Elder Scroll 5:Skyrim Review

You look back at a time before this game comes out and what do you find to the best RPG game? Simple enough! CD Projekt's finest moment of their studio life, the release of Witcher 2. The Witcher 2 had defined the entire game genre with its gorgeous graphics, over the top gameplay and one of the best of the best presentation. Reviews keep on coming and most of them were very positive. It reaches no.1 on the RPG billboard. But their glory had to be shortcoming by the released of another RPG game from Bethesda Game Studios, Elder Scroll 5:Skyrem.

Wait! Did you just said you had sex with my wife?

You start the game and you find yourself captured and taking to a place where your head will be chop of its grass-rot body. Not a very good thing to start a game ehh? Before that, you get to choose many of the races in the skyrem world, your gender and customize your whole body. Minutes before your head pops off your body, this huge Dragon appear and save your head (not you, only your head). This is where your adventure starts to this tremendous world of skyrem. Believe me, its that huge.

Overall the graphics is good but not the likes of Battlefield 3's Frost Byte 2 engine. (Man! I had been spoiled by Battlefield 3 visuals.) Character model is very good but not perfect and it kinda resemble Witcher 2. But Elder Scroll 5 is not a bad looking game. Sometime you will sometime stop what you are doing and sit back to look back at  the beautiful world Bethesda Game Studios had made. It's soo good that you will actually feel you are in a different world. The weather effect is preety much impressive. I really like the snow condition. Believe me I feel chill just looking at them. The soundtrack is also awesome. It make you immersed into the Skyrem world.

You have my blessing! May you become a beast! 

Stealing stuff, doing quest, killing people and the undead alike, absorbing dragon souls, chit-chatting, selling and buying stuff and many more is what defines Skyrem. You have plethora of freedom to do anything you like. You can delay a main quest and do some side quest. To distract yourself from the fighting and all, you can go talk to the people and help them with their stuff and you will be rewarded. There was so many side quest dat I actually delay the main quest by so many hours and hours. Choices also play a major gameplay. You can choose what you wanna fight with, what weapons you gonna choose, what clothes you should wear, what kinda people you should help, what magic you should use, choose what main mission you want to do first, everything you can do in a video game you can do here. This is what I called True Democracy.

OMG! So ghost do exist.

Combat is a really simple affair but heavily contented. Based on your choice of weapon, you get to used it against your enemy whether you want to used magic or the traditional sword weapon tradition or both. Its a hack and slash for the traditional weapon. But a bit disappointing thing about the combat is that i feel like i am slashing through the air instead of the enemy. Nevertheless, its fun and simple. You have 3 slots in your game HUD. One for the magic, one for the lifeline and one for the stamina. You get to used the stamina while using special attacks and sprinting. One very commendable feature of Skyrim is you get to choose to used the first person view or the third person view anytime you want and they are very useful in different conditions. Leveling up is pretty simple and slick. You have tremendous freedom to choose in what field you want to improve upon. You could get to improve upon your conversation skill to convince people or increase your armor level or your magic and many more.

Look you stupid animal! I can hold the sun in my hand!

Sometimes it takes your intelligence to play your part in the game. Like in combat, where you fight a dragon and let your enemies fight it and let you gave em the final blow. Sometimes you will be overwhelmed by enemies and enemies alike, its best you put your skirt up and run. Thinking you are being brave and taking on the waves of enemies aren't that intelligence.


Skyrim is a very large game. Even with 100 hours of gamplay, you still have many side quest to indulge in, weapons to unlock, armor to find, people to talk to, etc. For ever you know, you will be spending hell of a time in this game.

Gorgeous world of Skyrem

On the bad side, there are bugs that you will come across in the game. Someone hit you and you fly high above the sky. Really! What the f*** was that? And animals appearing out of nowhere unless they have their own portal or something. Sometimes you don't get horses and you have to cross long distance by foot and it take hell of a time. You know what? Even if you get a horse, it's definitely slow (not like Assassin Creed's horses if you know what i mean). But this things aren't enough to spoil your experience.

Skyrem is a game where you taste the sweetness of freedom. You get to do anything you want, added with great graphics, slick and simple interference, awesome soundtrack, great combat system and more.It may not be perfect but its pretty closed to that. Skyrem with its plethora of content in its simple package makes it one of the Best RPG game ever.
