Jun 5, 2018It’s not perfect (and carries many of the warts that are now tropes of the survival genre), but I’ve yet to find myself bored or disillusioned with any part of the experience. Like any game, Conan Exiles is best played with friends (and this game is AMAZING with a group of idiot friends). A battle to the death with 6 naked cannibals and a giant tiger is hands down the best gaming experience I’ve had in 2018.

May 27, 2018Versatile survival game in the Hyborean age with a lot of variety for construction enthusiasts, adventurers and explorers.
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jul 13, 2018A great survival game that makes you thirsty for exploration and building. Thanks to Steam Workshop, it’s practically a bottomless adventure pit. [Issue#286]
-
May 21, 2018Conan Exiles is a great survival MMO with an interesting world to explore. On the the other hand, its scale and population density do not allow for serious PvP-wars.
-
May 16, 2018Epic and thrilling. Conan Exiles is a fantastic survival adventure game with a great and bloody open world. Better with friends, is one of the best games of survival genre.
-
May 12, 2018It has some flaws, but the core and its presentation are so solid that makes up for them. If you like surviving and crafting, don't miss this challenging and absorbing adventure.
-
CD-ActionAug 2, 2018The game is full of all sorts of flaws and bugs, but thanks to deep mechanics and vast world it’s an enjoyable survival both in multiplayer and played solo (but less so in the latter case). [07/2018, p.52]
-
Jun 22, 2018Solid and beginner-friendly survival-action with a decent crafting system and a big, yet diverse world as a playground. But be prepared for plenty of grind.
-
Jul 18, 2018Conan Exiles is a survival title that hits the mark for anyone interested in the genre, immersing you in Robert E. Howard’s brutal Conan setting and offering server customization to suit any player. It's a sure win for anyone with the time to build their character.
-
Jul 13, 2018A very good survival. It does not offer much originality, but the familiar elements are combined to create a fresh result. Higher ratings are hampered by technical problems, but the game can handle complaints with a great deal of content, a well-balanced gameplay, funny action and, of course, an attractive setting.
-
Jun 22, 2018This game offers an amazing atmosphere and design that really puts you right in the middle of the Conan universe. It is a pity the ending makes you do a lot of grinding and the end-game content is a let-down too. If you can stand the bugs, the journey in Conan Exiles might be worth your while.
-
May 27, 2018Conan Exiles is dated and full of bugs, but it's also very fun due to a good story and huge amount of contents, and if you can overlook its many technical issues, you might end up having a great time playing it.
-
May 21, 2018The combat is mediocre and in some ways this still feels like it needs more time in the oven, but those who forgive these shortcomings can have a lot of fun in Conan Exiles.
-
May 17, 2018I had a lot of fun while playing Conan Exiles, despite the fact that playing MMO game in solo mode makes almost no sense and that you have to join a clan pretty quickly. Even though it doesn't offer anything new nor it is better than the competition, it is still a good game. Really.
-
May 15, 2018Conan Exiles is the best online-survival game I've played, despite the many bugs and shortcomings that make the game less polished than it should be. The exploration, crafting and survival mechanics are all great, but the game needs more polish and work before it can become a true gem.
-
May 17, 2018Conan Exiles captures the brutality of the source material, but weak combat and grindy crafting make it an often slow and arduous survival game.
-
Games Master UKJun 17, 2018Funcom's game is more about planning and hoarding than the outright violence you might expect. [July 2018, p.77]
-
Jun 1, 2018Conan Exiles shows some flaws and missing contents that make it still weak and incomplete. The potential of the game, however, is still good.
-
May 30, 2018Conan Exiles is loaded with possibilities and danger. But the poor online performance and a long list of glitches are currently killing the game, which begs for fixes.
-
May 27, 2018While some of Conan Exiles has rubbed off a bit for me thanks to friction with its more cumbersome aspects, it remains a genuinely engrossing experience to play... if you can find a spot in the queue.
-
May 15, 2018Broad in shoulder, wide in scope, rough around the edges. Nevertheless, an enjoyably meaty survival game.
-
Jun 6, 2018It's possible to enjoy Conan Exiles, primarily for its tie-in to the legendary character and his mythology, which is subtly reflected in the game world. At its core, Conan Exiles is another open world crafting and survival game: heavy on grinding, lonely for single players and frustrating for most in multiplayer. Overall, it feels like a product coming a little too late to an overcrowded table. As a genre, the realistic survival/building niche (Minecraft aside) is still opaque and in need of a streamlined, mass-appeal hit. Conan Exiles is not that game.
-
May 22, 2018In spite of some good ideas like the Thrall system, and the overall freedom given to the player, Conan Exiles is far too tedious to appeal to new players. Unless you're having fun since the beta, wait a bit more time for patches and a price drop.
-
May 24, 2018Ultimately, Conan Exiles is one of the most unsatisfying games I’ve ever played. Its crafting and resource systems may be dense enough that the ultra-patient could find something to enjoy here, but anyone else would likely walk away with their hands thrown up in defeat. The mind-numbing tedium of harvesting resources, woefully boring combat, and a slew of bugs left me feeling completely underwhelmed and unimpressed when it was all said and done.

May 14, 2018Played on a busy PvP server, while Exiles often comes across like the Ark/Rust clone it so clearly is, it has the setting and combat mechanisms to set it apart. Play it as a single-player experience and it will evoke memories of Minecraft, while as a co-op game, with its respawning mobs, thinly spread content and raid-like endgame, you might just catch the glimmer of an old school MMORPG, reminding you, just a little, of when the genre was a metaverse of uncharted promise.
