Graphics are good without overburdening your graphics card (for PC players)

The editors didn't like
Very buggy
Similar to past experiences with Bethesda RPGs like Elder Scrolls IV and Fallout 3
Similar dungeons
Landscapes and quests can get repetitive
Some gameplay elements (like the economy) are just a facade
Abstract: There are many reasons to like The Witcher 3; and all the other games like Witcher 3 too for that matter. The nuanced characters and writing, the expansive lore, the awesome monsters, or simply great card games such as Gwent. And that's to say nothing of...
It's Skyrim in virtual reality. That's pretty much what it comes down to, and I'm fine with that. Sure, I'd rather a game built for VR. Sure, I wish it were less janky. Sure, I wish melee combat had some of the heft of Gorn. Sure, I wish it looked better...

Skyrim represents the culmination of a long balancing act, of all Bethesda's learned and mastered about epic nonlinear play. It's a triumph of freeform design, less a roleplaying game like so many popular D&D-haunted others than a glimpse of what it might...
Abstract: Interview with Ray Lederer (Concept Artist)PS3, XBox 360 & Windows PCAfter drooling over the collector’s edition strategy guide, I open up my copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and dive into it headfirst. I quickly learn in the beginning of the game ...
Abstract: Welcome to CNET's updated rundown of the very best VR games right now. VR keeps changing, but many of its best classic games are still around. New titles are emerging to push new boundaries, too...
Well written plot, Highly interactive world, Detailed role-playing
Awkward controls, Outdated graphics
Good if you want to play on the go.Even though The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a great game and the Switch is an amazing platform, our advice is only to buy Skyrim for the Switch if you're looking to play on the go. Otherwise, we'd suggest purchasing Skyri...

Multiple control schemes for all comfort levels, Unofficial mod support works well, No VR game is larger or more complete than this, Freedom of an Elder Scrolls game, but in VR, Immersion and scale is pretty impressive
Menus are pancake versions floating in space, Interaction elements (conversations, objects) are button presses, Some ugly textures without mods, The usual Skyrim level of bugs
I'm going to do something I don't normally do, and score the game based on what's here, but also what's possible. With mods, this game is gorgeous, and you can trick out just about any aspect of the experience, though the menus and overall object interact...

Abstract: Since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 's original launch in 2011, I've explored, quested, and replayed the game more times than I can count across multiple platforms. Hiking up the steps to Bleak Falls Barrow has become routine, an overly familiar, incognizan...
