This is such an incredible game. It has its advantages and disadvantages compared with Skyrim. See my review on Skyrim to see list of flaws.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion review

Posted : 11 years, 6 months ago on 30 October 2012 10:44

This game is the very best of its kind that I've ever played. The graphics and physics are stunning - even the night sky has recognisable constellations that slowly creep around and shift with the seasons.

It's basically an adventure game with some scrapping, puzzle solving, charming others into your way of thinking, collecting herbs and mushrooms to concoct potions, buying, stealing, selling things that you find ... it goes on. And on. And on.

There is so much to this game that it's a joy to play and seems like it would never end - indeed for me it still hasn't. The realism of the visuals is so well crafted that when roaming around in the damp dungeons I could almost smell the muskiness. Romping around the meadows amongst the butterflies I could smell the fragrant blossoms. Scrapping with imperial soldiers I could smell the metal of clashing swords.

And the music. This is one of the few games that the music does not grate after the n-teenth repetition. Jeremy Soule composed the soundtrack and it is top-notch superb quality. If you're bedridden or housebound for some reason and it will be some time before you recover, this is a very pleasant way to while away the time. Don't forget to break for meals!

Evil (but in a good way)

An incredibly evil game that involves keeping track of grains of sand in your pockets and crawling about forest floors picking berries.

And yet, for some reason, you actually want to do these things. In between pwning goblins and traveling to alternate universes to battle demons that is. It's incredibly addicting and fun. I'm going to take this rental back to the store and NEVER NEVER rent or buy this game again lest I never see daylight again.

Additional note: Some parts of this game are actually fairly scary and gory and disturbing, not for the kids.
