The roof of the world, dragons resurfacing, and still that arrow to the knee.

Here is a result that clashes with the legend. On gut feeling, the community places it at the very bottom, ahead of barely 6% of games, and on an already significant number of votes. The detail stays tame: it does best as a desert island pick, around average, but attachment, fun, and art style fall low. Hard not to read a form of weariness in it: this Anniversary Edition is the umpteenth re-release of a 2011 game, and the community seems to judge it with less indulgence than its reputation would suggest.

Next to other open world role playing games, Skyrim remains a monument of freedom, but this verdict suggests its formula may have aged a little in the eyes of today's players.

So, who is it for? For you if you like to lose hundreds of hours in a world you shape. Much less if you already gave a lot to its many versions.
