The problem however, is that no other aspect of Neverwinter Night’s visual presentation has received improvements of this sort of caliber, meaning that rather then enhancing the game, they merely serve to emphasize just how dated it really is.įrom the start you know you’re in for a ride when the pre-rendered introduction kicks in, looking blocky, flaw ridden and stuttery in a way that simply does not look good on a 55 inch 4K television. As alluded to at the top of this review, Neverwinter Nights runs at 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second. Though alterations have been made to the UI and control system on account of Neverwinter Nights new PS4 digs (something we’ll get to later), the bounty of the technical improvements that this enhanced version of the game enjoys appear to be limited to screen resolution and framerate.

A higher resolution and smoother framerate aren’t enough to keep Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition from looking dated.

As such, it’s perhaps cynically easy to date Neverwinter Nights from a technical standpoint.

Neverwinter Nights originally saw release on PC all the way back in 2002 a time when Sony’s PlayStation 2 console had been on the market for just over a year and a half, and was certainly a fair ways from realizing its potential.
