"If you’ve never experienced Skyrim, the Special Edition is certainly an adventure you can’t afford to miss."

Attack of the Fanboy

"It’s showing its age and still suffers from the trademark Bethesda bugs, but The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is a good enough excuse to warrant a return trip or...

"A wonderful recreation of Skyrim, which remains - despite rough edges and badly-aged elements - one of the greatest RPGs ever made."

Still One of the Best RPGs

This game is one of the best role playing games of all time. It has aged pretty well considering how old it is. The graphics and performance are great on Steam Deck and the mods are a plus. I will continue to have this game as part of my library, it's still one of my favorite games

Amazing game. Played it for the first time (somehow) recently and it still holds up. Love the open world nature of it that doesn't seem empty . Getting some mods can be a bit tricky if you have no clue how to do it but there are a lot of mods for this game that only add to the experience.

I had originally played TES Skyrim on the xbox years ago soon after it had come out, and i enjoyed it overall for what it was. But, then i switched over to PC not too long ago and i have to say that being able to add so much EPIC community content to the game, modernise it in various ways and make it much more immersive and interesting, and look way better too through modding, Skyrim is like a brand new game for me and has easily become one of my absolute favourites! I highly recommend it, especially if you take the time to learn to mod...which is easier than one might think! In my case, Skyrim has become one of the best Werewolf simulators/role play games available at this time!
