First SKYRIM Review Gives 95% Score

By Matt Holmes / November 8, 2011

Australian magazine Atomic have given Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim a 95% score in the world's first known review for Bethesda's hotly anticipated new RPG. They claim the game more than and actually exceeds our expectations and will please long time fans of the series and also those who are jumping on board the bandwagon for the first time. They say;

"Ultimately Skyrim is a lot like Fallout: New Vegas - there are some flaws but they pale into significance compared to the sheer scope of the game,

This is a very successful game that will be much loved by the RPG fans out there - and for people who've never really got the whole role-playing thing before."

Atomic call the AI moment "mood breaking" and that Bethesda have created a "beautiful sprawling world" that is jaw-dropping.
