There are some locations in Oblivion Remastered which are so beautiful one has to take a screenshot before moving on to their next objective here. I think that the greatest aspect of Oblivion in the original version was the graphics around the Imperial City. I would always go on the bridge going towards Weye, a small hamlet with an Inn and man’s farm with some flowers on the stone walls surrounding it.
This cottage outside the Imperial City represents what I love about Oblivion. It is a game which understands how to utilize its environment to make it truly inviting to the player.
With the usage of Unreal Engine 5, the game looks better than ever. As I have stated in previous articles, the game is not the same painterly look as in the original game. However, now Oblivion has a more lived in look rather than this painterly, almost Monet style of appearance.
I think what I just love about it is how cozy it is.
Cozy games have generally been seen as the domain of the casual gamer.I think it would great to see more people in the Gaming industry attempt to give players an ability to breathe. Not all games have to be full of nonstop action.
Too many games are about being realistic but boring. Oblivion Remastered manages to accomplish being an exciting game with new graphics which truly flesh out Cyrodiil.
