Bethesda
Is Oblivion better than Skyrim? All The Elder Scrolls games ranked from best to worst on Metacritic
A look at the Metacritic ranking of The Elder Scrolls games and the eternal feud between Oblivion and Skyrim.
Within a great franchise, there are titles that stand out from the rest. The ones that finally show the perfect mix of experience, technology, and the right moment to put the name of a franchise at the top. In the history of Bethesda and its various RPGs, The Elder Scrolls is characterized by two very important games: Oblivion and Skyrim, the most famous titles of this saga. But which one is the best?
All The Elder Scrolls games ranked by Metacritic
Based on critical reception and Metacritic scores, we can get an interesting perspective. Based on the data collected so far, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has a slightly higher score than The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, 2 points, almost nothing.
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 96
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: 94
- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: 87
- The Elder Scrolls Online: 71
It is worth noting that older titles in the franchise do not have a Metacritic score. On the other hand, we do not include expansions and mobile games such as The Elder Scrolls: Legends and The Elder Scrolls: Blades.
Ultimately, both Oblivion and Skyrim are exceptional games that have left an indelible mark on video game history. The “superiority” of one over the other is a debate that will likely continue for a long time to come, and the arrival of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is sure to reignite this discussion among fans. What is certain is that both offer immersive experiences and rich worlds that deserve to be explored.
