'Skyrim is what gaming stands for, according to us: Freedom. It’s amazing how the game’s score still holds up five years after its original release. Fighting against a dragon while an epic score is being played in the background really brings the entire atmosphere alive.
This is not due to game’s difficulty but the amount of stuff you can actually do in the game will easily distract you from playing the main campaign. You take on the role of Dovahkiin, the Dragonborn which instantly gives you powers like Dragon shouts, and you’re the only one that can free Skyrim from the Nordic Dragon, Alduin. The remaster brings back the same good old feeling…it almost felt like 2011 all over again.
Having sunk hundreds of hours in the original Skyrim, playing the remaster with the same amount of intrigue is just a testament to how addictive this game is. It’s quite amazing that almost five years have passed on since the original was released and yet Skyrim is regarded as the epitome of video game design and role playing mechanics. Bethesda have brought back one of their finest games of all time, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim on current generation consoles.
