  • Summary: You are an exile, outcast and downtrodden, sentenced to walk in a barbaric wasteland where the weak are crushed and only the strong can live. Here you must fight to survive, build, and dominate the world alone on your own server, or with enemies and allies in online multiplayer.

    Journey    You are an exile, outcast and downtrodden, sentenced to walk in a barbaric wasteland where the weak are crushed and only the strong can live. Here you must fight to survive, build, and dominate the world alone on your own server, or with enemies and allies in online multiplayer.

    Journey through a vast, seamless world filled with the ruins of ancient civilizations and uncover its dark history and buried secrets as you seek to conquer and dominate the exiled lands yourself. Start with nothing but your bare hands and forge the legacy of your clan, from simple tools and weapons to gigantic fortresses and entire cities. Enslave the bandits of the exiled lands to do your bidding by breaking them on the grueling Wheel of Pain. Sacrifice the beating hearts of your enemies on the blood-soiled altars of your god to seize true power and glory. Summon the colossal avatar of your god and see them lay waste to your enemies and their homes.

    Just remember: in this brutal land of vengeful gods, bloodthirsty cannibals, and vicious monsters, survival is more than tracking down food and water. Explore mysterious ruins in search of treasure and knowledge, but beware the risk of your mind being corrupted by the dark forces of the world. Traverse vast sand dunes and seek shelter from scouring sandstorms sweeping across the burning sands. March into war against your enemies and unleash your savage fury in brutal combat. Go in unprepared and it will be your head rolling and limbs flying.

    Conan Exiles is not an empty sandbox. It is a world rich in history where you must discover the knowledge and secrets of ancient civilizations as you struggle to build your own.

    * SURVIVE THE BARBARIC WASTELAND
    In the world of Conan the Barbarian, survival is more than being well-fed and hydrated. Here you must weather scouring sandstorms, save your mind from being corrupted and going insane, and fight vicious monsters from the darkest holes of the earth.

    * BUILD YOUR LEGACY IN A VAST, SEAMLESS WORLD
    Journey through a huge, seamless world filled with danger and opportunity, exploring everything from sand dunes to towering ruins. Harvest resources to craft tools and weapons, then build everything from a small settlement to entire cities.

    * DISCOVER THE DARK HISTORY OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS
    Explore shadow-haunted ruins of ancient civilizations and discover great treasures and knowledge. Learn about the people who inhabited this world before and what led to their demise through inscriptions, wandering NPCs, and the environment itself.

    * CALL UPON THE POWER OF THE GODS
    Cut out the hearts of your enemies and sacrifice it upon the altars of your god to earn their blessing. Summon and take direct control of huge, towering avatars and wreak havoc on your enemies as you crush their homes and drive them from their lands.

    * DEFEND YOUR LAND WITH AN ARMY OF SLAVES
    Enslave the criminals of the exiled lands and force them to join your cause and defend your territory. Put them through the grueling Wheel of Pain to break their will, then turn them into archers, crafters, entertainers, and more. Find rare thralls for the greatest rewards!

    * DOMINATE YOUR ENEMIES
    March forth to war against your enemies, use explosives and see their fortifications crumble to dust, then unleash your savage fury with brutal attacks that will see heads rolling and limbs flying. Find or craft a wide range of weapons and armor.

    * PLAY TOGETHER OR ALONE

    Conan Exiles is one of the best survival games on the market, improved tremendously over the months spent in Early Access.

    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.

    In this game everything takes time. This is not a game that discounts and is not in the least meeting those who have never played a Survival. You will have to have a lot of patience, especially at the beginning. But all this changes in multiplayer.

    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.

    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 is one of the most disappointing games I have played this generation. I have not experienced another game on PlayStation 4 as broken as Exiles. It is hard to believe that a game could be released for purchase in such bad condition. In another genre, the bugs in Exiles might be fun or amusing. In a survival game, they are crippling. Gamers deserve, and should demand, better.

    Easily one of the best games I've ever played, certainly from the perspective of immersion. I disappear into this world for extended periodsEasily one of the best games I've ever played, certainly from the perspective of immersion. I disappear into this world for extended periods and completely lose track of time. I honestly haven't had this experience with a game for a very, very long time, despite sinking a fair amount of time into PS4 games such as Last of us, God of war, Doom 2016 etc, and a lot of time into Diablo III and CS:GO on PC. Admittedly I am particularly fond of sandbox experiences in general, which definitely wouldn't be for some people.

    I am playing this offline as I'm not that interested in PvP or having to worry about having my base destroyed given that I spend so much of my in game time building it; something that I have fallen in love with :) Overall the building experience is intuitive, quite nuanced and flexible enough to allow you to create almost anything you can dream up. Complimenting the building system nicely, the Thrall system works quite well as a mechanic, and adds a lot of life and form to the game but does need some more love from the devs imo to really shine.

    NPCs are genuinely challenging, and the world is a real $#*! to survive in, leading to a nice balance between adventuring and building, crafting and upskilling. It's really nice to go out on a challenging mission and then come and spend a few hours at base just crafting, building, adding placeables, and getting ready for the next adventure.

    The other really big upside for me is that the game looks gorgeous with beautiful (occasionally breathtaking) environments, weather systems, equipment, building components an so on.

    There are definitely some things I would love to see the developers add and improve though, despite not being essential:

    1. Giving more life to thralls... The ability to have them roam around (perhaps on a day / night schedule), sit down to eat, congregate, get drunk etc. The base is so integral to the experience of the game that making it seem more authentic from that perspective will go a long way. Being able to interact with them, change outfits for working Thralls etc would all be welcome

    2. Better menu systems for moving through items on crafting stations... Perhaps some listed filters rather than toggle filtering, as it can be hard to interact with on PS4

    3. Caravans as an extension to the exciting new mounts system, allowing us to move a decent chunk of gear across map, allowing us to explore further and more deeply without having to build new bases

    4. Jewels, artefacts, money, and with all that the ability to purchase from or trade with NPCs... More of a focus on treasure type items and mechanics would bring this game dangerously close to feeling like a Diablo RPG

    5. Boats, fishing and agriculture for survival... A real system that takes time and allows us to build a bigger community base

    Thank you Funcom for this amazing game!    … Expand

This game is an absolute piece of garbage. Horrible graphics, clunky combat, no end game, no quest line (I know it's a survival game but c'mon), buggy as hell. Not to mention you can't even see your own clan members on the map in a PVE server. Funcom, you nailed Age of Conan and totally crapped out rotten trash with Exiles. So disappointing. This game is essentially Minecraft with Conan lore. So unbelievably boring. Build your house, run around, gather more crap, build more stuff. That's about it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME!!!

    PS2 graphics, choppy animations, framerate is a joke, no tutorial, waste of 80GB (!) on your drive.
