    Edit: Paid mods are gone but modgate will not be forgotten. We will stay vigilant, and we will be watching.

    Skyrim is worth playing once again, hopefully Fallout 4 ends up the same way.

    Clumsy action, flawed systems, subpar graphics. Yet, this colossal game is enjoyable. This very enjoyment turns the aforementioned shortcomings into distinctive features. It is well worth being hailed as a masterpiece.

    Run from dragon. Explore for 100 hours. Kill dragon. Accidently kill kids in orphanage. Kill everyone in whiterun for fun. Kill all the jarls for fun. Explore for 100 more hours. Never touch the game for another few months. Repeat. 10/10

    This one was masterpiece for me, so much to discover, so much to do, (*so much to steal*)!
    collecting different unique weapons or going to be the best smith in the world!
    Awesome, that was a hell of a game for me!

    It offers a sense of discovery, adventures, good optimization and graphics for its period, never-ending missions and immersion, as well as its epicness. My friend, Starfield can never be Skyrim. Skyrim was very different.

    Absolutely amazing rpg with kind of a meh combat system, though of course you can mod it however you want with over a decade of people throwing changes/revamps at it. You actually get to see Nocturnal :O

    Skyrim is one of those games that you come back to every year to remind yourself how amazing it is, especially when modded

    Extremely huge game, plenty of areas and characters with his own routines. The sensation of became part of the world is immense and immersive, and the freedom of action is very accomplished.
    The only flaws are the level scaling of objects and enemies (so the special ones tend to be mediocre if you find them soon) and the boring secondary missions, that affects the main history.

    the best rpg game you can play .
    It has a very big world that you can explore and do different quests, there are different characters that you can interact with, different items and different weapons are also in the game.
    Skyrim is truly a masterpiece.
    Be sure to test his mods.

    RPG por excelencia. Gracias a la libertad que te da, y a las miles de historias secundarias que contiene, aguanta año tras año sin ser desbancado por algo mejor. El combate es bastante tosco, como en todos los juegos de Bethesda hasta la fecha.

    I had so much fun with this game. I still remember the feeling I had the first time that dragon swooped down 13 years ago.

    Rating: 10/10

    Skyrim, the legendary open-world role-playing game from Bethesda Game Studios, deserves a perfect 10 in my book. Let me guide you through the reasons why this Nordic epic deserves a special place in the hearts of all video game enthusiasts.

    Immersive Atmosphere: From the moment you step into the world of Skyrim, you are immersed in a captivating and lifelike atmosphere. Bustling cities, ancient temples, and mountainous landscapes are infused with an ambiance that makes you feel a part of the world. The realism and attention to detail in every corner of the game are astonishing and draw you deeply into the experience.

    Unforgettable Soundtrack: Skyrim's music deserves special recognition. The soundtrack, composed by Jeremy Soule, is a masterpiece that adds a deep emotional dimension to the story and exploration. Each melody evokes a range of feelings, from the majesty of the landscapes to the tension of combat. It's one of those soundtracks that will stay with you long after you've put down the game.

    Absolute Freedom: One of Skyrim's greatest achievements is its ability to let you be whoever you want. You can be a noble knight, a stealthy thief, a powerful mage, or even a ruthless bounty hunter. This freedom to shape your character and your destiny is exceptional. Your choices affect not only the main story but also side stories and relationships with characters. The sense of control over your fate in Skyrim is great.

    Conclusion: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is more than a game; it's an experience that captivates you from the very beginning. Its immersive atmosphere makes you feel like you're living in a fantasy world, its soundtrack is a perfect emotional accompaniment, and its freedom to shape your character and story is exceptional. No matter how many years have passed since its release, Skyrim remains an undisputed classic of PC gaming. Dive into this epic world and discover the magic of Skyrim for yourself. You won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    Possibly Bethesda's greatest game so far. Times have moved on since Morrowind, this is a fun, engaging game with hundreds of hours of content. It is my most played RPG of all time.

    A solid game that still holds up today especially when you add in mods. But still has some problems.

    This game is a 9/10 thanks to the modding community. They saved this game, was ok by itself but mods made it god-teir. Hopefully the modding community saves Starfield too.

    Let's be real, the mods make this game. Although vanilla is fun, the mods make it great.

    Unfortunately, Skyrim trips and falls on its own (most probably, to make the cool-sounding deadline of 11-11-11) and just before it reaches perfection as the ultimate specimen of its genre, it self-destructs in a crucial aspect of game design: the interface and the peripheral components (inventory, journal, map, etc)... but that is not to say that Skyrim is anything but a truly majestic, epic RPG that will suck you right in its cosmos.

    Skyrim is definitely one of the best games of 2011, but if the DLC holds out, it might just be one of the best games of 2012 as well.

    Skyrim is the best open world RPG you can get. A true evolution of genre is not flawless but still it is the game you love to live in. [Christmas 2011]
