Skyrim is currently sitting at the best game of 2011 on metacritic, beating the likes of Portal and Battlefield 3. It also is currently the 7th best PC game of all time.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
The developers of Lordbound increased the scope as they became more familiar with the Creation Kit and got inspired by the original Skyrim.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.
Zelda has a point lower than it with 17 reviews, it can beat it score on metacritic. And just because it has a high rating on it doesn't mean it the best game of all time.
i dont need metacritic to tell me this. i just need my controller, my ps3, and my sofa.
meta critic doesn't know shit about gaming,its only fan-boys that go there to brag about scores
Metacritic is unreliable.
The real truth is for the first time you might see many games get to share goty on different sites.
All these games are great.
From Batman to Portal 2 to Uncharted 3 to Skyward Sword to Skyrim to so many others. Great year for gaming on all systems
