This game is satanic if you are a Christian stay away. The new Sorcery Update leaves little doubt that this is so. I'm deleting my game as of today. Toxic.

if youve got nothing left to play and enjoy casual slavery, nudity and violence against oneself this might be up your alley

From what I've seen of letsplays by Jawoodle this game looks fun and amazing so I purchased it. I haven't been able to play at all due to the bugs in the game so far. Anytime I click on different tabs in the game or interact with things it will randomly freeze up. If finally get it to randomly unfreeze my computer opens up other applications in the background that are located on my desktop. I hope a solution is found and I will keep looking for patchnotes because I am super excited to play this game. Also I hope that full nudity will be allowed in the US on this game at some point, so I can experience the game fully in all ways it was produced instead of being throttled by my location of birth.

Don't play official, Chinese exploiters will ruin your day.
Don't play private, cuck admins will ruin your day.
Otherwise good game.

The new Sorcery update is simply amazing! The graphics, real action combat, the gorgeous environment are all top notch and worthy of every minute of your play!

This is a must play in my opinion, they really out did themselves with this. You can be a Necromancer, Demonologist, and Sorcerer all at the same time it is amazing!

good game but would suggest setting everything to very hard mode, normal play is to easy and gets boring quick

I like the survival aspect of the game, it can be very addictive. Also playing in the Conan universe is really awesome.

Had to change my review for yes to no. The game has become a monygrab. The new battlepass system is preditory and EXPENCIVE! compared to all the other DLC's

around 3000 hours on this title loved the game and its feel sad to see this flat out FOMO money grab crap come about and the push to get it on consoles to make more on FOMO may as well be a bloody mobile game now IMO.

Have had a lot of fun with the game over the years but my most recent experience has completely soured the game. The pvp in this game is completely broken when anyone with 20 expertise and over weight can just jump near you and kill you. doesnt matter how much gear, hp, or skill you have when it can lag for .2 seconds and someone jump on your face and you are dead. A naked 1 shotting a best gear in the game is not balanced in any way.

The bugs and glitches don't get addressed. If you have a problem, then its YOUR problem. It doesn't matter if 1000's of other players all experience the same thing, still your problem. Dev's don't care, so refunded because I cannot get it working.

I'm in love with this game, the building tools are great and you can really customize your base quite well! I love the Age of Sorcery update, I'm glad they decided to go the battle pass route like most other games, its keeps new content free and also gives you a way to earn new fun cosmetics if you want to buy. The people crying its cash grab are being ridiculous, its 12$ for an optional battle pass that gives you nothing but cosmetics. It doesnt wreck your game in anyway by not getting it and it helps fund NEW FREE content for players. Enough with the broke cry babies. Maybe get a job and then you wouldn't be pressed over 12$

This game is big even just the basic game with no add ons. Its easy to use as well. I use controller and the button lay out is easy to use with a smooth flow. i love that you rally have to paly the game to LV up. i know people may be mad about the battle pass move but i find that to be cool. it keeps you coming back each month or so for new stuff. Just an all together good game to me.

So many bugs, so much sad game design, great for some grindy co-op with a buddy if thats your thing and if its one sale, first 20-30 hours were pretty great but after that the flaws started really showing.

Stormy Skies

There is a lot to like about this game. A lot. From rather great character models and beautifully rendered landscapes to the smoothest climbing system I've witnessed in a survival game to a great building system and 'tech tree' to a wonderful weapon system, combined with the whole concept that the world really doesn't acknowledge your presence much and respawns things as long as they're not right next to something you've built, this game has a huge amount to offer.

It's all brought to a screeching halt, very frequently, by a single bug: Pak file corrupt or tampered with.
Inevitably, even without any mods whatsoever and even without any DLC, this error will find you.
The game will still run for a time if you ignore it, so when the host gets this error they can tell people to log out immediately because the server's going down... But that's it.
This error has been around since the launch of the game and somehow STILL has not been fixed. Simply acknowledging the error brings the entire thing down, and the only way to resolve it is to do a full Steam Validation, then launch it again.
Sometimes I can go an entire day without this problem. Sometimes it happens within seconds of launching the game again after verifying.
There is no rhyme or reason to it, only that it is there, and if it ever happens to you, it will haunt you even through reinstalling the game.
Looking for solutions online shows that this issue has been around as long as the game has, been found by literal thousands of people, and never been addressed.

Because of this absolute showstopper of a bug, I cannot recommend this game to anyone, which sucks because if it didn't have this problem I'd be recommending it to anyone who wants a survival game that doesn't pull any punches.

Used to have the game on xbox- was a buggy mess to the point it wasn't even playable at times, Seen Conan on sell for steam for cheap price- thought to myself the pc version is probably better maintained because it has a larger player base

Get in game have fun realize food and water bar stuck at 100% never goes down, not even after a hour of waiting. Idk about you but i like the survival mechanics in my survival game to work. Can now walk across whole map without needing to eat or drink, some people would call that a win- I call that game ruining. I wouldn't of bought a survival game if i wanted it to be to easy and the survival elements broke.

Fun survival game to play with friends. I wouldn't recommend it to single players though as a lot of the content requires teamwork to achieve. Whats more fun than "to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."?

Lot of really simple negative reviews out there. It's a survival game. Playing on public servers is going to be a troll-fest always... However, for a game with a "pet" system, mounts, survival qualities, an actual combat system, and stuff to FIND and COMPLETE (Meaning, there are REAL DUNGEONS that unlock REAL STUFF in the GAME!), I find it hard to give the game a negative review. It may have it's frustrations and bugs, but at least someone made a survival game where there is something to do other than build a house and starve to death.

Conan Exiles is a great game where friends can work together. Build your base and take on the world. Not a fan of Battle Pass, but there's a lot of content besides it.

siddzilla
siddzilla

The battlepass is $9.99 for 3 months, equating to $0.77 per week, or $0.11 per day.

Let's be honest, the people claiming to boycott this game... the people that claim to LOVE this game, are boycotting it over $0.11. LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT.

We have not been prevented from accessing the phenomenal amount of content available in the standard game + DLC's. The same game that they claimed to have loved last week, is still playable this week. People are way too entitled nowadays, and simply want this additional content for free... additional content that they were fine with not existing last week.

CONAN EXILES IS AMAZING AND THE BATTLEPASS DOES NOT IMPACT THE STANDARD GAME NEGATIVELY.

Keeyek

This is the most frustrating game I've played recently. On the one hand, the game evokes sense of adventures which I haven't experienced for a while. The mysteries, secrets, 10/10 looking armours, very good gameplay loop etc. On the other hand, Funcom is doing everything in their power to make this awesome experience as miserable as possible. Co-op is frustrating, you cannot conveniently setup a game for 2 ppl and just hop in and out, not matter whether the other person is available or not ( I know that there is and option to rent a server but come one, you need a whole guide how to do it and then pay 10 euro a month, despite the fact that you already bought the game and DLC, battle pass etc. really?!). Now I can't even play this parody of co-op with my SO because she cannot join my game due to very known, very well described CRITICAL bug that somehow isn't handled yet.

Thank you Funcom for destroying such a wonderful game :)

Love this game have lost so many hours relaxing farming materials and building bases and various structures whilst the PvP community can be toxic at times the rest of the community are sure to give you a mix of laughs and support where needed

Comin from other crafting survival games, the base game adds really amazing concepts including a coveted npc follower built in feature that makes even solo plays fun. I've started to dip into modding because there is always more cosmetics desires, but I urge you to try the base game and within hours I'd wager you'd want to purchase DLC because it opens up more armors and building objects. If you like combat, building, AND PETS- FUCKING PETS, this game is for you. I highly doubt you'll regret your experience.

worse now than it was back then. played first release with bugs glitches etc. they fixed it to a nice stable source, now it is back to bugs from the beginning of first release. Don't even get me started on a battle pass in a sandbox. the game had a great mid life then progressed to a mess of what used to be a great game. prepare to fall through the world, bug in place, bodies\items disappear within seconds, horrible un-shareable items due to a "new easier" function(to get you to buy into items), enemies stuck\unresponsive, truncheons not serving their purpose of capturing, bugged dialog, etc. Luckily i was able to play co op with a friend, but it has lost that special spark. I'll remember the good old game and not this mess of greed.

I have a LOT of hours in this game. Played Solo, PvE and PvP. The game was really good, but I have just returned and it has gone way down hill.
First they finally added sorcery after promising for 4 + years, and it is crap, come on you had 4 + years to get it right.
The new Attribute system is also a major step backwards and reduces Build Strategy.
And Cash Shop!
Nothing ruins a game worse than micro-transactions.
And I was looking froward to Their new Dune game, but I guess I will take a pass on it if this is their new template.

Conan Exiles is a lot of fun. Ignore the recent negative reviews; people are just review-bombing because they're mad an entirely optional battlepass was added. It has no effect on gameplay and nothing has been taken away from the game since before it was added.

I would definitely recommend this game if you like open world survival games, especially if you like playing with your friends.

Canniballistic
Canniballistic

Its enough fun even playing solo to recommend, thanks mostly to its customisability, but theres a lot of lazyness and head scratching choices they made in the game...

Like why does the resolution keep going back down from 4k in fullscreen window? Its such an obvious bug.

Why does the recipe for alchemical base require end game items, but is required to advance to end game?

Why is combat so lazy that you can just run circles around most enemies and they will never hit you without an aoe attack?

Why are there so many issues with tooltips? Ive seen an attributes tooltip be a copy of another one, and a lot of the server setting tooltips are very poorly worded and vague.

Why is the AI so dumb/broken? Ive had followers stand there being attacked doing nothing, and the enemy AI constantly just stops moving and stands still for a random period of time, and sometimes followers wont attack anything nearby, or even what Im attacking... in general the AI is really horrible.

Why is the resource progression not really tied to the map? You can make most things without leaving the desert.

Why are mounts so slow, and why cant they turn while running?

Why can you only have a single follower by default? They arent exactly strong and seem disposable so having only one (or 2 from max Authority) makes no sense.

Why is farming so generally useless? Theres not really any animal or plant that gives you a good RoI, let alone one better than just going out and harvesting the stuff, it seems pointless. Maybe if you could breed them for hides and meat it would be slightly better, I guess its another example of the devs being lazy.

Why is sorcery so annoying and boring? Youre not incredibly strong with full corrupted attributes, the spells are slow, resource intensive and generally useless. Its nice to have a demonic mount, except the rhino doesnt attack anything by itself, and they dont have an inventory. Maybe without regent pouches and some more useful basic spells it might be better, but its just not worth messing without outside of maybe the summoning circle.

Why couldnt they line up the animations when you sacrifice someone for sorcery? It shouldnt be hard, all the NPCs seem to have the exact same body type so their neck is always in the same place and it forces you into an animation, just make the effort to slice their actual neck and not use telepathy. Its just lazy.

Why does everything have to be completely unexplained? The game doesnt really tell you how to do anything. If you had no previous experience in a game before this you would be screwed. all the recipies are hidden, the mechanics are hidden, even the damn story elements are hidden... I do enjoy a sense of discovery but this is ridiculous, its not fun to fumble in the dark, there needs to be some bread crumbs, but the developers are probably just being lazy again and leaning way too hard on the fact that this game was in early access so the drip fed updates with announcements explaining how they work mean they never actually integrated any design for a new player experience.

Why are there just no casual clothes? This is an RPG right... it plays like an MMO, but without mods you can only wear rags or a high class gown, theres no room to dress up yourself or your thralls, and even with the armour too, half of it looks the same, they just copy pasted the same crap and called it "epic", and most have similarly useless bonuses.

Played it for hundreds of hours on Xbox and another Steam account before this one... I grew up with the original Conan movies and always loved them and the lore that most people don't know if you've only seen the movies. Being able to adventure about and build castles and forts in that universe is a lot of fun. If you like games like Ark Survivial Evolved or Mincraft, and have an interest in the Conan universe, its the game for you. If not, then obviously it might not be for you. Tons of mods available for QoL or additional features as well.

This game has been around for a while now and I've been playing it at different stage of it's developement. I very much enjoyed it (mostly) but what convinced me to give it a bad reviews have been the long unsolved bugs and the latest changes. Let's start with the bugs ;

- You'll shoot an arrow and 1 time out of 6 the arrow will bounce off the target.
- You will attempt to climb a wall and the slightest irregularity on the surface can make you fall off
- NPC/creatures can easily get stuck in the environments
- NPC have a near perfect aim. They will NOT miss you
- Sometimes the animation of the attacker will miss it's marks but will somehow manage to lower your health bar anyway
- The construction is really frustrating, some items that should stack on top of each other just won't

As for the recent changes...

- The addition of a battlepass seems like a bad idea to me. It's just not made for that kind of games, it's quite expensive and the rewards are not worth it. At this point they gave up the subtlety and dive straight into your wallet.

I still enjoy the game. Sometimes, but these bugs have been there for ages and they did nothing to solve them. They could do so much better on this.

you may think I have only played for 6hrs, but I owned this game on xbox and played almost to the end, I got tired of the laborious menu system among other gripes so I decided to start over on PC. So yes I like this game a lot, just got to understand the modding system of installation. Hopefully the freeze screen bug will be fixed, that is my only criticism. Very basic help is hard to find.

Good game. Decent combat, exponential amount of content. Not a game with guns which I feel that the gaming community needs right now in a survival game with this level of content, which is kinda sad but slicing and dicing is great. I highly recommend though, have fun!

This game is a complete BLAST!! My wife and friends are all enjoying it and we're looking forward to our server going live now that we've configured it the way we like it. Should be a real treat, challenging and rewarding! If you like Might and Magic or Conan, you'll enjoy this survival / Dungeon runner, it's a hoot!

you can't even get your items back off your corpse when you die half the time. this game has been in development for years, the devs should be FUCKING ASHAMED of how buggy it still is. fuck this game. PRO FUCKING TIP: if a new player dies and loses all their shit in the first couple hours and can't get it back because their corpse won't give them a prompt no matter where they stand or click, YOUR GAME IS FUCKING BROKEN YOU MORONS. Funcom has been a dev for ages, they should have learned. Fuck you all.

Conan exiles is overall a good game, fun exploration, enough variety of enemies, MANY weapons and armors, advanced and deep yet easy building system, vast mod support;
if you're an obsessive builder or just want to explore and fight with some friends, it's the game for you.
Where this game shines is in private servers with an active organized community.

I would highly recommend Conan Exiles for the game itself.
BUT the new FREE update is not what most people expected. Don't call Sorcery on me when you need 4 seconds to cast a spell without even having a hotbar for that.
Where's the fireball, any direct offensive spell ? Imbue weapons with elements ? Nope. Temporary spells, summons, and corruption, that's all you get.

It's pretty fun! Co-op is a bit finicky and it was hard to always have a good connection when trying to play with others. My bf figured out a way to get a consistent connection doing techy nerd stuff - I mean that in the most loving way possible.
Something else about the co-op feature: it's just a single player world centered around the host. Which means the other players can't get too far away from you without getting teleported to the host. And enemies only spawn if the host is in range. So unless you get a dedicated server that untethers you from the host and allows the world to render separate from them, it's not as fun because you're basically stuck doing whatever the host wants and it can get frustrating if you want to do different things.
I find that sometimes all the skill trees [knowledge, attributes] are overwhelming when you're not used to this type of game, but following along with the Journey tab helps a lot. Sometimes trying to build one thing requires a lot of steps to get to that particular item in the skill tree, so try and keep spare points or spend them as you need them. Definitely invest in an alchemy table and collect yellow lotuses. The Yellow Lotus potion will help you reset your points if you feel like you didn't go the route you wanted.
Not sure if I just haven't found a way, but you can't tell what kind of weapon something is until after you've crafted it. Like sometimes a shortsword is an agility based weapon, and sometimes it's strength.
Gonna try not to spoil too much more, but that was my two cents for starting out in this game. I got the isle of Siptah version since that seemed like the best deal for your money, especially if you can catch a good sale on top of the bundle.

Honestly the game seems great and is pretty cool.... if you manage to join your friends game. Been 20mins and it will not connect to the co-op game. If you manage to connect you constantly get kicked out for no reason. Every single time I've had to connect it takes soooooo many tries or just simply never connects. From steam, from an invite in steam or an invite in the game itself after adding each other over and over again, NOTHING works. I cannot understand how a game has been out for so long with so many DLCs and you can't even get a game to launch properly. FIX your game before wanting to make more money and make it bigger and bigger. I cannot believe this game is 50$ if you can't even get the co-op to work properly. I'm glad I got it on sale for 15$ at this point because I would be even more livid if that wasn't the case. I've been wanting this game for a long time and this is just disapointing.

Brilliant game love the new update, now the game has what it needs to have and love the new system u get stuff its not expensive because with it u will do more stuff for the game, would love that u make some armours for our pets that we can craft, now that we can sacrifice trials it would be nice to have some cages I can put them for some later sacrifice etc., and the only thing that is missing in this game is why can't we block with our weapons, and at last make so our tralls can do stuff like mining and wood cuting it wolud be a nice thing.

I played this game when it first released and wasn't in love with it but after this sorcery update I am getting back into it and it's pretty obvious there is a LOAD of great stuff now. I really love the update to the building system, the addition of the battle pass seems to have upset some veterans but I think it's a good sign that the devs are going to be putting more effort into releasing new content, you can also complete the challenges in single player with creative mode and still get the battle pass content. There are still a few bugs here and there, none so bad as to ruin the experience though. If you are looking for a new survival game then I'd definitely recommend this one; The buildings system alone was enough to pull me in. There's a lot to love for sure.

If you want to play this game with no mods, it's great.

If you want to play this game with mods in single-player, it's a bit annoying.

If you want to play this game with mods in multi-player, god rest your soul.

Conan Exiles: Age of Fuckery once again broke more mods.

A little pricey even when on sale (If you get all the DLC's), but so worth the money! You'll not find too many games that have so much going on with it. If you have a modern enough PC (I'd say somewhere around 3 year old PC and newer?) You'll not have any lag or stutters...I even have a few mods and it's smooth, with the occasional crash once in awhile, but that's with pretty much any modded game, especially since 3.0 just came out.

I'm a bit disappointed on the spells that they recently added to be honest. In my humble opinion, most of them are lackluster and the corruption side-effect is a bit strict. There is however a new mod called Better Spells and that seems to help a bit with that. I pretty much begged the mod author to create a more relaxed (Ok, fine I mean OP lol) spell mod that isn't so harsh and have better spells, nearly unlimited flight for single player, etc! Thank me later...

Not everyone wants to go in Creative Mode just to fly. Although Funcom out did themselves with that mode OMG! Also with the build hammer, If you quit playing this game because the building was so horrible, come back to it now, it's absolutely amazing just for the building alone!

The combat and exploration in Conan is SO much better than ark and way less scuffed in general. It is still a bit scuffed sometimes but, I think that's to be expected in survival games. Only things that could be better imo is more animals to tame, making it so you can't get stuck in groups of enemies and/or your own tames, and making it so that you aren't able to do any damage to, stun, or knockdown my own clan members when we're fighting things together lol

Really love this game, I own it and all it's DLC on both PC and PS4 and I've been playing it on and off for years. However I have to leave a negative review in opposition to the newly announced battlepass system. Hopefully this system can be reworked to benefit both the dev team and the player base but until then I cannot recommend this game.

They added a battlepass, to a survival game.. The battlepass is like the worst thing to happen to games, because they put content behind tedious tasks that contradict with the freedom of your gameplay.

If you wanted this game you are sadly too late. This was a really fun game, had great times in it, but the next update is going to turn it into live service garbage not unlike how Fallout 76 is at the moment, including:

It was good when it lasted. Another game that will be abandoned in my library.

Sad what steam has become.

Okay, maybe I should go into greater detail about why I think you shouldn't purchase this game.
Personally I don't mind a challenge. I welcome it in fact. The more challenging a game, the more enjoyable it is to play, but what I despise most is tedium. Tedium like walking for long distances with nothing going on, having to grind for simple things like mid grade weapons and armor or building parts, and having to fight the same enemies over and over again with no variety.

And that is exactly what this game offers. Tedium. I keep coming back to this game, to give it a chance, because I want to like it. So far it's just one tedious task after another. It takes forever to mine enough iron to build a forge and weapons/armor. There are no concentrated iron resource areas in the earlier areas, not even small ones, so you gotta walk along the base of cliffs and look for iron rocks which are few and far between. So I did all of that twice and got myself some iron tools and armor. Great.

Now I need more and more of that resources to build new buildings, so more walking the same route doing the same thing. Then I find out I need a completely different resource to build these other buildings, but the game doesn't even give me a hint as to where these resources are located, so i have to meta-game in order to locate them, then walk across the map to actually harvest them, then walk back, and do this over and over again.

It's just all so tedious. The tedium kills the fun. Everything takes too many resources to build or craft, and anything that isn't stone or wood takes too long to gather in high enough quantity to really do anything with. All in all, if you enjoy tedious and grindy gameplay then this is the game for you. If not, then don't spend your money.

Imagine being magically yoinked out of your world and clothing and dropped nude into a harsh barbaric dark fantasy, but you are not the chosen one, no one gives you free magic, cheap enchanted mech suits, and you have no power here. Instead you are a normal person who gets hungry, tired, thirsty, and almost every thing that moves wants to see you bleed. Will you crawl your way through the grit and muck to become a warlord god who rules over your unpaid intern army in the biggest coolest castle fortress you can imagine, or uninstall and go play a game that lets you befriend cute animal people who are nice to you and encourage you to decorate your cute homes together. The choice is yours.
This game is easily one of the top 3 best survival games of all time.

You had me at adding sorcery to the game.

You lost me at adding a Battle Pass and locking cosmetic building pieces behind it, thus making it permanently missable content.

You lost me even further at adding a cash shop.

I bought and paid for this game years ago, and I was praying you guys would never go this route. I was happy with paying for and buying DLC content.

This is a complete and utter fail and shows how much you've become out of touch with the gaming community.

as a medieval geek this game is right up my alley, and I recommend it for anyone who enjoys castle building, although it doesn't offer you the utmost freedom in building I think it strikes a good balance between keeping it intuitive yet giving you a lot of leeway in the creativity department.

UPDATE: If you want to enjoy this game as a casual or solo player I highly suggest you get a thrall. They are NPC's you capture and make into your companions. They are far tougher than you and increase the overall enjoyment of the game IMO.

This game reminds me of Valheim only with not as satisfying combat. It is a 3rd person, forgiving survival game with MMO elements.

What I mean by forgiving survival is that you can go a rather long time without eating or drinking before you have to on the default setting. You can even eat bugs to regen health and delay hunger, though that should only be when out of food. For water you can just jump in a body of water and you're good. I prefer this type of survival game versus the hardcore type that you always have to be on top of just eating and drinking.

The game has free and private servers that can hold up to 40 players. And if you play sinlgeplayer or co-op you can alter the private settings to either be extremely forgiving in stamina usage, your damage, enemies damage, how fast/slow you hunger and thirst, how fast or slow resources repopulate, and a lot, lot more.

And as you level you can craft your home, weapons, clothing, decorations, religion items, and more. It has a progression system and you'll have to venture further and further out from the starting area to acquire the resources to advance. And there are boss type enemies with some having items needed to remove the bracelet that prevents you from leaving and beating the game, sort of.

I was finding the game annoying and the combat clunky/janky but I found out that you are suppose to get Thralls to help you out and that these Thralls do more damage than you do. Finally got my first Thrall and he makes the game a whole lot better and less punishing. He is far more tanky than I.

TIP: If you play on a server make sure to mark it as your favorite so it always appears at the top and you don't have to go looking for it.

I've never left a review for a game until now. I love this game and have thousands of hours of play time on a family shared account (Funcom banned family share accounts awhile ago). I'm incredibly disappointed by the news that a 'battle pass' and 'item shop' will be added. I will not be continuing my journey with Conan Exiles. Such a shame.

The building system has a lot of options and freedom for how you want to make a base. The exploration had been good but I didn't care enough when I'm dying because of an issue inside the game. The combat system is rather jank, commonly getting stuck inside the head of a creature you're fighting. You're limited on stat point distribution.

I played hours of this on PS4, it is a nice and chill game to play. Unless you go into PvP active servers, let's face it, regardless what game if there is PvP, there will be trolls and griefers.

I wanted to see what the game is like with mods and if it works correctly with no crashes then it's even more epic then the base game. Definately worth a try.

This game has some of the best dungeons in a survival game ive seen. Very fun with friends or solo. Great building options, challenging pve content and a reasonably sized world. Lots of fun survival action. Enjoy several hundred hours of gameplay before you even think about reaching a ceiling. Great character animations and models. I continue to come back to this game over and over to see whats new.

For a game that's been out 4 years it's still a shit show. Twice in as many days my body ended up under the ground and lost everything. You're totally dependent on thralls for combat and half the time they just stand there getting pounded without fighting back.

Allen

It's a decent game but Funcom is not about having fun. In PvE official servers they're deleting player builds that are "to big" even though the clan would be active. They don't like it when you build bridges and elevators to gain ez access to locations, they don't like it when you leave maprooms out in the open so anybody can easily tp where they need to be. They don't like it when you help newer players joining the game. They don't like it when you're trying to be helpful to the newbs at all. Decent game but the staff needs reworked before they decide to push this patch out.

Most recent update sucks. The Fort Hall is okay, but I don't like it. It is also annoying that the beach where you start is in its own little world. Quite a bit of camps are missing leaving big open areas now. Just annoying update. Though I recommend the game for building and battling.

Super fun survival game in a large open world. Comparable in some ways to Ark, but with more drive for exploration and levelling instead of just taming creatures. Some of the interactions are a little wonky; i.e. climbing up over a ledge/foundation edge, or engaging in a fight sometimes derps around a bit, but otherwise is still a blast. You can craft so much, explore anywhere on the map, and climb almost anything! I enjoy the fighting style despite (as mentioned before) some interactions being a bit clumsy, and crafting is pretty simple to understand and get the hang of. Anyone who likes survival craft with combat would most likely enjoy this game in my humble opinion.

Eh this is maybe a 7/10
The AI is terrible like 20% of the time, and buggy, and teleport-y. Both your team AI and the enemy AI. It was always like that, and never got fixed.

Progression feels AMAZING though, gathering materials and getting new gear and skills. They nailed it in that part.

The world and lore is beautiful and captivating but immersion gets ruined by cringe AI sometimes (just play on public servers you will know what I mean).

Base building is excellente only if you plan on getting some DLC's, otherwise, it's ok I guess (was never into it anyway).

Getting stun locked to death by 3 skeletons will probably be the most annoying thing you can have in this game, over all, it's chill, and you can take things at your own pace without anything rushing you, wouldn't really call this a "survival game" if the only thing I need to do to survive forever is move 50 meters away from the spawn.

If this whole "battle pass" and "shop" turns out to be more than cosmetics then I will not recommend this game anymore.

Conan Exiles used to be an underrated game. The fighting mechanics are more than adequate for a sandbox survival setting, the building mechanics and capabilities are about as much as we can hope for this day and age, and more than anything the game is just pure brutality at it's core.

It used to be underrated, because the foundation it's built on is solid, the game itself is very solid. But now they went and changed the rules for official servers and anyone who decides to throw any money at this game should be very clear about their TOS. To give an example of how stuffy the rules are; if anyone in your clan breaks any of the guidelines in their TOS everyone in the clan will receive a 14 day (all of your clans assets will decay in 7 days) ban with no warning and little explanation. That is for a first offense, anything after that is a permanent ban from all official servers. For someone like me who has played this game for many years now and has enjoyed some of the crazy drama that had occurred when the devs just ignored our tickets, I'm very disappointed in the way they manage their game now. They used to ignore everything and let everything happen, and honestly that was a much better model. Now they've gone and over-corrected yet somehow at the same time manage to still ignore their loyal customers. A very good game, very poorly moderated.

I guess all I'm saying is, if you're starting now you missed out on the best years this game had to offer. And if you're going to support this game and/or company now you had better follow the rules like a thrall followers their master or you will get banned so fast it'll make your head spin.

This game is awesome with friends, and decent alone.

It may seem like Ark: Survival Evolved at first, but when you peel back the similar systems, there is a lot to it, not a whole lot of it is told to you so there is a lot of exploration both in the systems, and in the world. The map is MASSIVE, and playing on PVP servers can be interesting, however I have definitely had a bit more fun with PVE-C with friends, and there is a ton of PVE content.

There are also a slew of mods, a large majority of them work amazingly, and there are a lot of really amazing dedicated RP servers.

Definitely a game you can dump a lot of enjoyable hours into.

Although I wish I were stronger than my thralls.

I have loved this game since I first picked it up and have intentionally supported the devs by buying every cosmetic expansion pack to this point. They were fairly priced, and it was a good way to support their continuing development of amazing free game content. I was elated to hear about the upcoming sorcery expansion! I have been hoping for this since the game launched. However, within minutes my joy turned to anguish as they went on to announce in the same trailer the upcoming battle pass and in-game shop. This is not what this game needed. Conan Exiles has to this point been a great game that doesn't take advantage of their players. In the trailer they even said, "And if you don't have time to complete the challenges you can always buy levels in increments of 1, 5, or 15 levels!". Each battle pass is going to cost what a content expansion did many times over, and they're selling it to us like they're doing a favor for their players that have busy lives. To players: If you haven't played this game up until now, don't bother. Micro-transactions are bad enough in games like Halo, but they especially don't belong in the survival sandbox genre. There are plenty of other options for games like this. To any devs reading this: I will not spend one more cent on your game so long as you peddle microtransactions.

Coster23

It's an OK game, not bad but not great either. I really feel like this game could've been so much better if they focused on gameplay elements instead of a ton of cosmetics they sell you. They are adding sorcery this year(keep in mind sorcery was planned and promised shortly after release in 2017.... 5 yrs ago). So yea, if you have someone to play with it can be ok, but if you're here expecting Skyrim in the Conan universe you're gonna be sorely disappointed.
