Dragons return to the snowy northern province of Skyrim, and you are the Dragonborn, able to steal their souls and shout their words of power. It's a vast open-world RPG where you can be a warrior, mage, thief or anything in between. It's been rereleased so often it became a running joke.
Kit's verdict · 9.1/10
Endless freedom in a beautiful world, even if its combat and writing rarely go deep.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Huge, gorgeous world packed with dungeons
- Play any build you like
- Dragon fights and shouts feel epic
Not so much
- Combat is floaty and simple
- Bugs and glitches everywhere
Play it if anyone who loves exploring and making their own adventure.
Skip it if players who want tight combat or a focused, tightly written story.

Tips
Play it better
- Smithing levels fastest by crafting iron daggers from iron ingots and leather strips.
- Combine Alchemy, Enchanting and Smithing and you can build gear far stronger than anything you find.
- Sneak attacks with a bow do triple damage, and the Archery and Sneak combo is the easiest strong build.
- Use Unrelenting Force to knock enemies off cliffs, and Whirlwind Sprint to cross gaps.
- Your carry weight limit fills fast; dump junk and use a follower to haul extra loot.
- Head to the Standing Stones early to pick a stone that boosts your chosen skills.
- Join the College of Winterhold even as a warrior; its quests give useful magic and loot.
