Skyrim is good, but it's a flawed good. It's a different experience in many ways to previous Elder Scrolls games, but, at the same time, it's still the familiar world Elder Scrolls fans know and love. It has the usual kickass story, but the difficulty curve is a bit wobbly, to say the least, and, in general, it's a story of give and take. I'd still give this my thumbs up, but only to RPG fans, as opposed to newbies to the genre. You want a “my first RPG” to ease you in, this isn't it. You want an entertaining, but sometimes frustrating experience? Go for it, empty your wallets, and don't be like the douches who torrented this game with no intention of buying.
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.
Big Bethesda Nintendo Switch eShop sale now live with lowest prices ever for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom (2016), and more.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been updated to support true Physically Based Rendering thanks to the release of Community Shaders 1.0.
this seems like an honest review, I think too many sites are overrating Skyrim imo
Overrated indeed. It's a great game, no doubt there, but they should have taken more time with it.
With the amount of flaws and problems the game shipped with it should never have scored as high as it did.
Bethesda sells a buggy final product because they know they can get away with it, plain and simple.
Weak review; Skyrim = GOTY
I'm new to TES, but I LOVE Skyrim. The only other RPG I really enjoyed was Red Dead Redemption, which Skyrim reminds me of to a degree. No other game has consumed as many hours of my life and attention as Skyrim. As hyped as it was, it has exceeded my expectations.
everytime a big game gets a low score, you guys go "AWWWW BAD REVIEW, TROLLLL TROLLL OMG!"
a 6 is a bad score, not a 7. Besides, why read the review? If you like the game then that's good enough right?
Same goes with AC revleations, idgaf if it did not get great scores, i love it.
