Vast
Vast world to explore
Dungeons and caves are wonderfully differentiated
Graphics and sound are for the most part incredible to behold
It's Skyrim
In VR
Most mods for the base game still work
Well written plot
Highly interactive world
Detailed role-playing
Superb visuals
Voice acting
Soundtrack
Enormous
Highly interactive game world
Provides almost limitless options for playing
Replaying
A revamped leveling system allows for more streamlined play
The graphics are out of this world for an Elder Scrolls game
And for any game of this type
The narrative is top of the line
And easily puts this in my GotY list
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?
Mayhem and wonder can lurk behind every bend
Every hill
And every mountain
Main quest line is an improvement from Oblivion
Dualwielding and Shouts make combat more fun
Enchanting
Making potions
And crafting weapons is easy
And for some
Likely quite enjoyable.
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.
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
The editors didn't like
Combat isn’t very visceral
And victories and losses feel unearned
Menus and interface are terrible
While the world is wide open
Most quests and dungeons are very linear
Bugs abound
Especially with physics
Carries over a lot of baggage from its non-VR roots
Uses the original 2011 visuals
Not the remaster's
Awkward controls
Outdated graphics
Some bugs
Quirky interfaces sometimes frustrating
No multiplayer mode
The combat mechanics can be somewhat off – especially when fighting brain dead AI
Your followers are just a brain dead as the enemies
Skills need to be weighted differently to make it more of an enjoyable experience
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.
Technical issues could ruin moments for some players
It's too easy to go into "sneak" mode when backing up with the control stick. I've been playing the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V
Skyrim on my home PC
Which has an Intel i7 950 processor running at 3.07 GHz with 6GB of RAM and two HD 5770 videocards running in Crossfire. After 34 hours of playing Skyrim
I've noticed a number of things
Glitches and bugs frequently disrupt the immersion
Friendly AI is often more of a hindrance than a help.
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: 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...

Massive open world, Many amazing stories, Tons of abilities and character creation options, Dragons
Noticeable clipping and other bugs
Yes. Even in 2017, playing Skyrim feels like going on a fantastic adventure. If you ever feel the urge to fight dragons or scour dungeons for treasure, you'll have a good time playing it.This game was originally reviewed on the Xbox 360 on a copy provided...
Its main campaign might peter out with a naff baddie, and the promised dragon-riding is deeply underwhelming, but that aside Dragonborn is bursting with new things to do and new sights to see in Skyrim.Tags:GamesBest prices todayRetailer Price Delivery P...
Abstract: Time for the first review of 2012 and what a way to start it with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Ever since it was announced this game has had so much pressure to come out on top. Being the sequel to the amazing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which is s...
Skyrim certainly draws a new line in the sand for RPGs moving forward, blending the accessibility of Fallout 3 with the depth and storytelling of Baldurs Gate. Mods and better visuals make the PC version the one to get.More Articles >>> ...
