Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition is an excellent, subtle remaster and my new Steam Deck game of the summer

Neverwinter Nights 2 has received a remaster that enhances the original 2006 RPG, making it appealing to both returning players and newcomers. The remaster is compatible with existing mods and fan campaigns, and it allows for play on the Steam Deck. The game maintains its real-time with pause combat mechanics and isometric camera view, with controls adapting well for gamepad use. Performance on the Steam Deck is impressive, achieving a consistent 60fps, though some areas may cause frame rate drops, and battery life is limited to under three hours. The Enhanced Edition features sharper textures and a user interface that scales to HD resolutions, while also being more efficient in CPU usage. It supports cloud saves and retains compatibility with old save files, allowing for a seamless transition for players. The remaster focuses on delivering a polished experience without aiming for flashy graphics, preserving the original's charm and quirks.
