The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review

By Nicholas Tan

  • Elegant and rich open-world game design
  • Dragons and Shouts
  • Accessible stats and crafting system
  • Deftly handles multiple combat systems
  • Dual-wielding weapons and spells
  • Constellation skill system
  • Majestic landscapes, orchestral soundscapes
  • Nearly endless value and content
  • Lack of companion control
  • NPCs can repeat dialogue too much
  • Quests can be too linear
  • Just shy of an 'A+'
