Critic Reviews
- I’ve put another 30 hours into Skyrim thanks to its Switch 2 port and while it’s not the best way to play Bethesda’s role-playing giant, you can do a lot worse
Rhys Wood · Jan 17, 2026 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full review - Skyrim on Switch 2 compromises playability while trying to compete with PS5 and Xbox versions of the games in terms of visuals.
· Jan 13, 2026 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full review - FAIR While having a native version of Skyrim on Switch 2 is great, and it being a free update is commendable, there are several major compromises that hold this version back.
Pramath · Dec 15, 2025 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full review - Though it doesn’t totally get away from its 2011 origins, Skyrim Anniversary Edition on Switch 2 is definitely a better-looking rendition of Bethesda’s classic for the handheld.
Dom Leighton · Dec 11, 2025 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full review - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is less about embarking on something new and more about happily re-living some wonderful, past moments. It was a great game then, and, even 10 years later, it’s still a great game—made even better by the bundle of Creation Club DLCs thrown into the mix.
Kenny McKee · Nov 29, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Despite the little tangent above, I'm thoroughly enjoying my revisit to Skyrim, and am exploring a lot more than I did the first time. The first mod I'll download will be 21:9 support so I can stop playing with the whole game at the far left of my screen, making me feel like I'm walking sideways with my setup, or having everything stretched and fuzzy but centred. The next will be some nice UHD foilage. Maybe I'll run around with an AK-47 or learn to fly? Who knows?
Thomas Mikkelsen · Nov 25, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Just don’t expect a graphical facelift. For console gamers without any experience of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at all, the Anniversary Edition is definitely the version to pick up. With the Elder Scrolls VI in production, the Anniversary Edition is most likely (and hopefully) the final version of a seriously aging but still viable classic RPG.
Mark Steighner · Nov 23, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Anniversary Edition is a fun add-on for Skyrim fans. Including plenty of Creation Club content and some new quests will be enough for most players to be happy. Depending on how if you’ve played the game before, new official DLC is a big reason to upgrade too. Survival Mode is a bit of a misfire but other than that, this is an appealing package even if it doesn’t quite set the world on fire with essential content.
Jen Allen · Nov 22, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Skyrim: Anniversary Edition is full of lackluster additions to a fantastic game. Some new areas are blocked off, quests feel like busy work, and the new items aren’t all that useful. The best parts are already in a free update, so stick with that.
David Flynn · Nov 21, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The mere existence of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition might be a joke to some, but the bigger joke would be saying this isn’t still one hell of an immersive RPG. Sure, the addition of mods doesn’t exactly make this version an absolute must-have and its pricing and pre-release marketing campaigns haven’t helped it at all, but it’s still Skyrim. It’s still a great game, with a handful of quality of life improvements. Ready to waste another hundred hours of your life killing dragons and stealing cutlery from strangers?
