20000 Neverwinter ZEN + 3000 Bonus Bundle

62 / 100

This is yesterday's MMO by the merits of its own content, but compensates by potentially ushering in a DIY revolution.

There's no denying that Neverwinter is derivative. It's a game of borrowed parts and tweaked ideas that sometimes seems a little behind the times. But each of the game's systems, from combat to crafting, is expertly crafted--simultaneously offering depth, fun, and accessibility. Cryptic has created a finely tuned, smooth game that remembers the lessons its predecessors learned, and in the process bookends a long progeny of MMORPG development.

8 / 10

Neverwinter's engaging combat and plentiful free content make up for limited customization.
