“END OF LIFE as of June 2025. Looks nice in pictures, plays worse than the original and somehow crashes more too! Cash Grab.”
“I appreciate the graphical update and combat tweaks, believe me. But if you want proof this was just a blatant cashgrab, be aware that the Dev team for this has went completely silent for about a year now, with no plans…”
“Constant frame rate drops, stuttering, crashing and quests break constantly while playing more than the original release of the game. At least it looks nice now I guess...”

“Game is a little janky (depending on your pc specs), NPC faces are weird, and they talk like they’re in a fever dream but somehow this game will be one of the best RPG games you'll ever play. You start off thinking…”
“It’s still Oblivion, but with spectacular graphics. Even with all its quirks, it remains one of the best RPGs ever made.”

“I think the criticisms regarding the performance are valid, and I'm not enough of an expert to tell whether it's an optimization problem or the engine itself. Even with a decent CPU/GPU combo I had to enable DLSS+Frame…”
“100% worth it, the game is so peak it looks exactly how the game did to me when I was small, as for how the game runs, the game stutters alot without your own patches added to the files but after some tweaks it runs…”

“Abandonware. Bethesda / Virtuos slopped this on the storefronts, released two small patches that fixed hard gamebreaking bugs and then left the game in a completely unreasonable state with very harsh frame drops, many…”
“Game crashes constantly and I'm constantly stuck in loading screens, plus there so little to no optimization”
“I've been troubleshooting this for the past hour and a half. The game doesn't even launch to menu, just consistently crashes. I'm requesting a refund. Do not buy this. Do not support this until they actually address…”

“Game runs awful, it's convinced it belongs on my second monitor and defaults to it every time the display mode is changed or the game is started. Can't maintain 60 fps on low outdoors. The ai slop upscalers like dlss…”

“Game crashes on start up and judging by other reviews im not alone. they havent dropped an update since june of 2025 so doubt its getting fixed anytime soon. ♥♥♥♥ you Bethesda. ♥♥♥♥ you”
“At present, the game feels like an abandoned Early Access beta since patches have stopped and the game is in a shameful state. It runs poorly, is riddled with bugs both old and new, and nothing whatsoever is being done…”

“DO NOT BUY THIS GAME The optimization is awful, with constant stuttering that makes the game literally unplayable, It’s insane. Also somehow the latest patch broke several mods, which is just amazing! It’s like Fallout…”

“They've taken the original game, given it a massive facelift, and fixed none of the issues (as far as I can tell). Enjoying it a lot though, when it isn't crashing...”
— a player, Steam review · 22 hrs played“Great game just like the original with stunning graphics, but sadly bad performance and optimization to this day. The general gameplay is fun and addictive leveling your skills up by doing them. The main story is alright but the side quest and factions quests, have amazing…”
— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“Whatever update they did last ruined the performance for me. the game even lags on the main menu, when previously I was able to play the game at an acceptable level. Unfortunately I can't get a refund with over 100 hours played. Game's abandoned.”
