It's your own journey
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim allows you to live another life in another world. Create any character you can imagine by selecting from iconic races, such as Khajiit, Argonian, and Nord, among many others!

Only time will tell.

From the frigid tundra of the North to the sun-scorched lands of the South, explore all of Tamriel as you seek out new adventures!
Adventures await

8 / 10"If you’ve never experienced Skyrim, the Special Edition is certainly an adventure you can’t afford to miss."

Mike Guarino"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."

Beautiful remastered version of the game. Iconic soundtrack, story, and gameplay that everything else seems to use as a measuring stick. I played the game the night it released and had a hard time putting it down for years.
Coming back to this world with graphics and enhancements the community has implemented has made this game stand the test of time and honestly is still pretty gorgeous even by today's standards.

This game has that almost undefinable “it”factor. It has that “one more turn” appeal. The combat is simple, which is great for people who aren’t the most dexterous. You can focus like a laser beam or wander around aimlessly. You can keep trying to find a way not to get killed by being creative. Most importantly, it it simply immersive like a great book. As an added plus, an incredible community of modders. At 60 years old, the first open world game I have ever loved.

Just the classic Skyrim experience packaged into the special edition. I decided to go with this edition due to the modding community's preference of it over the legendary or anniversary editions. If you don't want to manually download mods, Special Edition has access to the creator club so you can gets mods from within the game and not from 3rd party websites so it's even easier to mod of you don't know how.
Overall playing has been a lot of fun, haven't played Skyrim in many years so it's definitely scratching that fantasy itch I've been having.

My all time favorite game ever. Its not just an RPG, its the type of RPG where you can be anyone you want (to an extent obviously) rather that just the character they give you. This game has made me desperate for another game like this so i'm scared to see what Elder Scrolls 6 will be like... However DO NOT GET ANAVERSARY EDITION. I wrote another review on that... shocking.

I have always heard great things about Skyrim but had never had the opportunity to play. I grabbed it here for a great deal. It has been a ton of fun so far.

Seems like Bethesda found the right amount of simple mechanics/open world game action rpg here. Still without mods the game seems very simple and might be a little boring after a while. Also the quest design and gameplay mechanics is a little too power-fantasy like for an RPG game. Still mods keep the game alive, fixing bugs and expanding gameplay options even though the various version and patches following the game's 11 year old release should've worked on that more than they did.
