The Legend That Refuses to Die | Skyrim Retrospective
Today we look at a gaming legend that refuses to die with a retrospective of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Whether it be continued support from developers or a sizable playerbase keeping the game running, a handful of games have managed to be preserved and given an almost immortal stature in the industry. Skyrim, the fifth title in the Elder Scrolls, is one of those titles thanks to how much it influenced the industry — as well as the various ports and rereleases over the years. Is it deserving of its legacy? That's what we're gonna find out today. #ElderScrolls #Skyrim #Bethesda
