Story
★★★★★
"Masterful"
Signed by Jeremy Soule, the music wraps the open world in a broad, contemplative orchestra, from the peaceful exploration theme to the epic "Dragonborn" choir. Each horizon breathes freedom and wonder, carrying the adventure without ever tiring. This symphonic breadth, timeless, remains a benchmark of the genre.
On the emperor's death, an anonymous prisoner finds himself charged with closing the gates of a demonic invasion. A legendary sandbox, the main tale rubs shoulders with a myriad of quests that tell a world more than a plot. Its freedom and the depth of its universe marked a generation of players.
Gameplay
"Excellent"
Fun
"Pleasant"
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Pushing open a door, following a rumor and getting lost in an unplanned quest sums up a freedom that, at every step, opens an unexpected new objective. Improving your skills through practice and exploring dungeons and guilds reward curiosity. Its engine has aged and its combat lacks weight, but the call of free-roaming adventure makes every session hard to wrap up.

With Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles folded in, this GOTY edition adds whole new lands and their quests to an already inexhaustible open world. Embracing several guilds, sealing the Oblivion Gates and exploring every cave at will stretches the adventure almost endlessly. That free, improvised generosity sustains the cult standing of Bethesda's RPG.
The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Game of the Year Edition, gathering Bethesda's open-world RPG and its Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansions into the fullest version of the game. Still common, its desirability rests on this status as the definitive edition to favor rather than scarcity. The reference pick for the best Oblivion on the console in a Western RPG set.
Is Elder Scrolls IV, The - Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition still worth playing in 2026?
This Game of the Year edition gathers Oblivion and its two major expansions, Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, the essential content in a single set. Shivering Isles, a plunge into Sheogorath's Realm of Madness, ranks among the best expansions in RPG history and alone justifies this version. Cyrodiil keeps its exhilarating freedom, its memorable guild quests and its inspired writing. The combat and the technology betray their age, but the scope of the adventure remains. To discover this open-world classic with its major content, this version is ideal.
