Unsurprisingly, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition is no different. Without question, it was a streamlined experience – something that didn't sit well with many long-time fans – but at the same time, it managed to retain that magical, immersive feeling that's always at the heart of a Bethesda-made game world.
In many ways, developer Bethesda Game Studios had cracked it – Skyrim carefully walked the line between being an accessible action RPG and, well, a typical Elder Scrolls title. When it first arrived in 2011, it's no exaggeration to say that the last-gen version introduced a whole new audience to the genre.
Like it or not, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim remains a landmark role-playing game.
