Appreciation Post

To this absolute monster of a game. The Elder Scrolls V, Skyrim. Whilst not so much retro, it is getting on in years now though at nearly 10 years old. With a new release on the horizon, only a month away for the next gen of consoles, as an anniversary edition including many community mods that hadn’t made it to the console versions.

No other game can say it’s been re-released as many times as this. And more importantly sold so consistently each time. I imagine soon enough it’ll be playable on your electric toothbrush, because why the fuck not. And to be completely honest even as im playing this game again currently, I’ll more than likely still pick up the new edition, as I am clearly very weak, and I’m the type of person Bethesda and Todd Howard clearly love.

Not many games can boast the replayability of this game, which for me is one of the biggest highlights of it. Many say it’s not as good as Oblivion or Morrowind and to a point I’d even agree. However it doesn’t stop me playing it countless times. My current run clocks nearly 35 hours on the switch version, and it is not looking like it’ll be over any time soon. I’m positive I’ll be writing about this behemoth RPG game many more times yet, even sooner with the chance of playing it on the PS5.
