Edit:
They fixed A-life2, still missing features from the original games like PDA messages from other stalkers, and binoculars. But feels like its on the right track, still would recommend buying at discount for time being

Original Review:
Bugs, Balancing and and performance issues aside (These can be patched out), there feels like a fundamental issue with the A-Life2 system (AI system). They claim it to be a living breathing world where the AI exists outside of the players presence but gameplay shows this just isn't the case, AI instead spawn in a radius around the player like a far cry game or the police from the bugged launch of Cyberpunk 2077.

While mods and patches can fix a lot of the surface level issues, I feel this decision on the AI is a more fundamental gameplay mechanic that cant just simply be ironed out.

for now i would advise to buy on sale instead of paying full price.

No nonsense fun, reminds me of the greats from the late 2000's and early 2010's.

Don't make games like they used to

The snail is coming for you too...

I'm doing my part

Mediocre

If you're looking for an entry to racing sim's. Not a bad starting place

If you're looking for a game to be able to sink hundreds of hours into. Skyrim is the game for you. Whether you want to immerse yourself in the lore and backstory or just play for the RPG elements Skyrim will not dissapoint you.

Story : 10
This world is rich with lore and history. If you're the sorta guy who likes to delve into the lore and the universe of a game, Skyrim will not disappoint you.

Gameplay: 9
All though vanilla combat might be too easy for some. The joy of having it on PC means you can mod the **** out of it and adapt it to your playstyle.

Soundtrack: 10
Jeremy Soule... Nuff said

Replayability: 10
Just take a look at the hours i've put into the game and the hours of others who play Skyrim. Dont like the character you made? No problem, there's enough skill diversity to allow most styles of character. Mods also add to this.

Graphics: 7-10
The reason i've given 2 figures for this is simply because of mods. If you wanna download gigabytes of texture replacers and install an ENB mod to upset your graphics card then this game could stand up to graphically beautiful games like the Witcher 3. However the vanilla graphics are still amazing at ultra and if your machine isn't high end then you will be more than pleased with the default graphics.

Overall: 9.5/10
I have given skyrim a 9.5 out of 10 because this game is truly special to me and thousands of other people who immerse themselves in Nirn, Tamriel and the Elder Scrolls franchise as a whole. Like any massive open world RPG there's going to be bugs that might hinder some of the things you do and mechanics you might not think are for you but even so... mods *cough PCMR". Joking aside, buy this ******* game!
