That holds true when you go hands-on with the brand new The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and get hooked in a way that few other RPGs can manage. The original game could be a bit hard to get your teeth around if you've adjusted to the streamlined flow of modern titles.

Oblivion has always been one of my biggest “I’ll get to it” games. Skyrim’s one of my favourite games of all time, and I always wanted to play Oblivion too, but whenever the itch came up, it always seemed easier to install another 100 mods to make Skyrim prettier and do another playthrough.

For those that don’t know, The Elder Scrolls: IV Oblivion is set in Cyrodiil, which borders Skyrim, the setting of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Hence why you can see The Throat of the World at the edge of the Oblivion Remastered map, assuming you can climb high enough.
