The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition Reviews
I have to be honest, for a first play through, I didn’t expect to clock the 80+ hours in the game, I haven’t been this invested in a game for a long time, and it has been such a nice change of pace to be engrossed in just one game and play through it. However saying that, there is no excuse for the glitches and problems that are in the game. Skyrim gets an 8/10.
I am torn. A part of me is enjoying reliving through Skyrim and making different choices this time around. However every time I bump into an old bug or the game crashes on me, I sigh and the whole thing seems a lot cheaper. Why are all the listed changes to the game cosmetic improvements to lighting? It leaves a slight taste of making a quick buck while everyone waits for Elder Scrolls VI.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is an opportunity for gamers who don't own an Elder Scrolls game to lay claim to the best in the series. For others, this Special Edition offers the chance to relive some of the best open-world adventuring ever seen. Other than audio issues and some slightly odd-looking NPCs, this is a remaster tour de force.
Skyrim Special Edition is a solid purchase for anyone introduced to the game through the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. PC players should give longer pause before playing, however, as they've probably already made their own "Special Edition" with the aid of mods – and some of those mods might not even work in the Special Edition. In the end, your decision should come down to how much you love Skyrim's ambition, how much you enjoy exploring its expansive world, and how tolerant you are towards its flaws.
Die Skyrim Special Edition fällt leider doch deutlich schlechter als erwartet aus und bietet selbst für Besitzer der PS3 Version nur marginale Verbesserungen. PS4 Besitzer erhalten zusätzlich einen stark eingeschränkten Mod-Support, der aber zumindest hilfreiche Mods bietet, die euch das Spiel erleichtern oder zusätzlichen Content liefern. Wer noch die Erweiterungen von Skyrim nachholen will, oder bisher noch nicht Skyrim gespielt hat, kann hier ohne Bedenken zugreifen. Für den Rest lohnt sich der Umstieg leider kaum. Es bleiben wenige Argumente die den Vollpreis für diese Version rechtfertigen würden.
