    The combat system of the game consists of many different weapons, abilities and magic spells, which really make the combats of the game challenging and attractive.
    What is a bit interesting is the technical problems and artificial intelligence of the game, which do not hinder the progress of the player in the game at all Skyrim, with its very beautiful and unique design of the main and secondary factions, characters, spells and abilities, its vast and attractive combat system, its wonderful map design, and of course its music, Skyrim does something that has been in my mind for many years. to remain a player and turn himself into an eternal work    … Expand

    Skyrim is to this date a nearly perfect RPG experience. Even after 6 playthroughs, nothing beats the atmosphere, the soundtrack and this warm feeling like arriving home. Everybody should have played this game at least once! I played the Legendary Edition with all the DLCs - which are great. Overall rating: 9.4.

    The fifth Elder Scrolls game has more impressive visuals, slicker combat and a more user friendly menu system than the previous game as well as creating an absorbing and believable world to explore and interact with. Not quite as good as the Mass Effect games, but a worthy runner up.

    Semplicemente perfetto, il migliore gioco soggettivamente che abbia mai giocato, ambientazioni , segreti, storia principale e secondaria , tutto condito da una mappa gigantesca e da personalizzazione delle build del personaggio, puoi fare veramente di tutto.

    Even without the DLCs, this game got me playing it for days and days in a feral way, it's just an amazing game that can't be explained and must be played before talking about it, the bad thing about it it's dealing with the joypad for a game that looks so much like it was born for a PC

    Skyrim is the best game ever! I bought this game and hated it. I made myself play it nonetheless and I absolutely fell in love. I got all the achievements and played it 3 times lol. That's about 900 hours of gaming and it was well worth it. Skyrim is the best- glitches and all!

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Skyrim is one of these games where you can truly become whoever you want and do, mostly, whatever you want. Want to kill guards? Sure go ahead, prepare for the consequences though.

    When I first played it as a very young kid, it absolutely blew me away, my experience with the game was unreal, everything about it was out of this world. One of the most gorgeous and breathtaking worlds in a videogame, and to this day it still manages to surprise me.

    I love the Scandinavian Medieval setting, with the dragons and the diverse amount of creatures and people, it's a huge game where you create your own story.

    The gameplay is mostly basic with a decent variety of weapons and spells, nothing groundbreaking but it serves its purpose. Where the game feels outdated and tedious is the dungeon design, most dungeons look the same and some puzzles can be frustrating, that being said this doesn't necessarily ruin the experience.

    The scenery, the music, the aurora borealis... it's very nostalgic and makes me teary-eyed, I mourn the days when I didn't know anything about this game, and I wish I could experience it for the first time again.
    A Timeless Masterpiece.

    The sheer nostalgia with this game... I used to say I liked Oblivion better back when this first came out. Oblivion certainly does have its strengths and it does thrive in areas where Skyrim isn't as strong. Looking back now, though, I took this game for granted. What a journey it is.

    Unlike Elden Ring. This game is an actual Masterpiece. I Like to say no game is really a ten but like its predecessors it is fun for 100s of hours. I have close to 2000 hours of this game in total. And the team at Bethesda delivered a Legendary game. It is not without its flaws though.

So much variety in the way you can play and full of great items and gear to make every playthrough feel fresh. It does hit its walls after playing the game through several times. But the point is you still played through it COUNTLESS times.… Expand

Tiene un arsenal bueno, hay muchas armas, ya sean mazos, espadas, arcos, o algún otro tipo de arma, ademas de los hechizos de destrucción, conjuracion... y como olvidarnos de los numerables gritos, donde no solo se limitan a dañar al oponente, si no que tmb podemos invocar dragones, realentizar el tiempo, una especie de control mental a los dragones en un dlc, etc. Las mazmorras estan bien pero tienen 2 problemas... 1, terminan cansando 2. algunas no las puedes completar porq tendrías que hablar con alguien antes de hacerte la mazmorra, haciendo que no te incite tanto a explorar el mundo, al menos no son como Oblivion que esas mazmorras si que son malas. y repetitivas. Pero lo peor de todo Skyrim sin duda son sus bugs, es increible como en la especial edition sigue habiendo bugs, y no simples bugs visuales... si no que tambien bugs donde directamente no puedes seguir la mision, y esto es una tocaddura de huevos importante.

Skyrim almost completely redefines the idea of an open world sandbox RPG, the sheer amount of things you can do in this game leaves an idea of how vast and beautiful it is, and thats without mentioning the mods, which take this game from a 9 to a 10 for me. While mods are not required to enjoy a good playthrough of Skyrim, they take an already enjoyable experience and make it one of the most addicting games of your life. Skyrim is without a shadow of a doubt a must play for anybody who enjoys games at all.… Expand

    I still remember the first time I had Skyrim in my hands, it was 2014 and I was playing Resident Evil 6 and my mother came home from work with Skyrim, I stopped playing and started to look at the cover but on that At that time I was still very excited about RE 6 and ended up not playing Skyrim on the same day, however when I did I discovered one of the best worlds ever created in a game.I still remember the first time I had Skyrim in my hands, it was 2014 and I was playing Resident Evil 6 and my mother came home from work with Skyrim, I stopped playing and started to look at the cover but on that At that time I was still very excited about RE 6 and ended up not playing Skyrim on the same day, however when I did I discovered one of the best worlds ever created in a game.

    Skyrim is easily one of, if not my favorite game of all time, I love the universe created here, the immersion provided by this game was unbelievable, I had never experienced anything like this (at the time I played it I was 13 and I remember asking "is Bethesda famous?" little did I know what was to come lol) and i got addicted to it for several months (to this day I still play from time to time).

    Positive Points:

    Main Quest (people often complain that the main quest is weak but I still don't understand why, for me the story of Dovahkiin is quite interesting and my only criticism of the campaign is maybe its duration, but I always mix main quest with side quests, and exploration and that ends up making me immersed in the universe in such a way that I just don't realize it's short)

    Freedom (Honestly? is one of the best points of this game, you can just skip the main quest and still have several stories and adventures to try out, you can skip all the quests and still have immense fun exploring this game, you can being a werewolf, vampire, wizard, warrior, archer, the freedom provided here is surreal)

    Immersion (If you stop to experience the universe created here, you will have one of the best experiences ever in a game, you open a book and suddenly a sidequest starts, in it you meet a ghost, discover a forge made by a lost civilization and the story unfolds, maybe you are just walking and you find a house in the forest, there you discover a place of "appreciation" of a different skooma, you use it and end up trapped by vampires)

    Universe creation (You can spend hours and hours just reading books, uncovering several stories that took place before Skyrim's timeline or even current issues in the game, it's really fascinating)

    Soundtrack (It's just fabulous, the background songs, the battle songs, the tavern songs (highlight for , the song The Dragonborn Comes), the music played in Sovngarde, are all just amazing)

    Gameplay (another point that people often complain about but I particularly find the gameplay satisfactory, I played most of mine as a wizard so ...)

    Atmosphere (I love the Nordic theme so I don't need to say anything else lol)

    Negative points:

    Be the leader of everything (In all faction quests you will end up as the leader or top figure within that faction, it bothers me a lot because in my view it doesn't make sense to be archmage of Winterwold school and leader of thieves guild. To buy houses you need to become thane and ends up becoming thane of all cities which again doesn't make sense and the same can be said of becoming champion of all daedras at the same time)

    Companions (Most of them have no personality and end up serving only as cargo, I like Lydia, Brelyna but this is more due to my immersion in the game than character development)

    Repetition of voice actors

    Anyway, it's a fantastic game and it was with it that I had my first experience with RPGS making me love this style of game. I would say that Skyrim is a must for everyone who likes video games.    … Expand

    Skyrim is the largest, and most compelling work that I've had the opportunity to play this year. It's engaging, engrossing, and will take over your gaming life for many months to come. Not only is Skyrim among the best that 2011 has to offer, but for me, this is, without hesitation, the Game of the Year.
