Conan Exiles Reviews
I played the PC version of Conan Exiles for the purposes of this review. From the perspective of a fairly demanding PC nerd, I found the game to be more than adequate. While it has lots of the classic rough edges common to survival games, it can be outright beautiful at times. I encountered no performance issues on my machine during play and the game has all the graphical options and settings you'd expect from a competent PC release. The game works well with high resolutions, ultrawide configurations, and high refresh rates. I found it to be very playable with the Xbox One S controller, though I used a mouse and keyboard for the majority of my time. The game runs on Unreal Engine 4, so users can expect the usual strong point or quirks common to games that license this popular engine.
This is one of those games that I constantly go back to when I'm bored or need some excitement. The endless treks into the desert will never get old and there is always something new to discover. Whether I want to spend all of my time building on the beach, or adventure into the wild to take down a boss or a wild animal for fur, there's always something to do. For the best experience, play on an official server with a high population.
Conan Exiles may not have the budget and finesse of those Triple A games, however at the end of the day, it is a decent open world survival game. The inconsistences with the gameplay and at times buggy graphics can be forgiven because it has charm and more importantly it successfully draws you into the world of Conan as you build your own Kingdom in an attempt to make your own mark in this godforsaken world.
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.
Conan Exiles has grown to be a rather large survival experience that does indeed capture the essence and visceral style of the Conan universe.
The most accessible and enjoyable survival MMO in years, Conan Exiles is a remarkable triumph and the best of its kind on PS4.
Conan Exiles takes a more mature approach to the survival/crafting genre and fulfils all your barbaric desires
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.
Versatile survival game in the Hyborian Age with a dynamic combat system and a lot of variety for builders, adventurers and explorers.

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.

Even in its current state, Conan Exiles is addictive and will keep you coming back for more. The structured milestone system eases you in.
Conan Exiles is a game where you make your own experience. Much like Minecraft, Exiles will have you exploring, creating, and building, while also providing a fully immersive game set in the world of Conan the Barbarian. Most of the time that will equal out to fun.
There are many dangers and challenges in the lands of Conan the Barbarian. It is great open world survival game with powerful building system and many possibilities.

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.

I really liked Conan Exiles. It drops you into an intense and brutal world, and it has deep gameplay mechanics that rewards you for digging deeper into the game. There is potential for some really cool things you can do, and this is the type of game in which you can spend 100+ hours playing. The combat is a bit too simple for my taste, so hopefully that is improved as the game is updated. I'd also like to see how Funcom can evolve the Thrall system some more but, overall, this is an easy game to recomend.
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.

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).
Given its dark and mature fantasy theme, Conan Exiles is a surprisingly accessible online survival experience. Even under the most generous conditions the game will still challenge you as you make your mark on the world, and players who fancy themselves as survival game experts will find plenty to pit their abilities against. No matter your level of experience, Conan Exiles is a survival experience that is very much worth investing in.
Conan Exiles feels like an unfinished game. A unique survival experience, full of potential, but also full of bugs and broken elements. It may become one of the best in its genre, if Funcom continues working on it.

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.
