The Elder Scrolls: Ranking Every Game From Worst To Best

7. The Elder Scrolls: Arena

Even if it ended up creating one of gaming's greatest franchises, Arena just hasn't aged well at all.

It almost seems unfair to put The Elder Scrolls: Arena up against the rest of the series, considering it originally debuted in 1994. Comparing it to the pedigree of the rest of series is like comparing a calculator to a supercomputer.

There are areas where Arena excels, specifically the combat and RPG mechanics. Although it doesn't compare to any games nowadays, the world of Arena is actually pretty large and in-depth, which is especially impressive when you consider how old the game actually is.

All of the positives in the world wouldn't change the fact that Arena feels extremely outdated and sluggish, as well as being the least user-friendly Elder Scrolls game. The fact that Bethesda's infamous lack of development care applies even to one of their oldest games is actually pretty funny when you think about it.

No matter where it appeared on this list, Arena will always be special for beginning the great series we have now.
