When I last played Skyrim a few years ago on xBox 360 I ended with over 500 hours invested into the game. It was the only video game that I had no regrets putting that much time into and it will now be the only game that I have no second guesses about doing it all over again with this xBox One remastered.

Wanted to get this game on the 360 when it came out but never had the opportunity so I jumped at the chance to buy it on the Xbox One. Great game, now I understand why people loved it on the 360. Haven't noticed too many bugs, just the ones you see in Elder Scroll's games and Fallout but nothing game breaking.

My son's favorite game

This purchase was an afterthought because we bought an Xbox One bundle for Christmas. I got a couple of games for each kid. As it turned out, Elder Scrolls V has turned out to be my older son's favorite game. It took him some time to figure things out -- he needed his laptop next to him to search for help. But once he got going, he would play for hours. Not as loud as Star Wars, Battlefield or Call of Duty, but very engaging for someone who likes fantasy worlds. If you have an impatient gamer who likes immediate action, this might not be the game for him or her.

OK, This is another one I didn't purchase for myself. I actually own the one for the PS3 so I can comment on this one. One of the best open world games I have played. Great to have if you are single. If you aren't, don't worry, you soon will be. I recommend signing up for the BestBuy Gamer's Club Unlocked for $30. Between the 2 boys and myself, I have saved about 5-10 times in that easy with the purchases I have made. Don't know what that is? Search it on the BestBuy page.
Back to the game...sorry for digressing.
Great graphics, immersive world. Still fun to play.

I loved the first edition, but they just upgraded the graphics and now we can use Add-ons! I would recommend it if you never played it or if you loved it.

Graphics are a great upgrade, plus the background depth is smooth. No issues or hiccups plus the added feature of mods makes the game funn-er to play.

I owned this game for the Xbox360 and loved it. I still love it...but wanted to see the difference and play the mods on the Xbox One so I bought it again. The game scenery is much crisper and the land more decorative. Game play is the same as the Xbox 360 version...so no different there. The difference is the availability of mods from creative lovers of the game. The many opportunities to remake your character, make different decisions, try different armor, and bring in mods that extend gameplay provide endless hours of gaming entertainment.

Still an awesome game after all these years with improved graphics and with the additions of mods. Way more mods for Xbox One than on PS4.

There is a reason this game still sells even after 5 years of release. Great story, funny bugs and a big open world.

Brings Skyrim back with updated graphics. Still think some PC mods look better though.

Absolutely love this game to begin with. This game for the Xbox One over the PS4 is a no brainer. You can use so many more mods and there were a TON of mods ready at launch. There are tons of new mods that come available every time I play it so it will be awesome to see what this game can turn into.

This game was a great RPG on the 360 and now the remastered One version is nice. The Mods make this game a must buy on the Xbox one.

This game is fairly great, aside from the wildly incompetent AI. Not worth getting over the PC Version, but if you are a console user like me, this remaster has better graphics, all the dlc, and, finally, mod support. Mod Support is the greatest reason to get this remaster.

The Verdict

If you’ve never experienced Skyrim, the Special Edition is certainly an adventure you can’t afford to miss. It still includes many of the original version’s bugs, ugly character models, and weak combat animations, but the memorable world benefits hugely from improved lighting and effects. There's also some appeal here if you've played before and want to relive Skyrim with the current generation systems, but you'll be best served by picking up the Xbox One version over the PS4 because of superior mod support
