    Work has gone in to the Anniversary Edition to ensure it fits within Skyrim and the lore surrounding it as a whole; so much so, that if this is your first-time playing Skyrim, you won’t recognise what is base game and what is from the Creation Club content.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Anniversary Edition is a fun add-on for Skyrim fans. Including plenty of Creation Club content and some new quests will be enough for most players to be happy. Depending on how if you’ve played the game before, new official DLC is a big reason to upgrade too. Survival Mode is a bit of a misfire but other than that, this is an appealing package even if it doesn’t quite set the world on fire with essential content.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is a weak celebration of this masterpiece, including loads of new content, but we surely miss something more. Despite of that, it still feels the same game that we fell in love with 10 years ago.

    The technical issues do detract from the experience somewhat, especially when considering that many of the bugs are more than a decade old at this point, but they are not enough to keep Skyrim: Anniversary Edition from being the definitive way to experience the classic title.

    Not to mention a rich environment/landscape to traverse with ruins and caves to discover. Loads to discover and hours of gameplay to sink your teeth into so you will definitely get your money's worth especially with special edition adding all dlc.. not to mention the choice to add mods and creation club to open the game up even more.

    You really do feel immersed in the world of Skyrim as you progress into the story and side quests.

    Yeah there's bugs and glitches but this adds a certain character and asthetic to the world which is why I love it even more.

    This is a must have in the games collection for avid RPG and fantasy fans!    … Full Review »
