The next chapter in the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls saga arrives from the makers of the 2006 and 2008 Games of the Year, Bethesda Game Studios. Skyrim reimagines and revolutionizes the open-world fantasy epic, bringing to life a complete virtual world open for you to explore any way you choose.
The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered. Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.

Awesome RPG!
Zharwyn | May 16, 2013 | See all Zharwyn's reviews »I love this game game. There is SO much to do! Skyrim was by far one of my favorite games of 2011. It's a beautiful game and with mods it can become even more stunning. The main story is interesting enough. It also has dragons. Lots of them.
I love to search all the nooks and crannies to make sure that I don’t miss anything of interest. In Skyrim I found myself straying far away from the main quest, many many times. After completing the main quest I still have a lot of things left to do in Skyrim on my main save. I have been tempted to create a new character and go a completely different route.
I’m sure I will have many more hours to enjoy in Skyrim as I tend to pick up the game once in a while and get lost in it. This is a game you can come back to time and time again and get lost in for hours and hours.
I picked up the collector’s edition when it was released and I haven’t regretted it once. Even though the game has a tremendous amount of bugs you find yourself looking past them a lot. The game is gorgeous and there are so many ways to shape your character, with modding for the PC, the possibilities are endless!

The mods are what makes it.
simpkinscm | May 15, 2013 | See all simpkinscm's reviews »The storyline of Skyrim is nothing new: ‘World is under attack, only you can save it.’ That is not to say that it isn’t done well. The story is engrossing and if you inclined, there are enough backstories to fill a library. These things alone would make this good; however, what makes this game amazing is the user-generated content and mods. Because of this, the game can essentially be changed to whatever you want it to be. Think potions are too heavy, make them lighter. Want to have a spell to summon a swarm of crabs, make it. Skyrim is an awesome game that will provide hours (possibly to many) of play time.

Best RPG So Far
adenyyh | May 15, 2013 | See all adenyyh's reviews »Bethesda has made many rpg games especially fallout and elder scrolls but the newest they had to offer is by far the best they had provided. The UI is simply amazing and the environment design is astonishing. Skyrim also has a lot of side quests which engages the player if he/she wants to sidetrack a little.

Perfect Sequel to Oblivion
gurkleton | May 15, 2013 | See all gurkleton's reviews »Skyrim really brought out what was good in Oblivion and polished it. Bethesda outdid themselves again. From exploring the new world, to completing an endless quantity of quests, the game will have you roaming all across the world of Skyrim, enjoying every second. Playing any variety of character will keep you entertained for dozens (if not hundreds) of hours. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone that's looking for a fantastic RPG or just wants to pass the time enjoyably.

Fantastic Story and open world game
maddocks2379 | May 13, 2013 | See all maddocks2379's reviews »Skyrim is the latest and greatest entry to the Elder Scrolls series, you are the dragonborn, the one who can master the arts of the dragon shouts and its your job to hunt and kill the leader of the dragons, Alduin.
Skyrim features some beautiful graphics and terrain. The Gameplay is much like Oblivion but fine-tuned (i bored of oblivion and never managed to finish it)
Skyrim is a beauty to play till the end
