8/10
If you’ve never experienced Skyrim, the Special Edition is certainly an adventure you can’t afford to miss.

4/5 stars
It’s showing its age and still suffers from the trademark Bethesda bugs, but The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is a good enough excuse to warrant a return trip or serve as an entry point to this massive game.

4.5/5 stars
A wonderful recreation of Skyrim, which remains - despite rough edges and badly-aged elements - one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

Missing languages compared to Steam
The translation is already there, why don't you just move all scripts here?

The King... of microwaved comfort food.
This game should be forever remembered as THE milestone video game industry - in spin doctor marketing and producing the ultimate fast food dish od the cRPG variety. It lures you in with it's superficial qualities, but offers no nutritional value - just a carefully measured amount of salt, sugar and fat. It fools only the least developed taste buds and people who eat with their eyes, while offering quick hunger-fixing slop. The most impressive part of this dish is the tray that it's served on, i.e. the game's world. Bethesda's world builders are (were?) among the best in the industry and up to a point (Starfield) it worked in every Bethesda game, Skyrim included. But once you get past it, there's nothing of value left. I don't know who coined the term "wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle" but it perfectly encapsulates this game in it's entirety. The only way I can explain this game's "legendary" status as an RPG is rose-tinted glasses of people who never played a good RPG before (and possibly after) Skyrim and they were most likely teenagers when they first got their hands on the game. Nothing wrong with that. If I had never read the entire Witcher saga and played all the games in the series, I too can see myself enjoying the Netflix series, not knowing any better without a point of reference. Same goes for Skyrim and every single Bethesda developed game after that. Truth is, it's barely an RPG, the story feels like it was written by a MySpace dwelling teenager and quest design is outright insulting, treating the player like a mentally deficient invalid. At so many points in the game you can see a glimmer of potential for something truly remarkable, just to get disillusioned 5 minutes later by being served microwaved food with no taste whatsoever. If you're looking for a "make your own adventure" sandbox, ignore the story, childish quest design and thousands of still unfixed bugs, Skyrim may just scratch that itch. Just install the unofficial community patch.
