Skyrim is one of the games I have played the most in my life. Cyberpunk 2077, however, is one of my biggest disappointments. Although it makes sense that I’ve gotten bored by now, I still crank them up again
We secretly have to chuckle at titles like Skyrim and GTA V. The games have been out for quite some time, and each time the creators manage to come up with a new version. Either it’s a version for a new console, or it’s the super-duper-ultimatefantastic edition. And yet, I’m going to get Skyrim out again.
I also conjure Cyberpunk 2077 from my closet. The launch of that game may be called a huge failure, but thanks to a recent update, it is now the game it should be. I can’t wait to crank it up instead of new games like Spider-Man 2.
Again Skyrim
I had a pretty good time with Starfield. Nevertheless, I don’t get the same feeling with that game that I once had with Skyrim. The latter has always managed to captivate me, even now that it is 12 years old.
That has everything to do with the creators. While we can say a lot about the game industry and its many companies, Bethesda shows real dedication. It is releasing new updates for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition.
This new update provides a special Creations Menu, where players can easily download content created by others. In addition, features such as support for both the Steam Deck and wider screens have been rolled out. Moreover, even 12 years after the fact, the creators have fixed quite a few bugs in Skyrim.
Again, this gives me just the push to take on the adventure as a Dragonborn in Skyrim and explore the land again. Moreover, with new mods from others, it can really become a new experience for me.
Cyberpunk 2077 also out
The only question left for me is where to get all that time for Skyrim, considering another game is also getting a major update. Cyberpunk 2077 has slowly evolved from a dire flop to an engaging game.
Maker CD Projekt Red has improved the game quite a bit over the past few years. Although I had started again last year, the game never pulled me over the line to really continue with it. Partly because since the better version came out one top game after another. Think Elden Ring, Horizon: Forbidden West and this year’s toppers like Spider-Man 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
And although my backlog of games is still huge, I’m convinced that the game can really captivate me. Thanks to CD Projekt Red, I had one of my best gaming experiences with The Witcher 3.
Again, the creators do show love for the product. They could have thrown in the towel after the huge flop that was the first version, but didn’t. They tried to regain confidence by giving the game extra love and turning it from a flop into a masterpiece.
In Cyberpunk 2077, the boss battles have been updated and the subway network has now been added by fan request. In addition, you can now enjoy music anywhere thanks to the portable radio.
So do you have time to spare due to the still long wait for GTA VI? Then it’s really worth turning on Skyrim and Cyberpunk 2077 again. If only to support the dedicated creators.
