It's the same Skyrim we all love and enjoy from 2011, the new features of this version of the game are the new and improve graphics that make the game prettier and shiny, More detail, and even the addition of god-rays light can make a new experience for some people. Now with the 64-bit arquitecture, the game can run better in some pc's and let the modding community to create better and bigger mods, at the cost of some minor bugs and glitches, but nothing that can't prevent you to play and enjoy the game. If you own the original game or the legendary edition, Skyrim Special Edition its a must have edition in your library that might come handy with the new mods incoming.

I think this game was a bit of a money grab to be honest. I, while I still do like it, and not 'satisfied' with it as such. What little has changed hasn't made such a massive difference to the game that it warrants paying over doubble the proce of the old game. Because I love Skyrim itself, I have to give it a strong 10/10, but as a NEW game - a remaster, I can't give it more than a 7/10 really. In my opinion, it's not good enough. However, I got it free because I owned all the content from the old game, so I am not too unhappy. If I'd paid for it I would be. If you've never played Skyrim before, and you're on console, this will appeal to you, and it would be worth it for you, perhaps, but I don't feel it brought anything new to the PC front. The modding community is still ahead of this game. Ultimatly though, I can't dislike it. It is (because it's Skyrim) an amazing game.

Skyrim was and still is one of the most incredible role-playing games of all time. It's insanely deep and immersive and I'm sure all of you have played it by now. If you haven't, however, perhaps this isn't the time to buy this yet. Don't get me wrong, I love the game and the new 64-bit engine brings a lot of stability, but for many people, mods are the only way to play, and many of the best mods for the original game haven't been ported yet. As of the time while writing this review, SKSE64 has not been released yet, and many of the greatest mods that come with that script extender wont be ported until it's released. So maybe stick with the original game for now if you're looking for mods. If you're fine with the base game and don't want to mess with mods until later then, sure, go for the Special Edition!

Skyrim is still to this day excellent game with great and huge world to explore and sink yourself into. Special Edition is slight improvement in graphics over the original and that's it - same old bugs with the introduction of many new, annoying ones that won't be fixed by developer. Also, it doesn't support mods from the original, so there is also a need to wait for those to be converted to this one. I can't justify this one for price as high as 30 pounds, especially since Legendary Edition is still playable and has better mod support from community. Grab it when on -50% sale if you didn't play original. If you don't care about graphics, pick up Legendary Edition instead.

Skyrim Special Edition is an enhanced version of the same game released five years ago, but with better graphics, not a bad concept because even though gamers who like to mess with mods could achieve the same or perhaps better effect this often result to game crashes. Now we can experience better without worrying about stability that mods can break. Good version for people who never played Skyrim before.
