One of the most influential open-world RPGs ever made, still drawing near-unanimous recent reviews nearly a decade after this remaster's release — but its negative sample is dominated almost entirely by a specific, well-documented grievance: Bethesda repeatedly breaking the mod ecosystem with forced updates while reintroducing paid mods, and delisting the original game from Steam search in the process.
8.5 / 10
Fifteen years on, Skyrim's open world is still the reason people play it — walk in any direction and something is there. The systems underneath that world, from swordplay to loot to the dialogue tree, have aged a lot less gracefully, and Bethesda has spent a decade finding new ways to resell the same game. Reviewed as Skyrim Special Edition, the version Steam actually sells you today.
8 / 10
Bethesda's sprawling open-world RPG has weathered two separate, nearly identical controversies seven years apart — Creation Club's paid mods in 2017, and a 2024 "next-gen update" that broke almost everything the modding community had built to fix it.
7.5 / 10
A landmark, hugely influential post-apocalyptic RPG once it's running — but this review's negative sample is dominated by a specific, still-unresolved problem: reviewers across nearly a decade, including as recently as mid-2026, report the Steam version simply refusing to launch on modern Windows without third-party fixes, years after Bethesda removed the old Games for Windows Live requirement.
7 / 10
The clearest case in this library of a Steam score that has become a historical document — a Mixed badge earned in 2023 sitting on top of a game that, three years and a flight update later, its current players mostly recommend.
6.5 / 10
Gaming's most famous redemption arc went into reverse — negative reviews fell to five in 2023, then spiked to thirty-one in 2025, and the players writing them have two thousand hours each and one complaint: the subscription.
