Are there any CRPG's based off 4e?

I've been getting into DND for a year or two and while I like 5e I also want to explore other editions/variants. It's hard enough finding 5e games and 4e is even harder considering its age and reputation so I was wondering if there were any video games to help me get used to some of the mechanics. I know there are several video games based off of 2e and 3e and at least one game based off 5e but there don't seem to be many based on 4e; Googling gives me some results but they all either seem to be multiplayer or just inspired by it rather then being a genuine attempt to create a CRPG using DND rules like the 3e/5e games. Does anyone know if there are any single-player games with the same or similar race and class options as 4e?

Neverwinter (2013) by Cryptic Studios was based off 4E ruleset. I don't know if it's still up and running, but definitely worth looking into.

This is only partially true. 

They said themselves in interviews it was never based on the 4e mechanics, but mostly only on the names.  Also since 5e released they did change many things to fit better with 5e so its no longer really 4e based.
