    (2013/2018) Uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en mi vida y uno de los que mas horas le he dedicado cerca de 600 horas sumadas entre todas las plataformas en las que lo he jugado.

    I played Skyrim on PS3, Xbox 360 and the Anniversary Version on Xbox One (meh). This is not the best version of the game, but pretty solid! Overall rating: 8.6.

    Across all platforms, PS3 version is the worst version of this phenomenal game.

    Listen. The game is absolutely AMAZING. But the lag is a big issue. But I still feel some of these scores are atrocious and undeserved for this masterpiece. I know that Bethesda refused to fix the game, but they had a point. Fixing the lag would require an entire overhaul of the creation engine.

I know the lag is an issue, but having over a hundred zero out of ten reviews is not deserved. Most of these reviews are outdated and before patching efforts took place. Everything else about Skyrim is absolutely amazing and would play a hundred times over. The story, the combat, skills, ALL of it. I play games like Red dead Redemption two, Horizon: Forbidden West, all of that. But Skyrim is that one game that always has me coming back for more. And you bet yo sweet a** that I’m going for platinum in this masterpiece of a game on the ps3.… Expand

    I state that the review is subjective and concerns my personal experience with Skyrim played at the release and replayed in 2019.

I played Skyrim at the release and abandoned it after less than 30 hours because I had a very bad experience, I decided to replay Skyrim in 2019 for another 100 hours and I had a very bad experience again. I had very high expectations after loving Oblivion and Morrowind, but Skyrim among its fetch quests, bugs, console freezes, bad rpg part compared to its two predecessors, the uninteresting exploration, the uninteresting missions, the unfun combat and other things did not allow me to appreciate the game that I consider to be the worst game I have ever played in more than 20 years of gaming. I've played at least 400 games and finished at least 300 games and for me Skyrim remains the worst game ever. Despite my bad experience with Skyrim I still recommend buying it (not on PS3) to those interested in a game like this because his experience will be different from mine. P.S. My review is about the base game and not the dlc because I didn't play them.… Expand

    I think it's kind of insane how many people gave 0/10 user score even back in the days when the game literally were so revolutionary "gamewise" that it blew peoples minds.

    The game itself is very good though quests much shallower than Morrowind and Oblivion. DLC is good. The PS3 version, though, is a buggy mess, with a large enough save file the game becomes unplayable.

    More than 10 years after this title's initial release, I still see Skyrim as my gold standard when rating action RPGs, and I have played it on 3 separate platforms, because it is just that good.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim doesn't quite capture the magic of Oblivion. However, it's still a great game.

    Man Skyrim on any platform is just amazing. You can make Skyrim for the Game Boy and I'd probably play the heck out of it.

    This version was my first experience with Skyrim, and honestly, I couldn't really get that immersed in it or stay committed to it for that long. I did actually put a good amount of time into the game, but the flaws were too significant.

Mainly: The combat's clunky, the loading times are sleep-inducingly long, and... the nature of this game is to collect, but the more stuff you collect, the more lag there is. So one of the core aspects of the game just doesn't really work that great because of the system limitations.

    Once I played Skyrim VR, I realized just how good this game can actually be. Literally every flaw disappeared in that version, leaving only minor complaints. Try that, or a Special Edition version instead. This game gets more interesting with add-ons.    … Expand

    Extremely fun game. Lots of unique builds you can do with your character. Even more unique builds with mods. Story is pretty good. Dialogue is alright. Huge open world with lots of dungeons to explore and clear. Dragons to fight and draugr to kill. Lots of things to do in this game. Amazing Game. Lots of Quests and sidequests to complete.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is without doubt the most influential RPG of the modern era. It was released for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Xbox 360 and PS3. The game´s gameplay is beyond epic. But I have to say, the PlayStation 3 is the worst adaptation of Skyrim. The graphics are stale and I found many bugs. Nevertheless, the game is very great and I´ve spent months in its dungeons!

    Best RPG (along with Witcher 3) I have ever played. Although its main story lacks depth, Its map and side quests are some of the best in the entire genre. Its an extremely long but addicting and beautiful journey.
    10/10 Must play.

    This is a game full of emotions for gamers who are willing to embrace it. A beautiful fantasy land that makes loading times a thing of the past and is full of surprises. Not only do you get a lot of variety in the locations, the gameplay offers a lot of different experiences as well. [December 2011, p.66]

    I enjoyed Skyrim and I look forward to the DLC that we know is inevitably coming. If we looked at this honestly, though, this game probably should have been pushed back a month or so for more polish. It needed it and it still does.

    Skyrim is a gorgeous production that truly does justice to the words "roleplaying game." It doesn't just tell us a story, it gives us the chance to tell a story of our own. At its best, that's what an interactive art form should be all about. [Jan 2011, p.73]
