The general sentiment towards the game's visual and nostalgic elements is positive, drawing many players back into an enhanced version of Cyrodiil. However, performance issues, crashes, and persistent bugs and glitches undermine the experience, leading some to recommend waiting for further updates. While the core game provides a beloved return to the original Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, technical problems frequently kept players from enjoying the nostalgia fully.
