Skyrim
This is the most immersive, highest quality, and lore-rich game I've ever played. It's true what they say, you don't play Skyrim, you live another life in it. 😊

The trolls are loose again.
I played TES5 Skyrim a decade ago and it was a collection of bugs and down comings even back then. Mods are the only thing that keep this game alive and according to other sources, Bethesda removed the mod manager from the game?! If you consider buying it on GOG, look at what mess Bethesda produced the Wolfenstein releases. Memory leaks and crashes and years later, no update or fix. And for the trolls, look at how many +5 reviews came up in the minutes this title was released and how consequently negative reviews are downrated at GOG.

The best version of Skyrim that exists
DRM-free is wonderful! This GOG release is a wonderful thing for GOG to do, it's a perfect example of what makes GOG so great. I'm really enjoying GOG's release. Skyrim is obviously in the mid-to-low range in terms of Role Playing quality, but Bethesda still made it much more fun to play than most other RPG games. The combat system can be fun, but 10% skill-choice & strategy, 20% hack & slash and 70% obtaining new weapons/enchantments. Other cons: many worthless spells, a poorly implemented two-hand control system. Bethesda's combination of cheesy story, stupid characters and bad voice acting could have been worse, but I'm not sure how (I suggest that you, at various points in the main quest coversations, after you finish your Hard Cringe, save the game, then punch the character and reload). Oblivion was better in some ways, but less fun. Modding can only help so much... Game stability on Windows 7 or Windows 10 is excellent (some tweaks needed in Windows 7). The Steam version is less stable and takes more system resources. On multiple PCs and setups I've done testing and I can get GOG's latest version of Skyrim SE to run flawlessly without mods on Windows 7 or Windows 10. But I want mods. While DRM-free, modding was my reason for purchasing this game so I've removed 2 stars. (Bethesda's closed CK modding setup is really to blame, but that's a separate issue that I won't discount stars on this review for). Modding: There may be some tweaks I'll find to get more mods working, but after quite a lot of time and effort only about 10% of the SE mods that I have previously used can be made to work on GOG's version. A few important mods and tools that didn't work last year do work this year, fortunately. In comparison, the modding experience is way more diffficult than it was for Oblivion or Fallout 4 (I have 100% of my old mods working on those games using the version released by GOG). Hopefully this situation can be improved by some sort of compatibility patch or mod.

Step backwards
Number inflation that completely breaks their combat system, worthless spells, and a ridiculous double-handed control scheme that makes swapping spells/weapons a nightmare. Terrible story with even worse characters. The voice acting could not have been worse. I was expecting improvements over Oblivion, this was a huge step-backwards. Sadly, Morrowind was a deeply flawed game but still their best product to date.
