The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remasteredis undoubtedly a better game than the original.

It offers not only vast visual improvements, but gameplay ones too.

In many ways, this visual upgrade doesn’t get in the way ofThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’sstyle.

Unfortunately,as soon as you return to the open world, it feels completely barren.

There’s something deeply wrong about this clean, highly detailed, and photorealistic version of Cyrodiil.

I think for newcomers, this change will look appealing, certainly more so than the original.

Sure, it looks graphically better, but it misunderstands the original intent.

It doesn’t feel like visuals as good asOblivion Remastered’sare currently achievable in Bethesda’s extremely outdated Creation Engine.

That’s not to say there aren’t stylish UE5 games; in fact, the opposite is true.

That can’t be the case withThe Elder Scrolls 6.
