9 Reasons Skyrim Is Still One Of The Best Video Games Of All Time

3. The Perfect Accompanying Score

I have to make a separate point about Jeremy Soule's immaculate score. It's testament to the sheer musical prowess of Soule's composition and Bethesda's coding team, that the game always knows how to perfectly marry the two.

Currently getting soaked in a random bout of rainfall and on your way to a far-away city marker? Skyrim will layer in some soft synths underneath, occasionally peppering in a few piano stabs to highlight the mood.

Consequently, if a dragon bursts out the sky and you decide to stay and fight, the main 'Skyrim theme' will kick in - the one that was recorded with 30 singers all belting their notes out, before being layered up to sound like an entire army has your back.

Empowering? When Skyrim's score is in full swing and you're burying axes in the heads of ancient serpentine invaders, it feels like you could take on the entire world.
