If you spent all of Tuesday evening and the earlier hours of the following morning locked into The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, you might have been among the 180,000-plus concurrent players on Steam alone.
Spruced up by Unreal Engine 5, Bethesda's surprise re-launch of its 2006 RPG currently has swathes of the gaming community in a vice. It's the remaster so many have been aching off the back of countless rumors; Oblivion is considered one of the best RPGs of the Xbox 360 generation, famously beloved for its (often accidental) jank, and it's now playable on modern hardware and capable of going toe-to-toe with the likes of Avowed in terms of visuals. What's not to love?
