  2. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (2016 r.)

Immortal Skyrim

Bethesda has been serving us successive refreshed versions of its hit for more than a decade, while porting them to new hardware platforms. Some gamers complain about this, but the ever-growing sales figures show that there is a demand for it.

The game, by the way, continues to be very popular - yesterday, at the hottest moment of the day in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition was played by more than 30 thousand concurrent players on Steam (this number also included players of Anniversary Edition). This is a result that most recent games can only dream of. Especially since we are talking about a game designed exclusively for single player.
