    Generic RPG with gamebreaking bugs that somehow still manages to hook me in.

    You can't go wrong with skyrim, it can get glitchy but it depends on how much stuff happens all at the same time but apart from that its a brilliant game

    The game have interesting questa, a good lore, but...
    The gameplay is bad, how you play whit a sword in First Person? And also, an R.P.G. game can't be First Person, It is illegal.
    Also this game Is full of bugs, they destroy your game Experience!
    And when Bethesda did the remake, they didn't solve the bugs!
    bUt tHe wAtEr iS bEtTeR...I don't care of water!!!
    This is an R.P.G. game! I wanna play!

    Look you want to know why Skyrim is so good even in 2020? It's simple. It was a solid game back when it was released, and because Bethesda at the time had a big brain, and said "Hey what if we make a game, and make it so moddable the fans can turn it into other games entirely?"
    That's why. It's got so much you can do to mod it and change it that its entirely still worth playing in 2020.

    for me,game is really boring, story dont have any interesting moments, but gameplay is not bad, and upgrade systen is very cool, for 2011 this game was really cool, but, after 10 years its not so cool

    Все таки одна из грандиознейших игр ВЕКА! Впервые я попробовал ее на PS3, но уже спустя пол года, наиграв на плойке около 30 часов - я начал новое прохождение уже на компьютере и на данный момент Steam пишет, что я наиграл почти 350 часов (+100 в SE). Игра стала моей новогодней традицией, а создание и перевод модов - любимым хобби. Эта игра определенно изменила индустрию.Все таки одна из грандиознейших игр ВЕКА!

    Better than Skyrim only Skyrim without the bugs. +3000h in a single game shows the quality of it.

    Одна из лучших игр в жанре рпг. Плюсы перечислять не буду пройдусь только по минусам.

    - Система прокачки. Не вижу смысла в прокачке многих веток, по типу восстановления и красноречия. - Кривые анимации. - Озвучка не очень, по крайней мере русская. - Баги, их не много, но есть. Но даже учитывая минусы, игра просто шикарная. 9/10.    Одна из лучших игр в жанре рпг. Плюсы перечислять не буду пройдусь только по минусам.

    Very fun to play. Watch out you may shut down your real life! Mods galore. If you don't like something or want to add something else there is most likely a mod for it.

    it was winter season and i spent lot of time on this one enjoying the beautiful map and the snowy mountains followed by the pet meeko fighting enemies and slaying dragons together it was a lot of fun playing every quest of the game as the gameplay the environment the sound level and the gigantic dragons allow you to enjoy it.

    I have played this game many, many hours but never completed it.. Sure, it's fun and there are a bajillion mods out there to tweak it to your liking but it never really hits and keeps my interest long enough to keep going to the conclusion. It's full of bugs (thankfully, most of which can be fixed with PC mods) and the performance is terrible but it's still a fun game.

    Longest videogame ever made? Yes. Skyrim is really long and I don't have a problem with that! But what I do have problem with is that it can get really boring sometimes in dungeons because every dungeon is almost the same thing and in my opinnion there are way too many potions. But I still like this game for it's RPG mechanics which are fun and how much stuff there are to do!

    Игра не так хороша как я думал раньше, но все таки очень много времени в ней пройдено, атмосфера просто прекрасна. Подкачал сюжет и доп квесты, которые были не очень интересны

    Skyrim's gameplay becomes quite repetitive and boring rather quickly. However, mods help prevent these issues from becoming prevalent. It is never a good thing when a game heavily relies on mods for it to be enjoyable over a long-term, especially when that game is a RPG. The stories told are very hit or miss but none of them are truly bad, while none of them are truly good either. In itsSkyrim's gameplay becomes quite repetitive and boring rather quickly.

    I could go on and on about Skyrim, but I'll just say that playing it is an amazing experience. There is a lot of variety, many quests, and a lot of story and lore. I love that I can make my own character and then just do what I want! I should add that I am also a lover of fantasy, which is a bonus! Amazing game, 10/10

    It's a super atmospheric game with satisfying mechanics and controls but is brought down by its extremely large number of bugs and glitches, overall amazing however.

    Sometimes I sleep soundly, have beautiful dreams, and then I remember that every merchant has a chest noclipping under them. Then I wake up with that fear and terror, that everything is fake and you can noclip through all materials. I start crying, beating myself over and over so this nightmare will end...

    The game is quite fun, tbh.

    Первый мой заход в скайрим затянулся часов на 5, хотя рассчитывал просто посмотреть пойдет ли у меня эта игра на старой видеокарте. Не идеальная, как продолжение или рпг, но как игра прекрасна.

    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]
