    A wonderful recreation of Skyrim, which remains - despite rough edges and badly-aged elements - one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

    If you haven't touched Skyrim for a long time, or perhaps, somehow came in late and never played it before, then Skyrim Special Edition is an absolute treat.

    Game of a generation. I first played on PS3 back when it came out and was blown away. So I'm glad I got a second go on the PS4. Said I was going to be different character than my sneaky archer with flame magic....but I ended up doing the same thing again. And I still massively enjoyed it. There was so much to do, so much to see, so many side quests. I love side quests.

    it's always there in 'the best game of the decade' Skyrim is immersive, the story IS SO GOOD, Plus there's mod to make it more fun and addictive, i played hundreds of hours but still never complete the main story line. I keep restarting with different mods and explore the world. IT'S amazing. plus if you own Xbox GamePass you can try it for free.
