My The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim review

The positives

+The best gaming world of any game ever, one that is also beautiful and feels alive
+Diverse builds
+Really replayable
+A ridiculous amount of content, although not all of it is very well made
+Fantastic mods
+The best gameplay mechanics of any game, ever
+Unbelievably good soundtrack
+Second best exploration of any game ever, only surpassed by Elden Ring
+Lots of diverse activities
+Excellent level design in some places, almost FromSoftware level
+Great progression
+Amazing atmosphere
+Very immersive
+Fantastic DLCs

The negatives

-Combat is very lacking and boring with almost all builds
-The main story is way too short
-Animations are very lacking, though that's more acceptable for a 2011 game
-The voice acting is mostly below average and the sheer amount of recycled voice actors only adds to this issue
-The game is still very buggy
-Too many mindless fetch quests
-Movement is pretty bad
-AI is absolute garbage
-The world feels too small and the cities feel underwhelming. The cities are small in size and there are too few inhabitants
-The shouts are not very interesting to use due to their cooldowns, which makes them bad rewards from exploration
-The money system doesn't work very well

Score: 9.2/10
