The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Reviews

10/10 game for sure , the story is good , the combat is amazing

Skyrim its like home to me, and like home you can always go back and improve it. i first play this when in highschool and have rundown house, now i have better living and setup, skyrim is also can get better, i can improve the game just like my home, can put whatever i need inside it. this is why skyrim is always have player that came back years after years. unlike other old game where once you got back you just remembered how outdated the game is, but in skyrim its only getting better with mods everytime you boot-up the game. hope bethesda came to its sense when new Elderscroll game release. its the first game i always install when i got new setup

Played Skyrim on the 360 until my game broke after nearly 999 hours in. So I SWEAR if someone looks at this review and goes "Pft, 4 hours in. How would he know anything?" I'll shout your ass off a cliff. So...for the .0000001 of people who never heard, seen, played, or just was born 5 hours ago and just got into gaming Skyrim is a fantastic Bethesda game. Probably to some it's last, but let's not go there today. The important part is Skyrim is all about the side-quests. The main story, much like Oblivion, and fairly plain as bread. Your discovered to be a dragonborn, you go to talk to a bunch of old men on a cliff, they teach you how to shout at people off said cliff, you shout them off said cliff, and then proceed to shout at dragons, people, places, and towns folk for the remainder of your play through. No seriously you probably will use that shout more than any other, it's gold. But the main story is hardly important. it's fun sure, but nothing impressive. Side-stories are where the game shines. You'll run across mages that will try and take over the world, warewolves, vampires, mudcrabs, a town of insane people, books that will try and attack you, ghosts and ghouls in various dungeons and archives, falmer, druids, the undead, secret assassination plots, people trying to talk to the gods, and plots to overthrow the kingdom. So ya, there's a lot. I wont spoil anything specific and iv kept the best ones hidden so if your interested in THIS then you'll be interested in general. Id like to also take note to the world building too here and music. Both are, if you were living under a rock (or just born) nearly legendary at this point. I'm not sure why either. Some say it's over hype, but I played it when it first game out ages ago, the game really hits the notes well here. Something just feels right when walking around Skyrim. To the music fitting the theme or mood, to the world's trees, plants, animals, and monsters. The world feels alive, well built, and crafted with consideration to how it would really look if you threw yourself into the pages of a Bethesda world from all their fancy concept art and lore. Sometimes I nearly forget where I am, until a wolf comes around and starts nibbling at my shoes. So, that's a brief idea of what Skyrim is. I hope it does some justice. The game is still fantastic despite the clear age gap at this point, but modding on better sites than the in game mod assistance can go a long way to help that, if your willing to put in the fuss of modding at all. But that's up to you, not everyone cares. "Ahrk fin"

I love this game and you probably will, too. It's so free and open and comforting. Explore, do quests (or don't) it's all up to you. You can play at your own pace and you are never pushed into doing things if you aren't ready and just feel like wandering around the beautiful world doing whatever you want. Worth every cent.

No other sand box games are comparable ! Hundreds of hours of role playing, multitude of places to visit with their own ambiances never seen before and, on top of all that, hundreds of quests ! Are you ready for this ?

Skyrim isn’t just a game you dont just play it. You experience it. From the moment you step into helgen you’re free to be whoever you want. One of the best role playing game for sure. Still in 2025 you wont regret buying this masterpiece because of its everlasting mod updates. +Endless exploration +Unforgettable music +Incredible freedom +Modding heaven -Even with all the fix mods there is a lot of bugs to bear. Even after hundreds (or thousands) of hours, Skyrim keeps giving. It’s a must play.

When you think of memorable rpgs Skyrim is on the list among the best and i know i'm not the only one who thinks this way. I played a lot of games but the entire Elder Scrolls series holds a special place in my hearth. This is not a review for the ,,Special Edition'' of the game, this is more like a tribute for the original game and the amazing mod support so thank you Bethesda and the content creators for the incredible amount of mods this game received along the years. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3398872848 There is something about this game that is making me loose track of time and reality, the immersion and the feeling that you're lost in the world exploring ruins or dungeons,taking a quest to kill a bandit and next thing you know you're fighting dragons,there is so much to do and experience.. it's like a dream from which you never want to wake up. Maybe it's the size of the open world or the excellent music, the exploration and the wildlife..i can't tell how many times i just picked one valley or a mountain and roleplayed as a hunter.. or used ,,Live another life'' mod and try a new playthrough with a different starting zone..another build a completely new experience.. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3383583800 Like me i'm certain that most of you played Skyrim a lot and you're familiar with modding.. i remember spending so much time making sure everything is compatible and working,but this amount of work is not for everyone and i know some of you stay away from modding for this reason. Nowdays modding is easier than ever because you can install entire modlists with Wabbajack.. with just one click! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3424943221 I have to mention Enderal because its free if you own Skyrim, a standalone game and if you need something similar to an Elder Scrolls title look no further!

Played Skyrim for the first time in my 25 years old and it was amazing. It has perfect medieval fantasy atmosphere. The world feels personal and alive, and I appreciate such thing in games very much. Tho I'm disappointed with republishing the same game over and over just with mods and without fixing major bugs in so many years. Bugs you can play with, but it's just less fun. But anyway. Skyrim itself - 10/10, as it pleased my ego to be a Dragonslayer, a leader of the Thieves guild, Brotherhood and the Companions, an Archmage, a Thayne for so many Yarls, Skyrim would've died if it wasn't for ✨ me ✨

the only mods you need for the vanilla game are costco cabernet sauvignon bellavitano cheese + garlic n chive pita bites + 2 shots of finlandia vodka neat 10/10 would recommend

Easily a forever game. There are few games that will do that. A forever game isn't a game with a lot of content, its a game with a lot of GOOD content. Stop buying new games that disappoint and buy classics like this. Edit: Better than Avowed
