The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Reviews
Oblivion makes a return to the spotlight after decades of Skyrim hogging it… Wait… Why am I on a cart? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is as much of a must-play title as the original, the easiest title to recommend to any gamer.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is everything a fan could want and an excellent primer on what makes the series so magical.
Oblivion Remastered is undoubtedly a beautiful visual update of the classic. At the same time, the game hasn't got rid of its old flaws. NPCs still act like they're caught in a time trap, frozen in the time of the original. Bugs and technical issues are still a part of this world, which certainly detracts from the overall impression of the update.
A remaster can only make a 20-year old game so modern without becoming a remake. Oblivion Remastered makes the old game beautiful, far less clunky, but it's still the old game at its core.
Where the flank is exposed to more problems is on the technical front . We relived Cyrodill on PC and evidently Unreal Engine 5 was more difficult to manage than expected.

There is no mistaking Oblivion for what it truly is: an early PS360 game from 2006 wearing an Unreal 5 skinsuit. If you already love Oblivion, then you will adore Oblivion Remastered since it is a new way to experience a legitimate classic of its era. There are a scant few extra surprises tucked away, but this is the same game you know and love… for better and for worse.
The world of Oblivion alone is a perfect recreation of the Dungeons & Dragons descents into hell from my tabletop days, and I had such a rush of nostalgia playing that through again. It has made me feel old to reflect on the fact that it’s a 20-year-old game and I swear I remember playing it new like it was yesterday, and nostalgia always comes with some rose-tinted glasses, but yes, I haven’t minded having the opportunity and excuse to play this again at all.
It is great to see the game that innovated many of the systems we know in modern Western RPGs being brought to the current generation systems; while looking stunning thanks to the new graphics. But this beautiful image is tainted with the bugs and technical problems

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is an excellent stopgap until The Elder Scrolls VI hits the scene. New players and fans alike shouldn't hesitate to visit Cyrodiil.
Still flawed and even with some wasted opportunities, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is an excellent opportunity for old fans to enjoy the game in the best possible way and serves as a great first step for newcomers.

It's rare for a game to deliver the same mind-blowing impact two decades apart, but The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered pulls it off effortlessly. While the core gameplay remains unchanged, it's just as engaging and relevant in 2025 as in 2006-proof of how ahead of its time Oblivion truly was. The visuals, however, have been completely overhauled with Unreal Engine 5, giving the game a stunning new identity that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of the current ninth-generation titles. Oblivion is how you make a game, and Oblivion Remastered is how you remaster it.

A remaster of one of the best games in The Elder Scrolls series has arrived like a bolt from the blue. The fiery gates of Oblivion have reopened and look better than ever. But some of the flaws of the past remain.

Some minor technical issues aside, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is everything a fan of the series could ask for, whilst also giving newcomers the best version of the game.
The score refers only to the quality of the remaster and technical condition. Oblivion itself is still an outstanding RPG, but the PS5 version needs a lot of patches to start working properly. Well, and it's a shame that there are basically no differences between the edition for the regular PS5 and the PS5 Pro. The quality mode is useless, and the game dumping to the main menu is some kind of unpleasant joke. I will point out, however, that when everything works well, the game plays wonderfully, and the quality of the visuals can sometimes literally “blow you out of your slippers.”

Not flawless, yet a decent remaster that doesn't change the fundamentals of a classic game, still adds so much-needed gameplay and quality of life improvements.

Returning to Cyrodiil is a delight. Oblivion Remastered takes everything Bethesda did right in the fourth chapter of The Elder Scrolls and updates it to make it as enjoyable today as we enjoyed it almost 20 years ago. Faster load times, a redrawn world for increased visual impact, new lines of dialogue and gameplay improvements are the foundation of a very powerful experience that includes all expansions and DLC for hundreds of hours of enjoyment in Cyrodiil, Oblivion and the Realm of Madness.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is the best version of one of the greatest classics in the genre. Even with some dated elements in the remaster, it remains a top-tier RPG and a true masterclass in how to properly remaster a great game. It preserves the core essence of the original while adding extra “flavor” and “crunch” in key areas.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered no es solo un homenaje a uno de los pilares del rol moderno, sino una auténtica resurrección de un clásico que vuelve a brillar con luz propia. En una industria donde los remasters suelen limitarse a simples filtros visuales, esta versión va mucho más allá: reconstruye, respeta y renueva con inteligencia. Volver a Cyrodiil es redescubrir una tierra viva, vibrante, que nos llama a escribir nuestra propia leyenda entre espadas, conjuros y decisiones morales que resuenan más allá de cada partida. Esta es una segunda oportunidad para los veteranos de revivir una epopeya inolvidable, y una puerta de entrada majestuosa para quienes nunca caminaron por las tierras del Imperio. Oblivion Remastered es, en esencia, una oda al espíritu del aventurero que todos llevamos dentro. Aquí no solo jugamos un juego: forjamos una historia, y esta vez, se ve y se siente mejor que nunca.
