Skyrim is the best Elder Scrolls game so far, with the expansions it has gotten even better. I felt that ESIII: Morrowind brought more to the table for its time than ESIV: Oblivion but believe this game has done even more. I have enjoyed it on console, on PC and gone through the DLC which is worth the extra cash. The only thing missing is co-op/multi player but Elder Scrolls Online is running now, although I wish they would have done things a little differently on that game.. Even if your not an Elder Scrolls fan or follower the game is a nice play as it allows you to customize yourself and play in many styles to allow a change up. I did have a few technical issues following the main quest line but just shifted to side quests and other things until I found out how to fix my save. They could have done a little better on updating to debug some of the common issues or allowed a form of abandoning quests to reset them. Overall I'd say 9.5/10 for what it is as I can't complain about missing features that just weren't supposed to be in the game although I think they coulda just put out a co-op patch/expansion to allow us to play with 1 friend or something which would have enhanced the gameplay alot and expanded the games popularity.

It's still the same Skyrim with the same DLC. The differences are not that obvious at first: being able to sort your save files by character, some lighting changes, some slight graphical improvements, better looking water, Bethesda.net integration for mods, and an overall more stable 64 bit game. If you can choose between the legendary and special editions, take the special edition. However, you'll still get the same game in a better wrapper.

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!
