Although it debuted in 2013, this legendary reboot of the series still looks and plays beautifully in 2025. If you’re diving in now, the game’s pacing, exploration and combat remain as engaging as ever.
This guide is created for those who are uncertain or don’t know what to upgrade first - below I share my personal opinion and recommendations on skill progression.
