A cash-cow book series gets a cynical game...
There is a little potential buried underneath the rubble that is Conan Exiles. The world, though sparse and slightly ugly does fit the license. The PvP is suitably unforgiving, the challenge of surviving the world brings out the worst in people and the best in the game.
An exercise in mediocrity that would have flown under the radar were it not for the ludicrous development cycle and marketing.
Those of you who are begging for a reason to load up KC:D will find something to spend a few hours on. But 'From the Ashes' will do little for anyone else. The low asking price however, takes some of the edge off of the criticism.
It is unlikely I will end up in the eighth circle covered in my own excrement after this review...
As Phil Daniels once sprechgesanged, "Accessibility is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as."
The military-industrial complex need not be worried...

Tie Fighting, X-Winging, AT-ATing, forced walking, forced Walkering, all of action-shooters’ rich tapestry...
Shay-Shay's maritime tale is still worth experiencing if you have need for the Assassin's Creed brand of piracy. On-land though, it shows its outdated mechanics.
Gravel's vehicle selection is small but well-chosen, the tracks are interesting to drive the rally classics around and online multiplayer is simple to use and well implemented
Supermassive's expertise in narrative and player-led storytelling brings us a gripping thriller that simultaneously shows the potential and the limitations of PlayLink.
When lined up with its predecessor in their respective years of release, SoD2 just doesn’t capture the imagination in the same way but is still worth playing
Despite a good start and its many sterling qualities, TL5M is shackled by its temporal premise...
Agents of Mayhem deserves praise for its supporting art-style, voice-acting and excellent characters. However, it lacks the missions and gameplay that these parts deserve.
Rime is a good game on its own merit but it's always going to be compared to titles that fans of the genre are probably familiar with.
