These scores really are spectacular. Oblivion got very high scores at a time when pretty much any major game was almost guaranteed to get a 93+ metacritic. Reviewers have been especially harsh this year so for it to have improved on oblivion's metacritic, at least for now, is nothing short of spectacular.
The most amazing news is, at least from the reviews I read so far, this game doesn't seem to be that buggy. I think this is a first for a Bethesda game! |
Read the EDGE review then...
"
Skyrim still takes place in a world where a woolly mammoth can suddenly levitate a hundred feet into the sky and stay there. It still takes place in a world where trying to aid the city watch in a battle against a rampaging dragon can see you arrested and taken to prison – before the battle's over, mind – for striking one of the soldiers with a glancing blow. It's still a world where a nobleman will try, repeatedly, to enter a tavern, having forgotten to climb off his horse first. It's a world of clunking animation, of reused voice actors, of bandits talking over their own death throes. It's a world that's entirely engaging one moment and an utter farce the next. But it's a world that, providing you offer up your suspension of disbelief, delivers more than most games even attempt.

It's gonna be a bit buggy but as EDGE point out if you like the experience you'll ignore them as always.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
