    Tbh, I really enjoy this game because the frame rate is realistic and so does the graphics. It's one of my favorite Skyrim ports of all time, including the PS4 version. I really enjoyed fighting against the dragons, bandits, skeletons, and more enemies. My final verdict of this game is a 10 out of 10!

    So you run the game and… see squares in all letters (russian players understand). Do you have some quality check or smth?

    Признаться играл в игру 8 лет назад, тогда я играл в нее, установив пиратскую версию.
    Прошло 8 лет, увидел рекламу, решил вспомнить как оно было и в этот раз купил, поддержав, некогда такую популярную игру и серию в целом.
    P.S: получаю удовольствие от игры в полной мере, будто и не играл тогда. Всем хорошей игры, ребята!    Признаться играл в игру 8 лет назад, тогда я играл в нее, установив пиратскую версию.

    Yes, it's the same game. Yes, there are very few changes. But the game is still good. Very good. If you want Bethesda to stop republishing Skyrim, just stop buying it. Nobody forces you.

    This game is obvioisly great but the graphics are not polished enough for the ps5 port. I hadn't played skyrim since it came out on the ps3 and it has been a fun return.

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s more rare for me to get into a multiplayer game.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (10) Outstanding. A truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is given out rarely and indicates a game that cannot be missed.

    I paid ten dollars for the upgrade to PS5 (might have been a limited time release thing based on these other reviews) and replayed Skyrim since it’s been awhile for me. Skyrim is still a masterpiece, after all these years. I was surprised on how much more content they added to the Anniversary edition. They added a bunch of past mods into the standard game! The 10x faster loading screens are pretty much nonexistent. It’s a must buy if you want to replay Skyrim or never played it before and see why this game have been thriving for so long. If you have a PC though might want to play there for additional mods.    … Expand

    Still a 10/10. Skyrim is a brilliant game and now with the latest version it was great seeing it again with some fresh upgrades. we get new houses, weapons, spells and more. with the ps5 version I had tons of fun going for the different trophy's again as the game felt new again. while playing the game I didn't encounter any bugs outside what is considered normal for Skyrim. obviously theStill a 10/10.

    Seriously, we see the memes, the story…. Actually if you haven’t played Skyrim yet (even if you play it on either a freaking refrigerator or a Wi-Fi router), you are definitely missing out on Bethesda’s real deal.

    The performance upgrades make this a fantastic way to experience Skyrim for the first time, but slim content additions won’t enamour returning players. [Issue#9, p.76]

    Skyrim’s 10th anniversary edition is a rich and polished package, offering over hundred hours of top class RPG experience. If you never got the chance to play it back in 7th generation, now is the best time to do it.

    What was once the pinnacle of its genre has become a bit of a joke as it releases again and again and again. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition adds very little that can’t be found in the 2016 Special Edition or is already free with Creation Club content. There is enjoyment to be had out of playing the game in the new survival mode and I still adore the base game. However, Skyrim just isn’t as strong when held up to modern standards, and it is the fault of Bethesda that this tired horse is now running a race with so many others that are leagues faster.
