Nov 5, 2016Great game back in the day, Solid game now. Addition of all the dlc makes it a must buy if you missed it like I did. Visuals are better than what people are making it out to be if you have a dope TV.

Nov 30, 2016If you love Skyrim as much as I do and don't mind paying full price for it again just for some visual enhancements than by all means buy it. But if you A. Have finished the game and its DLC or B.Haven't played the game and happen to own a PS3, Xbox 360 or a PC get the original version of the game (for pc if you buy the legendary edition for cheaper you can get the special edition for free).

Nov 23, 2018The game is amazing, a must play in my opinion. The problem is the creation club. There is no need for the creation club. Mods do a much better job and are FREE. The creation club drags this game down a bit.

Nov 3, 2016I don't know why anyone would complain. I'm a PC player and my "vanillia" skyrim does look better with the incredible mods the community has delivered.... but who cares? Skyrim i awesome and this gives me a reason to play it for a 4th time. Buy it.

Oct 31, 2016I'm truly surprised at the low rating this game has. I had played it on pc and started playing this PS4 edition yesterday. The picture looks decent, the sound is amazing. After spending 3-4 hours playing, I'm sure I would want this game to never end. It feels like the first time. So I highly recommend to buy this game.

Oct 31, 2016I loved Skyrim when I originally bought it, beat it but never played the DLC's. I wasn't going to re-buy it, didnt have anything going on this weekend, ended up buying it and had a absolute BLAST. Loved being back in Skyrim with the new graphics. They arent the best part though, along with getting to play the DLC, the LOADING TIMES ARE CUT AT LEAST IN HALF, HALLELUJAH LOL

CD-ActionJan 12, 2017Special Edition is a boring remaster – there’s no new content and the visual update is modest. Nonetheless it’s the best way to play Skyrim on a console and a good reason to spend another couple hundred hours in one of few games that are truly worth it. [13/2016, p.67]

Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaJan 8, 2017Thankfully, the base game itself remains as utterly essential as always. [January 2016, p78]

Playstation Official Magazine UKDec 27, 2016Five years on and Skyrim's quality still stands head and shoulders above all RPGs not named The Witcher 3. It's well worth a revisit, even if the mod support is sorely lacking versus other formats. [Christmas 2016, p.94]
