    Much like a real anniversary, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is less about embarking on something new and more about happily re-living some wonderful, past moments. It was a great game then, and, even 10 years later, it’s still a great game—made even better by the bundle of Creation Club DLCs thrown into the mix. Skyrim‘s been around for a long time, now, and, whether you like it or not, the Anniversary Edition shows that Skyrim has still got the ability to stick around for at least a little while longer (I’m sure we’ll get TESVI eventually, though!).

    If you wish to spend another lifetime on Skyrim, this is the best way to do it. The Anniversary Edition brings more than 500 new items, quests and mods in the never-ending Bethesda's RPG.

    It’s never too late to explore Skyrim for the first or the 100th time, and this version gives us yet another reason to go back to one of the best games ever made.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition continues to be exactly what makes Skyrim popular: a massive world to explore with tons of different ways to develop your Dragonborne. Outside of that, mods make an appearance and add a bit to the formula in their own way. Otherwise, this Skyrim is exactly as you remember, except it loads a bit faster and plays a lot smoother.

    Skyrim’s 10th anniversary edition is a rich and polished package, offering over hundred hours of top class RPG experience. If you never got the chance to play it back in 7th generation, now is the best time to do it.

    The performance upgrades make this a fantastic way to experience Skyrim for the first time, but slim content additions won’t enamour returning players. [Issue#9, p.76]

    What was once the pinnacle of its genre has become a bit of a joke as it releases again and again and again. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition adds very little that can’t be found in the 2016 Special Edition or is already free with Creation Club content. There is enjoyment to be had out of playing the game in the new survival mode and I still adore the base game. However, Skyrim just isn’t as strong when held up to modern standards, and it is the fault of Bethesda that this tired horse is now running a race with so many others that are leagues faster.

    Being able to play Skyrim on my PS5 with true 4K @ 60 FPS is a dream come true.

    Trust in Todd Howard. Believe in Todd Howard.

    I managed to grab it for 20$ while it was on sale. First time I actually bought Skyrim. Before this, I played it using... nefarious methods *wink wink*

    This Anniversary Edition marks the celebration of one of the greatest and most influential open-world Fantasy RPGs of all time. Just get it.

Elder Scrolls 6 was teased 5 YEARS AGO and it's been nothing but silence since.

    If the rest of the idiots buying the 46 versions of the game would stop needlessly and impulsively throwing money at Bethesda/Microsoft we might actually get the game we want instead of a repackaged 10 year old turd .They're similar to the morons that spend $2000 on a PS5 because they lack so little self control that they would rather support scalping than pay a normal price for a system... Do you people not realize you're enabling the same **** system you constantly **** about on Reddit?
