The thing that is most remarkable about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered edition is how pretty it looks to the eyes. Unlike many games that were released on the Xbox 360 and later the PlayStation 3 generation, Oblivion was a painterly game. The color shades and the environments all led to the creation of a game that was very cozy to play in comparison to more linear video game experiences.
The reason why it is cozy? It’s because of the aesthetics of the game.
The Lord of the Rings style, created by the visionary author Tolkien is superior to Skyrim attempting to mimic the style of Game of Thrones.
I think that there are many times where I just turn the game on and smell the roses.
While I can’t smell such roses, it is just great being to go into Oblivion Remastered and see such beautiful landscapes before me.
This shows that having a beautiful environment as your sandbox can make a game truly hold for many years. That’s why Oblivion is a great game.
