    It’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.

    Conan 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.

    The 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]

    The 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.

    Conan Exiles captures the brutality of the source material, but weak combat and grindy crafting make it an often slow and arduous survival game.

    Conan 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.

    Ultimately, 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.

    Great game, smooth after a not too long early access period. More than doubled the original map and much better combat!

    I think this game is underrated, It is a very good game and I've played it for 60+ hours on my steam account.

    The game is fun because it takes a long time to complete. There is a LOT of grinding involved in this game, much like ARK.

    I bought this game the first week it was in early access. I thought it was fun for a while even though it was very buggy, played it for 200I bought this game the first week it was in early access. I thought it was fun for a while even though it was very buggy, played it for 200 hours then felt there was nothing else to do. So shelved it and played it off and on sometimes.

    And then decided to play it again 2019 with the aim of exploring everything. I enjoy building a lot, exploring, trying to find thralls and pets.
    The game has come a long way and has improved a lot, though it still has bugs and problems and most of the pets look stupid such as the Jaguar has a permanent constipated grimace and the wolf has a a dopey cross eyed look like it's inbred and the pets overall don't look alive enough, they have a dead, vacant stuffed animal look and the pets are as stupid as they look.

    Thralls are also very robotic, basic and at times just stand there and don't attack.

    If you aren't into pvp it's still a lot of fun to build, make things and explore, you can spend a lot of hours just doing that before you feel like you get sick of it and wait for new content or just play now and then when you feel like building something or just mucking around.

    The game has improved a lot, but still could be deeper and have a lot more improvements. Wish there was a deeper story with maybe some quests with a epic ending instead of the lame one it has.
    Since the game has improved a lot and is being continually worked on I highly recommend.

    It's quite a fun game, but would rate it 6/10 and not 7 because of annoying bugs that never get fixed and might never.

    And it's disappointing that they can't implement mounts which was a previous promised feature.

    I recommend this game to buy if you like building and exploring and can put up with bugs, I don't mention pvp as I don't do it.

    I enjoyed and played this game for over 500 hours before feeling like I had nothing else to do.

Could be a fantastic action rpg mixed with survival and building tools, full of lore (Conan world's it's really wide) and it's only a builder game (and not the best option in the market right now). Surprises me how unpolished Funcom released this game, when it's a developer with +15 years of experience in online games. Could be a good game in the future, but he needs more than bug patches to make a Conan game we deserve. Expand

    Like a lot about this game, had some fun but also a lot of not so fun times as it also has so many problems I just can't recommend it. If youLike a lot about this game, had some fun but also a lot of not so fun times as it also has so many problems I just can't recommend it. If you play it for RP it might be good I guess. Or on a private server. I don't get what Funcom is doing. Guess they are just incapable of making decent game mechanics.

    To mention a few of my issues with the game:
    - Worst AI ever award?
    - PvP is pretty **** and mostly caters to griefers.
    *Main problem is there is no base defense that works in this game, You will get completely wiped in a matter of minutes after going offline at some/several points. Our last base had layers of top tier walls and tons of thralls etc but it only took a couple of guys a few minutes to blow it apart, kill all thralls, take all stuff and ruin weeks of effort.
    *Since you can see if people are online or not (wtf why? Decay timer) and how long they have been away from the base people wait until you are offline for a bit (near end of raid time/midnight usually), then blow your base to hell.
    *Thralls are only good for PvE and totally useless for PvP base defense. Even 50-100 thralls mean nothing when a player or three attack you base so if you want to do official PvP you better stay online every day from 18-23 CET.
    - PvE is also pretty ****.
    Possibly the worst PvE I've had in this type of game or MMO type games. Mostly because of the **** AI mentioned above. You can kill anything from a distance as an archer without it reacting. Mobs and bosses glitch all the time.
    - Bugs bugs bugs.
    One of the most bug ridden games I've played. Most aren't super serious, just annoying as f...

    PvE og PvE-C is better, but still has a few griefers that build massive walls around your base so you can't get out, and good luck getting in touch with an admin to get them removed.

    I have been experiencing crashes ("Fatal Error") very often, once every hour to as often as within minutes, and so far nothing I've triedI have been experiencing crashes ("Fatal Error") very often, once every hour to as often as within minutes, and so far nothing I've tried helped. I've brought this up at official forums and while the community has been helpful the devs have not addressed the issue for several months now despite multiple posts. Recently I've learned that my video card is considered low priority as well. With heavy heart I am changing my positive review to a negative one in protest. Expand
