Neverwinter Nights 2 is one of my favorite games—if you want to know why you should play it, I've got a separate write-up here. Even though NwN2 released in 2006 after the dawn of the Xbox 360, it's aged more poorly than many of its contemporaries and even predecessors, making it harder and harder to recommend over the years until now.
I'm happy to say that Aspyr did a great job on its remaster, and this is the version of NwN2 you should play today—whether as an old fan coming back or a first-time player. It's just $10 more expensive than the $20 complete collection on GOG (the original is not available on Steam), and offers a smoother, more adaptable, and more user-friendly experience that crucially has full compatibility with old mods and fan campaigns. Most transformative for me has been bringing NwN2 on the go with my Steam Deck.
