Every game has a single over-riding requirement for its players. Some demand lightning-fast reflexes and the commitment it takes to master the depth of their controls. Others ask for a willingness to think outside the box or some degree of intelligence for puzzle solving. These are all attributes players will need if they hope to succeed in Skyrim. But the one asset players will need above all else is time.
The reason for this is that Skyrim is one of the most gargantuan undertakings that gamers will undoubtedly have to experience for last gen. The sheer size of the adventure, both in terms of its environment and in the amount of activities available to the player, is mind-blowing. I am loving this game.
This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The game's developer, Bethesda, has banked a rather lucrative existence on creating open-world RPGs that are filled to bursting with content. As with Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3 before it, Skyrim is a game that's easy to completely lose yourself in. The reason for this is two-fold. First, the game's production values work hard to immerse the player in Bethesda's sword and sorcery world. For a game of this size the quality of the graphics and the attention to detail is awe-inspiring.
As the player travels through Skyrim, they'll encounter dense woodlands, snow-capped mountains, majestic cities and crystal clear rivers that run throughout the map. They'll run into an assortment of interesting characters and battle myriad monsters along with a huge amount of side quests, play-how-you-want and unique NPC interaction
I have started to wiz through the deep, gritty world of Skyrim and you should too, but it is highly likely you already have done so. Tell us your experience, initial likes/dislikes or how long this open-world RPG could proceed into being one of the greatest of all time. I believe it will be along time until something will top this. Don't even get started about Witcher 3, meh..
