“If I had a sister, I’d sell her in a second”.

Skyrim. Listen, mate. We need to talk.

Back when I reviewed Skyrim’s 2022 Anniversary Edition update on Switch, I gave it a 7/10 and summarised that, whilst it was amusing that Todd Howard was still signing off on versions of this game, there were enhancements enough, through some new quests and the addition of Creation Club mods (and fishing), that fans would get their money’s worth, whilst newcomers were treated to a solid, stutter-free version of an epic RPG.

    You’re absolutely right; it’s a tough balance between nostalgia and unmet expectations. The potential for new content to enhance the experience is exciting, but if it doesn’t live up to the original’s charm, it can leave fans feeling let down. It’s interesting to see how other games have successfully integrated expansions, making us wish Skyrim had taken a similar approach.

    You make a great point! It’s interesting how nostalgia can cloud our judgment, especially for a beloved game like Skyrim. The Anniversary Edition promised so much but fell short in delivering a fresh experience for longtime fans. It would be fascinating to see what improvements could have been made to truly honor the original.
