The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Reviews
It is still janky, occasionally ugly, and featuring some inexcusable bugs, but the core game is so good, so damn immersive and entertaining, you will keep on playing it for hours on end. It’s an updated and (ever so slightly) improved way to experience a classic RPG that doesn’t feel like it’s already 19 years old. Grab an axe, improve your charisma stats, completely ignore the plot and the urgency behind the main critical path, and immerse yourself in the land of Cyrodiil.
Oblivion Remastered is a stunning visual reimagining powered by Unreal Engine 5, faithfully preserving the soul of the 2006 classic. Beyond a few tweaks, it’s a nostalgic illusion of modernity, more a loving restoration than a reinvention, with all the strengths and quirks of the original intact.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is the best remaster of Oblivion that fans could ask for. The spirit of the original is held intact and delivered with amazing new visuals and slight gameplay improvements; just beware the occasional performance issues, and remember that the improved gameplay is still 19 years old.
About as good as a graphical remake and gameplay remaster can be, for an all-time classic.
