Does Oblivion Remastered topple the competition with its tougher RPG aspects and modern visuals? Or is Skyrim still the king of the open-world RPG?

Ploughing through Oblivion's endless array of quests is simple thanks to a straightforward UI that makes it easy to activate and then follow one particular thread, helpfully keeps interesting side activities separate from main events, and never leaves me more than a click or two away from a large map with big red 'GO HERE NEXT' markers on it.

Amid the heightened interest in all things The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion brought on by Bethesda’s popular remaster, its original designer has admitted the game's level scaling system was a “mistake.” Oblivion’s level scaling system is perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects of the 20-year-old open-world role-playing game.
