    Great game that has hundreds of hours of story, fantastic graphics, and exciting dragon battles. The Switch port holds up well. There are always new ways to experience skyrim, even if you have been there many times before

    This game is a 10/10 game if you have mods and you play it on a PC. It is still a very fun game on the Switch, and it feels amazing to play on the go or on a couch. The reason I gave it an 8 is because I encountered 2 game breaking glitches, and lost around 5 hours of progress because of it. SAVE ALL THE TIME.

    Everything else is fine though. I would give this a 0/10 because you can't marry Serana, but I'm feeling generous today.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In the videogame Skyrim, I create mods that spawn cheese, kill Fondle, and slaughter zombies with a potato. I also replace the statue of a woman holding a statue of a sword with a weeping man holding a statue of a sword that isn't an actual sword. And then I buy the woman a copy of Limbo.

    I'm a god.

    I call myself Diablo the Cheater. As far as I know, I'm the only person who writes a list of cheating cheats and uses it in-game. My mod turned the game into an interdimensional sex simulator (powered by a **** necromancer), and I use that game on a daily basis. To date, I've cheated in thirty games. Twenty-one of them were developed by other users, and the other two were made by me.

    And today, this **** is named after me.

    I use a relatively simple cheat to game console games. What I do is turn the switch on the controller I use into a button on the console, and then I press it to trigger cheats that give me a better experience. Here's what those che.    … Expand

    Great game but I don't feel exploration is encouraged as everywhere looks the same once your running in the wilderness.
    The colour pallet could be a bit less in dark and grim.
    Too many warp points it's just confusing.

    WOW!!! what a load on content. Playing it on the Switch is awesome. Plays and sounds perfect. It has a good story which other open world games )like Breath Of The Wild had nothing to offer) Yes the Graphics are only a touch better then the PS3/360 but it is still just a great game. Huge worlds and tons of quests. Great job Nintendo/Bethesda

    This game is so bad. Skyrim is not good even for 2011. I don't understand why most people love this. Most overrated RPG of all time.

    I never understand why skyrim is considered such a masterpiece don't get me wrong the game is fun on the beginning but the more you play the more you realise that the fighting system is clunky af, the cavern or instances are just copy/paste, the story is ok and the most important the game is full of bugs.

    who cares about the mods how do you still accept that Bethesda sells you game that aren't finish that you need to mod to make them good.

    I can't believe they finally added anniversary content to the switch version! There are some really solid additions to the game that breathe new life into this already impressive rpg experience. I'm really enjoying the new quests and armor, and the new spells are fantastic additions as well.

    My save broke and now it crashes when I go anywhere in a huge area west of Solitude. I'm level 23 and I have to revert to a save from level 12 to fix that area, and maybe it'll bug out again anyhow.

    Bethesda keep reselling this game and they still can't spend some money on fixing the bugs or at least provide a service where they fix your savefile online.

    The Elder Scrolls is one of the premier RPG series around the globe. Skyrim, much like its predecessors does not disappoint.

    At times, this is like the coolest, most satisfying and expansive game ever - But it does have its ugly parts, mechanics like diseases come to mind, or that it has quite a lot of bugs. Still really good fun!

    Anyone who dreamed of exploring Skyrim on the go or during prolonged toilet sessions, will instantly forgive a slight downgrade needed to ensure fluidity (the game almost always runs at 30 fps). Apart from some visual trade-offs and a bit of exclusive Nintendo content (e.g. Link’s outfit) it’s the same game you know and possibly love. [01/2018, p.50]
