    Skyrim is iconic game series - and I have bought many previous editions of the game - each one a clear upgrade on what went before. Until we get here. Graphically Special and Anniversary editions are very similar. Bethesda are using user mods to...do their job for them?

    Astonishingly - Anniversary has a full price of £42, and an upgrade price of £15 (it should be free?!) - so the smart thing is to get game pass where you can get Special edition....and also Forza Horizon 5 (and others).
    Skyrim will always be fun to play - but this (like the other, even worse remaster out at the minute) is nothing but a cash grab with little to no work, and certainly nothing like the work to justify the price they are looking for. Dont get burnt.    … Expand

    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.

    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 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.
