After ten years and two generations of video games, Skyrim still remains one of the best games of all time and the new features are implemented very well but it is also starting to show its age. All in all, this is a nice reason to start another adventure as the Dragonborn and wait for the next big experience that Bethesda Game Studios is cooking for us.

Aimed at those who are yet to experience The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the first time, this Anniversary Edition offers exceptional value for money, and is easily the best way to jump into one of the best role-playing games ever made. It may not quite look current-gen, but the fast loading times and reduced storage footprint are both meaningful gains for PS5 players, while the included Creation Club content adds yet more meat to the game’s bones which are already heaped with flesh. For those that have already played Skyrim to exhaustion, however, there’s not much here to draw them back.

‎The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is an extremely enjoyable work, both for the world it presents, as well as its story, its setting and its gameplay. Even with the more than 500 packs of new content that this version brings, we still think that Bethesda could have done something much more special to celebrate such an important date.‎

Our beloved Skyrim certainly deserved better with the launch of the Anniversary Edition, the new re-release got some tech issues and close to no graphical improvement and sadly missed the change to update the game engine and make the project a full-fleshed remake, there's plenty of new content no doubt but unless you are highly interested in Creation Club content and don't mind it's not voice acted and feels like free mods, you may want to skip this one and hope for better treatment next time

Skyrim is back yet again, with a graphical makeover and new user generated content, but at full price even fans of brazen commercial cynicism will find their eyebrows quietly reaching for the sky.

The PC community's mind-blowing commitment to modding is something that Skyrim on consoles will never have, but if you just want to boot up your PlayStation and get lost in what is now a classic fantasy world, Skyrim Anniversary Edition is the best way to do it.

What was once the pinnacle of its genre has become a bit of a joke as it releases again and again and again. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition adds very little that can’t be found in the 2016 Special Edition or is already free with Creation Club content. There is enjoyment to be had out of playing the game in the new survival mode and I still adore the base game. However, Skyrim just isn’t as strong when held up to modern standards, and it is the fault of Bethesda that this tired horse is now running a race with so many others that are leagues faster.

‎The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition commemorates the tenth anniversary of one of the best games in history with even more content. It is so big that there will be those who can live without these additions, but for those who have never played it or want to dedicate another 500 hours to it, this is undoubtedly the most complete version to date.‎
