Despite its issues and flaunts, I couldn't keep myself away from Conan Exiles. Its meaty combat, huge map and nicely paced objectives made the game morish, even when I got lost (in the menus, not the jungles).

Overall, the game is superb. I love the hack and slash dynamics. The crafting system is awesome because you really need to go through the hardships and challenges just to craft even a single item. I would recommend that this game be played with friends as it’s the type where it’s more fun playing with others. One of the things I didn’t like is the story, it’s kinda difficult to understand especially to those who haven’t seen anything that’s Conan-related.

Conan Exiles is probably the most interesting survival game yet, despite the minor technical issues. If you're looking for an original survival title with enjoyable gameplay, you've just hit the jackpot.

When things click, Conan Exiles is a unique and moreish survival-RPG that does scratch a primal itch. Unfortunately, it's also sadly mired by a multitude of bugs, framerate stutters, audio dropouts and some head-scratchingly confusing menu systems.

Conan Exiles is enjoyable enough, but it does reveal some fundamental weaknesses in the survival genre; it's not one that can be tuned effectively to storytelling, and that means that if you're using a storytelling property, such as Conan, you're going to need to exhibit a great deal over control to bring the necessary focus into the experience, and unfortunately the developers weren't able to quite get there with Conan Exiles.

Conan Exiles has several flaws that can ward off players interested in the world of the famous barbarian, but also shows quality in their primary functions. A cooperative experience further enhances the quality of the game and ensures good fun if the various technical and visual problems are ignored.

Conan Exiles is often slow and arduous, but even after 70 hours – 40 since launch – the idea of returning to the Exiled Lands still holds some allure. Crafting is largely a tedious grind, especially the higher up you get in the crafting tiers, and it's surprising that in a world about brutal combat, Conan Exiles falls flat there. However, the beautifully realized world is a joy to explore and it nails the atmosphere of the source material.

Conan Exiles really shocked me in a good way because honestly I didn’t expect such a huge amazing survival game that could make me to play over 70 hours in just few days! Man… this game is really really huge game with amazing amount of content that worth your every penny you sold to buy this game. We must mention that Conan Exiles has some technical problems, bugs and also big voice issues but these problems are so Negligible prepare to positive elements of the game. Conan Exiles is a really “Survival” game and you need to be extremely patient when you play it and be ready to click on every points of its huge world and collect items to become stronger very slow, specially if you play offline solo. In fact playing this game in offline solo is so overwhelming and I absolutely suggest you that play Conan Exiles online and co-op to see all beautiful contents of the game and more importantly grow faster in its huge world. Conan Exiles Undoubtedly is one the best survival game that we ever seen and worth your time and money very well.

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.

As you play more of Conan Exiles and access higher tier items, it becomes more and more clear that there was serious potential here. The survival aspects of the game are fun, provided survival is your thing, and it brings some new ideas and features to the table. The thrall system in particular is interesting, but ultimately fails in its execution. Considering its price, I can't help but feel the package and its quality is a little lacking.

Conan Exiles offers hundreds of hours worth of addicting gameplay for those who love the grind and tediousness of crafting combined with the challenge of survival. The play modes are so flexible that anyone, regardless of experience with the genre, can jump in and get a fair start.

Hardcore fans of the survival genre may find it really fun to try and build a small empire in the exiled lands of the Conan universe but newcomers may find that it is uneven and janky.

Conan Exiles is a staggeringly deep adventure game, but you may get too frustrated to bother making it to the end.

Aside from being upset about the US not getting a full nude version of Conan Exiles on the console, this game is pretty damn good. The crafting system is extremely complex in regards to the variety of things you can make and their uses. The access to those recipes and the actual creating of the items is easy and even a brain dead horse would be able to manage it. The thrall system (Servants) makes this even easier and speeds up the process of everything as well as beef up your base defense. The single player is great for people who prefer solo play but it takes some fun out of the game in my opinion.

After finally going out of Xbox Live Preview we get an unstable mess riding on the wave of Ark and similar titles. Interesting setting may not be enough to offset all the flaws. But it looks good, plays alright, and gives us direction, which is way more than other titles of this genre can offer.

The game is a great addition to the likes of Minecraft but they are looking for something deeper and realistic, suffering from the disadvantages and technical errors that limit the pleasure but play online makes it amusing anyway.
