    Still haven't finished the game but after putting in a few hours - even THIS late in the game - it feels like a must play for me.

    Skyrim is a good game, with a lot to do in it, sidequests that are even better than the main one, but with rewards for them beyond disappointing lol.

    I really liked the game but it's far from the perfect masterpiece that so many paint it.
    Pros:
    - Good graphics and good immersion.
    - Wide variety of quests, sidequests, jobs, weapons, armor, spells and powers.
    - Huge map with a multitude of caves, forests, huts, cities and tombs to explore.
    - The Shouts idea is very cool, but they could be much better and more usable than they are.
    - The infinity of Mods that can be applied greatly improving the game experience in many aspects that it is flawed.
    - DLCs are very nice to make the story, with good NPCs and at least with better rewards than usual in the game.
    - Interesting skill tree

    Cons:
    - Game gets extremely repetitive after a while if you want to do everything the game has to offer.
    - Rewards from missions that are extremely weak and unimportant for the growth of your items.
    - Animations that often fall short
    - Too weak spells vs weapons with Smith+Enchant
    - Shouts with little impact on fights (unless you use mods, and even then few usable).

    Honestly I don't know anything about this latest version released because I've seen many reviews saying that with MOD it was better than this "remaster". What I can say is that my experience with the Special Edition, which came for free after a while because I had bought the regular one, was excellent.

    I recommend, however, with the above reservations, because the game is not perfection that I see so much talked about, SOOOOO less better than Witcher kkkkk

    Complete the game using the mods. Bad dialogue, bad combat, average story. From afar the world was beautiful , but up close it was no fun to explore .The dungeons all felt the same to me and got pretty boring at times. The music was beautiful.The talent tree wasn't very good.the exploits were fun. Another Bethesda game for long winter evenings nothing special.

    Skyrim is a good game but it doesn't feel special or unique. Most places and dungeons look the same, NPC's are a big disappointment and it is based on quantity rather than quality. Menus and inventory screens are not practical and as a result navigation is really confusing and time consuming. But it is still a good game with a beautifully designed world, and lots of lore spread throughout it.

    Это игра на все времена! SKYRIM это одна из тех игр которые никогда не устареют. В ней очень интересные квесты, начиная со сюжетных , заканчивая дополнительными. Для меня минусами этой игры стали только автолевелинг и однообразные пещеры.Это игра на все времена! SKYRIM это одна из тех игр которые никогда не устареют.

    In this game, I experienced a feeling of discovery more than I have ever experienced before. In addition to the feeling of discovery, there are dozens of choices to be made. As for the bad sides, it has nice graphics for the year, but the game physics is terrible. There is no sense of hitting in the game. But if you take all that into account, it's a masterpiece in my eyes.

    An epic fantasy game. Probably the best action-adventure role playing game of all time until Witcher 3. Admirable design and creativity by the developers. Remarkable game play and a fine story with reasonable graphics and good optimization.

    It's far from perfect, but way back in 2011 this game was a miracle. It's definitely popular to hate these days but I can't deny the fact that there isn't a single other game I've poured more hours of my life into. Ten years later and I'm still playing.

    Overhyped game full of gray and dull backgrounds.

    The environment is bad. This game was bad in 2011, and is still bad over 10 years later. I honestly don't get the hype around the game, it was never good except for modding.

    Dragons are mainly an annoyance and aren't cool, combat is still unimproved vs it's predecessor Oblivion, and it's overall bad.

    Bethesda does not know how to make fun games, unless you look at Fallout -- wait, what was that...? Fallout's best versions came from another studio? Just wow.

    I don't know what to say, except it's very bad. So, so, bad...Total snoozefest.    … Expand

    I remember when I first played the game when it was released.
    I didn't even get past Whiterun and already had around 600 mods installed (fortunately my game didn't break till the end). Nowadays most of the good mods are paid and the game gets re-released like... 5th time?

    The game has clunky combat where one is waiting around. The waiting is there as a result from no attack cancelation to block an attack and attacks not stopping an immediate attack if you attack just before an enemy. The fov is painfully narrow too.

    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.
