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

Intensely detailed and nuanced environments
Excellent character development system
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: As incredible as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was in 2006, it hasn't aged well. While it's still capable of hooking players into tens of hours of questing, it looks terrible, it crashes periodically, its load times are excruciating, and its combat is...
Abstract: With other Bethesda role-playing games I've often fallen into the trap of pursuing side quests to buff up my character and to help fill-out the universe in my own mind. What often happens then is that I suddenly have what feels like too many quests i...
Superb visuals, voice acting, soundtrack, Enormous, highly interactive game world, Provides almost limitless options for playing, replaying,
Some bugs, Quirky interfaces sometimes frustrating, No multiplayer mode,
Building on the advances of the previous games in the landmark Elder Scrolls series, the latest chapter, Skyrim, is the most detailed, immersive, and engrossing yet. ...

Incredible amount of content; world feels alive; more than enough improvements to the Bethesda RPG formula; engaging quests; great new leveling and combat system; did we mention the content?
Interface is gamepad friendly; does little to take advantage of the PC platform besides the improved visuals; companions are still dumb as a bag of rocks.
It's great to hear that Skyrim has lived up to all of its potential and more. Personally, I can't wait for the mod community to get their hands on the game and start crafting out even more content. This is a great time to be a PC gamer for sure...
Abstract: Yes. Taking place about 200 years after the events of Oblivion, players are now thrust into the lands of Skyrim. On the verge of meeting their doom, players soon find out that Dragons are no longer just beasts of myth, and the player isn't just anothe...

Abstract: The province of Skyrim might be frigid, but the role-playing game that takes place within it burns with a fire few games possess. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you take up arms against dragons, and your encounters with them are invariably exciting--...
It's difficult to ever feel completely satisfied with a play session of Skyrim. There's always one more pressing quest, one more unexplored tract of land, one more skill to increase, one more butterfly to catch. It's a mesmerizing game that draws you i...
Immense world stuffed with varied tasks to perform, Dragon battles are a blast, Lovely art design capped by some beautiful, atmospheric touches, Enjoyable battles that you can approach in a variety of ways, Lots of compelling, selfcontained stories to experience in addition to the main one.
Glitches and bugs frequently disrupt the immersion, Friendly AI is often more of a hindrance than a help.

Abstract: Are you sitting there cuddling your RTX 2080 Ti, your flagship Ryzen or Intel CPU and your stunning 4K monitor? Are you then also waking up in a cold sweat at the realisation you have none of those things? I feel for you, we've all got to start our PC gam...
