More about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
Players rate it 75 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 55 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 14 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 6,222 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.
17.6 hours to finish it, 94 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 5.3 times the campaign.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

Anyone who has tried playing OG Oblivion in recent years knows that it has performance issues on modern hardware (without significant modding and tweaking), so in...

Stuttering on a 9800x3d and 5070ti, even tried the nexus mods to fix it - didnt work, refunded. Waiting for Skyblivion
What a hot mess. This review stands to serve as a judgement of the REMASTER itself, not oblivion as a whole. I'm choosing to give this a positive review but mostly on the merit that if you're going to play oblivion, this is the preferred way to experience it first time. Let's start with the positives today. The graphical fidelity is top notch. This game is beautiful and seeing towns that I hadn't experienced for a...
