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

    The most accessible and enjoyable survival MMO in years, Conan Exiles is a remarkable triumph and the best of its kind on PS4.

    A survival game that embraces adventure. [Issue#201, p.88]

    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.

    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 develop into one of the best in its genre if Funcom continues working on it.

    The game has achieved a good balance between functionality and quality.

    Funcom has created the largest Conan video game to date. This title has a successful commitment to survival and free construction in a large and rich environment. There are other mechanics, which are also good, such as combat with Souls-type action, or the search for sanctuaries and divine invocations to gain power and presence in these wild lands. The technical issues are the usual ones endemic to early access games, such as framerate, the AI and animations.

    If Ark and Rust are the flaccid alpha males of survival gaming, Conan is the cocksure challenger angling for an advantage. [Recommended]

GAME IS BROKEN ON PS4, SEVERAL FATAL BUGS. The framerate is terrible, if youre blessed enough to get it working. SONY WILL NOT ISSUE REFUNDS EVEN AFTER PROOF IS PROVIDED THE PRODUCT IS FAULTY, EVEN LIE CLAIMING THEY CANT REFUND YOU. (they can, but wont) Wait for at least 6 months or a year to buy. YOU WILL REGRET IT. Otherwise game would be fun, if it was able to run. Full Review »

It is so choppy and unplayable I'm getting sick. I'm not one to write reviews very often. but I created an account just to review this game. So disappointed. The optimization is awful. The game hitches non stop on the PS4. It's an utter mess. I can look past the blah graphics but when I'm feeling like I want to throw up due to the horrible framerate that's unacceptable. This game is absolute garbage. I can't believe Funcom launched this.

    Save your money. Do not buy this game. You will be disappointed.

    Buyer beware. You will regret your purchase. Do not buy this game.
