Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2016

Anyone who's a fan of the series need no confirmation that the game is amazing. Anyone who is new to the series: if you love adventure, melee/sorcery, lore, and customization, this game is amazing. This is not my reason for the review or my score...

I own all current generation systems including the PSVR and the PS4 is my primary system in which I also own a copy of this game. This game is just as great on the PS4, however, I was let down by Sony's restrictions on modding so I purchased the XboxOne version for just that.

If you have completed the main game and delved into the side quest to know this game in and out, I recommend the XB1 version for modding. It added a whole new dimension of gameplay for me. I'm not a PC gamer so this is the closest I've ever gotten to experience modding.

The XB1 version makes modding easy: just click to download. From graphical overhauls and cheats, to user created armor, weapons, missions, and locations previously non-existent in the original game, mods are the primary Eason why I purchased the XB1 copy and why I give it 5 stars...

...I will soon purchase a copy of Fallout 4 for he XB1 for the same reason.

If Bethesda would have given me the option to choose which DLC to load and when I could load it, then this review would have been 5 stars. I'm out $60 on a game I refuse to play until I am able to decide wether or not I want to play the DLC, if I want to play it at all.

Definitive way to play

The Elder Scrolls V skyrim, is one of the best games ever made. With the Xbox one version it is so much better than that of the original. It has shorter load times and generally run significantly better. Not to mention the graphics upgrade. The only gripe I have is it might be not worth your money. Especially if you have beaten it, or if you still have a copy. For me I lost my copy so it was well worth its asking price. The game comes with all expansions and is well over 100+ hours. I suggest you wait for a price drop if you already have this game before upgrading. Overall this is really the definitive way to play

I've played this game on PS3 and now Xbox One. This makes my sixth playthrough, and each time it's been a different experience. Ultimate replayability. I've included a few screenshots I've taken.

The improved graphics and the addition of mods rekindled my love for this game. If you calculate the value of a game by hours per dollar ratio, you'll realize this game is a steal. Highly recommended.

Great game, I gave this another run on the xbox one and don't regret rebuying the same game for the new generation console. Comes with all the DLCs and has Mod support!

Absolute must for first-time players and definitive (console) version of the game

I bought this game on a Black Friday sale for $35 and for the price, this remaster is a great value. Pre-ordered the original back in 2011 so needless to say, I'm a big fan of Bethesda. The Xbox One remaster has considerable upgrades to load time, and just generally runs more smoothly than the original 360 game (though it is still a Bethesda game so make sure you download the Unofficial Skyrim Patch mod for general bugs/glitch fixes). Speaking of mods, although the Xbox One is limited to 4GB I found that this size is more than enough for most mods. They add a lot of fun user-created content that can keep you occupied long after you are done with the games main content. The only reason I left off a star is because for a $60 retail price, I would have liked to see Bethesda do a little bit more work on improving the game play and graphics. Although the draw distances are improved and the lighting looks incredible, character models and textures still look pretty dated. Mods help in this regard but it would have been nice to see the team behind this game do it themselves, as well as creating really any additional content not included in the original game and DLC. As someone who has played the old game for years, a $60 price tag is a little steep for me. However, for anyone who has never played this game before I highly recommend you get this game and experience what it has to offer.

I bought this game on Amazon for digital download, because the price is less than my local game stores. Skyrim is a modern classic to me, and well worth the retail price, even all these years later.

still has some weird bugs, mods help though. Obviously a classic game, you can put hundreds of hours into the game and play however you'd like to.
