    Let's start with the graphics -- compared to oblivion, there's not much of an upgrade.
    The gameplay of oblivion and skyrim was basically the same.
    Story, Skyrim's Main story is utter sh8. Like it has no direction at all, the world doesn't even respond to your heroic acts. The side quest, unlimited fetch quest simulator. Overhyped and too bugy. Combat is too funny, it's basically    Let's start with the graphics -- compared to oblivion, there's not much of an upgrade.

    Combat is too funny, it's basically oblivion -- a 2006 game! hahaha!
    The only good side of this game is the music. Even up to this game, I can still remember the lyrics of "the dragon born comes".
    I'll take oblivion all day compared to this skyrim, I'm looking at you unilmited bugs!    … Expand

    Skyrim é um jogo maravilhoso , eu nunca fui um cara muito de RPGS , mais neste caso o Skyrim me prendeu de tal maneira que eu joguei ele demais e tenho muitas horas acumuladas , é um jogo que eu indico demais , e creio que é um dos melhores jogos que eu já joguei na minha vida❤️

    it was alright, I think it is overhyped but I could definitely see that it was good and a head of it time when it was new.

    If you like open world rpg its obviously good choice for you. Of course it can become boring after 2 months of play.. but well if you play a game two months that means something.

    A classic. Most all the quests outside of the main quest have been interesting and fun but Skyrim is all about sidequesting so it's totally fine in this game. There are many ways to play and re-play this game. Lots of choices from what direction you take in the game, to building custom houses, and looting everything to to craft so many different things. The game is older though so there are a fair number of bugs that can be encountered but it was my second rpg and a fav for a lond time. Also- the music is wonderful.

    Takeaways
    Pros: lots of customization and types of quests, options options options, great music.
    Cons: older game so is falling behind in the graphics area, can be buggy especially at high player levels.    … Expand

    The worldbuilding is great and it's pretty immersive at times, but the combat is too clunky and that killed the experience for me.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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]
