When 30 (!) French devs escape from Ubisoft to build their own game, they proved that the real issue with big studios isn’t lack of talent or heart, but horrendous corporate leadership.

pros: gacha game with actually awesome combat

cons: gacha game

I was just 15 or 16 when I first played Oblivion. I still remember the feeling of stepping out of the prison sewers into that wide-open world—the light, the trees, the music. Back then, I had nothing but time. I’d play all day, get lost in quests, wander through Cyrodiil without a care in the world. It wasn’t just a game; it was my escape, my adventure, my second home.

Now I’m 28. Life is different. Work, responsibilities, barely a few hours to spare. But when I saw the remastered version, something inside me stirred—like an old friend calling me back. And the moment I launched it, I was 16 again.

The improved visuals are beautiful, but what really hit me was the emotion. The nostalgia. The memories. Every town, every ruin, every track on the soundtrack—it all brought me back to a simpler time, when magic felt real and the world was mine to explore.

I may not have the time I used to, but even just an hour in Oblivion Remastered is enough to remind me who I was... and why I fell in love with gaming in the first place.

Thank you for bringing this back. It means more than you know.

11/10 – From a grown-up kid who never really left Cyrodiil.
