The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered

This is an old game from 2006 with new graphics and a slightly reworked interface. All the downsides that were in the original, they remained, the same auto-leveling and clumsy animation. In comparison with Skyrim, in terms of game quality and interest, Oblivion loses many times over. There is no user-friendly interface. Optimization problems. On my 5070 on ultra, I had to connect tensors cores to get to the desired 165 Hz monitor, and these floating FPS and problems with the shader cache ... oh yeah. Maximum enjoyment. Of the advantages, the quests are still interesting, a lot of magic. Mostly people 30+ like it, everyone younger, well, so-so. At the time of release, without improvements, it does not deserve higher than 5.0. Let's see what happens after the update ...

There is a problem with performance on the i9 13kf g4080 32. The design of the locations is overwhelming, the mobs are too big, the vegetation is so-so, the movements of the city and the bots are terrible. There are a lot of unpleasant moments in the gameplay, animation and graphics. The game clearly needs improvement and its price is 1000 rubles

A magnificent $50 triumph of laziness and nostalgia, a stunning Frankenstein of Unreal Engine 5 and the decrepit skeleton of a 2006 Gamebryo! Everything about this game is superb: from the glassy-eyed claymation mutants from the Uncanny Valley, stuck in door textures in 4K resolution with blurry DLSS on power-hungry graphics cards, to the meticulously preserved five-second loading screens when moving from basement to room within the same house. The damned auto-leveling, which suddenly turns a common roadside robber at level 25 into a full set of Daedric armor, turning every encounter into a five-minute damage sponge smash, is a huge delight, as is the delightful bug where shooting a paralyzed enemy crashes the game and forces a PC reboot with a physical button. But the most gratifying thin… Read full

I liked the game very much like the original, but the old version was kind of gloomy, it’s a pity they didn’t transfer it to the remake
