The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Reviews
The mere existence of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition might be a joke to some, but the bigger joke would be saying this isn’t still one hell of an immersive RPG. Sure, the addition of mods doesn’t exactly make this version an absolute must-have and its pricing and pre-release marketing campaigns haven’t helped it at all, but it’s still Skyrim. It’s still a great game, with a handful of quality of life improvements.
Much like a real anniversary, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is less about embarking on something new and more about happily re-living some wonderful, past moments. It was a great game then, and, even 10 years later, it’s still a great game—made even better by the bundle of Creation Club DLCs thrown into the mix. Skyrim‘s been around for a long time, now, and, whether you like it or not, the Anniversary Edition shows that Skyrim has still got the ability to stick around for at least a little while longer (I’m sure we’ll get TESVI eventually, though!).
The total package can rightly be called impressive. The sheer amount of content can be overwhelming for those who have yet to get started on Skyrim.

It’s the kind of game that’s perfect to shut your brain off to and lose a couple of hours in. Its sense of place and intelligent content drip-feeding makes it addictive even in the face of its glaring flaws.
If you're looking for something significant new in the Skyrim Anniversary Edition, you will be disappointed; But the game itself is still a masterpiece after all these years.

Much like the plethora of faded 80’s/90’s popstars, Skyrim also doesn’t know when to quit. Over the years Bethesda’s open-world RPG has made its presence known on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation VR, PC, and the Nintendo Switch. Not content with letting sleeping Dragons lie – and to celebrate the title’s 10-year anniversary – Skyrim (re-branded as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition) is now available on Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5!
Ultimately, Skyrim Anniversary Edition offers more options for player choice. It’s the same core game we’ve been enjoying for 10 years but now with some new quality of life enhancements and a bunch of content that can be activated to modify the game. There are over 500 new elements that can be activated to tweak your experience. Some of the content may be for you and some won’t be, and that’s fine, you have the choice to use what you want.
