    Awesome RPG with better frame rate

    This is one of the best cheapest editions I've ever upgraded. I love the graphics, the framerate, the story, and some additional features as well in this game. When I first time play Skyrim on my PS5, it feels realistic ... Read Full Review

    Massive and Beautiful from 2011
