The Elder Scrolls: Blades may be the most expensive mobile game that plays best vertically ever made. This might surprise you, considering the Elder Scrolls franchise is perhaps best known for its open worlds filled with beautiful, yawning landscapes that benefit from being enjoyed on a big, widescreen television.

But the demo for The Elder Scrolls: Blades shown at Bethesda’s booth on the E3 2018 floor isn’t the usual Elder Scrolls experience. It’s more linear, claustrophobic and limited. In widescreen, the limitations are obvious; but when played in one hand, I can imagine how this game will fit into the daily routine of commuters and folks who like to fiddle with a mobile game while watching TV.
