Bethesda has taken the world of video games by storm with the release of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on April 22nd. The remastered title of the fan-favorite action RPG stays true to the core elements of the original 2006 title while giving it a complete visual overhaul, making it an instant hit among Elder Scrolls fans and critics alike.
However, the remastered version of Oblivion hasn’t been free from criticism either. While reviews of the game have been generally extremely positive, a lot of players have had complaints regarding the lack of optimization in the game.
