Neverwinter Review

Neverwinter is a rare story-focused gem among the glut of MMOs that have entered the market since the release of games like World of Warcraft and Elder Scrolls Online.

There’s a lot to love about the world of Neverwinter, based on the Forgotten Realms city from Dungeons and Dragons. There’s plenty to do and explore, and it has one of the key features no MMO can create on its own: a dedicated fanbase.

The game came out in 2013 and still has well-populated servers, making it easier for your character to team up and role play with others. There are also fan-created servers that take on worlds of their own invention.

Story

When your character enters the game, Neverwinter is currently suffering the mysterious loss of their Lord. The city has recently been sacked by invading forces, leaving many dead. And those dead are currently rising again to attack the inhabitants of the city they once defended.

Your task is to investigate what these risen dead want. They’re looking for something, and a mysterious group seems to be helping them. Is this connected to the disappearance of the Lord of Neverwinter? Or the Elemental attacks? It’s up to you to find out.
