It wasn't the promise of new lands to explore to dragons to slay that brought me back to Neverwinter; it wasn't even (at first) the opportunity to try out new classes. No, after an absence of several months, it was the opportunity to use the race-changing feature to transform my humdrum human great weapon fighter into a gloriously-bearded dwarf that sent me back into the arms of developer Cryptic's Dungeons & Dragons online role-playing game. And against all expectations, I embraced it, if only for a little while. Neverwinter's combat still excels all these months later, and the time since launch has given it a semblance of an endgame it previous lacked.

Seconds in, I could see that Neverwinter's combat had retained its sense of power and explosive immediacy. My great weapon fighter, newly shrunk to dwarven size, swung his blade with a flick of the left mouse button and exploded in a frenzy at a touch of the tab key. Neverwinter's focus on action lacks the novelty it once commanded in the days before . In a genre that's increasingly overcrowded, Neverwinter manages to establish itself as a game that's never fully boring, never too eager to rifle your pockets, and, well, never quite fun enough to stick around in for too long.

Danny from TwoDashStash writes: Dungeons: The Eye of Draconus is poorly made, full of poor humour and fails to capture the charm and nostalgia associated with old-school brawlers. Dungeons didn't have a lot of potential, but what small amount it did have it was unable to fulfill. It is clear that the developer, SuckerFree Games, was well informed of the genres history, but rather than using that knowledge to improve and build upon the genre they wasted it on crude humour.

Michael Crisman writes, "Admit it, you knew this was coming. Maybe not today, maybe not next week, but you knew, at some point, I was going to dig into the hog waller. If thats what youve been waiting for, retro gaming fans, then todays your lucky day. Rejoice. Clap your hands. Give the ol banjo a tune-up. Because today I dipped my hands into the muck, and I came up holding the royal, diamond-encrusted, jellyfish-immortal turd of all turds in the Nintendo Entertainment Systems library: Advanced Dungeons Dragons: Heroes of the Lance. Do you have any idea how much I hate myself just for writing that last sentence?"
