These fights – I will add – are not for the faint of heart. You can increase the difficulty and tweak the mods to your liking which is fantastic for the new player to test out what works for them. The new Dragon Hunt system allows you to take on the mighty winged beasts solo if you are feeling brave, or as a group like the slightly more sane players out there. The fights almost feel multi-layered, an epic clash between hero and beast that honestly makes it feel like everything is at stake throughout. With the release of the latest module for Neverwinter (modules are like expansions, added periodically) Dragonslayer, the teams at Cryptic Studios and Arc Games have truly revamped the entire dragon system in the game. Hacking away with a mystical sword or casting spells to defeat the hordes is intuitive and feels meaty. I have never really played an MMO and stuck with it as most of them tend to be more relatable to PC, or just simply aren’t that great. The combat in the game is satisfying, the side quests given out are all usually just slightly off the main quest path, and it is free to play. Sure it’s an MMORPG on console, but it works, and it works well. Neverwinter released in 2013, almost ten years ago now, and has grown from strength to strength.

By on board I mean onto your Xbox, Neverwinter is set in the D&D world and boy will it get you started in the universe in all the right ways.
