As you move around the world, the scenery, lighting, foliage, and weather shift around you, creating an effective illusion of crossing a large, diverse country. But Bethesda cleverly makes the map feel bigger than it actually is through the sheer variety of its geography.
You could probably squeeze a hundred Skyrims into the sprawling Assassin's Creed Valhalla. It's a pretty small open world by modern standards. Skyrim, the place, is easily Bethesda's greatest creation-and to this day remains one of the most powerfully atmospheric and evocative settings in video game history. For me, it isn't the quests, characters, story, dungeons, or combat that keep me coming back: it's the world.
With yet another version of Skyrim on the way this year-a new edition celebrating the game's tenth anniversary, launching November 11-I found myself wondering what it is exactly that makes Bethesda's wintry RPG so enduring.
