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

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 more of a nostalgic return than a game that actively tries to win over new players, but if you haven’t played the original and you’re in the mood for a classic open-world RPG, it’s definitely worth a try.

Bethesda brings us an unexpected surprise with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, a remaster that feels like a remake that takes us back 20 years in time. We still have characters acting erratically, surreal dialogues, and some repetitive tasks. Still, the main victory of this installment is bringing a 20-year-old game to the present day, one that is very enjoyable beyond nostalgia.

An ambitious modernization that undeniably preserves the essence of the 2006 classic while introducing visual, gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements. Thanks to this —and despite even inheriting the original's flaws—Bethesda and Virtuos have delivered a smoother experience with a great set of accessibility options for new players.

Oblivion Remastered brings a Bethesda classic into the modern age with great success, while still retaining the core of what we all loved upon first adventuring across Cyrodiil many moons ago. Visually, it’s stunning, and creates a sense of immersion that just wasn’t possible on older hardware, and it speaks to the strength of Bethesda’s original work that all that was needed was a new lick of paint to leave Oblivion Remastered feeling like a wonderfully playable experience that I’ve loved dedicating hours of my life to all over again. The Elder Scrolls VI may be a while away yet, but for now, The Elder Scrolls VI fans rejoice, as you’ve now got a hell of a consolation prize to tide you over for the next few years.

We have a remaster of an already incredible title, now with renewed and beautiful visuals. Furthermore, the adventure remains phenomenal, the gameplay fun and full of freedom, the story interesting to follow, and the content vast and rewarding.

In my opinion, the title remains a milestone in the open-world RPG genre. Once you blow the dust off it, you'll find it rich in content, with hundreds of thousands of lines of dialogue, memorable quests and sub-quests, and timeless magic. Are you sure you want to enter? The offer also includes the story DLCs: Knights of the Nine and The Shivering Isles, offering a truly tempting package for anyone who wants to explore for the first time or return to drive the Daedric cult from the lands of Cyrodiil. One of the giants of the past is back with a new look, and I strongly believe that anyone who wants to delve deeper into the history of the genre finally has an unmissable opportunity to learn about, appreciate, and explore one of the most talked-about and formative titles of the past decades.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes the original 2006 release, improves on it by taking successful systems from Skyrim, and modernises the experience through UE5. It’s rare to see a remaster that has done more than simply slapping on a new coat of paint and a higher resolution. This remaster is an ode to the original, one that preserves its legacy.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a nostalgic dive into the history of video games, a perfect example of how the value of a work does not reside only in its modernity or technical cleanliness but above all in the heart and passion with which it was created. For those who loved the original or want to rediscover one of the highest moments of the Bethesda epos, this re-release remains an unmissable journey thanks to a renewed graphic design and small but precious QoL measures, as long as you are willing to turn a blind eye, at least for now, to a still uncertain stability.

A necessary revitalization of the 2006 classic, Oblivion Remastered brings impressive graphics and several positive changes. Unfortunately, the desire to keep the original material untouched overshadows the game’s full potential, and even some issues from the original release still persist to this day.
