The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim reviews and comments
An ode to a legend: that is Skyrim. From the iconic dragon attack to the sprawling, beautiful world, it's more than a game—it's a world brimming with adventure. The true magic, however, lies in the shared experience. I’ll never forget staying up until 6 AM with friends, passing the controller, and laughing as a giant launched my character into orbit. We weren't just playing; we were crafting our own narrative. With installed mods, we turned dragons into Thomas the Tank Engine, creating inside jokes and unforgettable moments. This wasn’t just a single-player game; it was a shared journey. Skyrim’s enduring legacy isn't just about its brilliant design; it's a testament to the power of a world you can truly live in and share with others. It's a masterpiece that will forever hold a special place in my gaming heart.

Damn! This game. The lengthiest game I've ever played in the entirety of my existence. Still, I craved for more. The Elder Scrolls V will get into this entire genre, which leads you eventually to the Witcher franchise. It has magic; it has hand to hand combat; it has ranged combat; it even has dragons and all. And on top of that is the soothing music.
Skyrim IMO should be in the top 10 games of all times due to its creativity.

Still one of the comfiest games around.
Streamlining went great for the combat but got a bit too much in the perk system.
Sadly every rerun dies somewhere around Whiterun

this is quite possibly one of the worst fucking game's I've seen in my entire goddam life. Whoever made this needs to suffer a perishingly bleak fate frfr 😔
Skyrim is a wonderful world to explore.
Memorable setpieces, tons of locations to explore and the best combat in Elder Scrolls yet.
Quests feel a bit shallow in comparison to Oblivion and Skyrim itself lacks a bit in environment variety.

Skyrim is a one of a kind roleplaying game where focusing on a class builds up your skills and your path, but with the free will to choose and change other stuff to try and play. Slaying dragons could not get any better. Not to mention the crazy NPCs. But above all, it is the huge open world that is offered what is the most crazy about Skyrim, that is fully open for exploration, full of wilderness, and dangers.
