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

Another one in the endless survival genre.
I grow a little sick and tired of the same concept over and over again. After I got bored out of my freaking mind with Atlas, Ark, Minecraft, Valheim and many more, someone recommended Conan Exiles when I was on a LAN Party. Drunk and foolish, I bought the full forty dollar game and added this action to my list of regrets.
Conan Exile is exactly the same as any other game in this genre. You start with a weak, empty character, need to find plant fibers, wood, stones, and food. You build a little cabin, search for more food to prevent starvation, and just ***ing build stuff and kill tribe warriors and wildlife to level up. When leveling up, you increase some stats, unlock new sh!t to build, and that’s it. No endgame, no completion, just become stronger and “dominate”. Sure, there are fortresses to conquer, other players to kill, certain events and missions, caves to explore, but it still feels so generic and lacks any form of innovation in my opinion. When playing with friends, this game is (like any other game) a lot more fun, but even then, after you build a nice house, and found some resources that you needed to craft better sh!t, the boredom kicked in fast.
From all the open world survival games, this one has the best atmosphere, I give it that. The massive world itself, the biomes, locations and geography are appealing. If I ever have to torture myself again for a few hours with some friends, I would pick this one over Ark or Atlas anytime.
Nevertheless, Conan Exiles made me realize (even tough I already could have figured that out by now) that open world survival games are not for me. With a steady pattern of playing with friends, I could enjoy myself for some time, but when reaching high level, fun and joy flows out of me and I immediately lose interest.
I would not recommend this game. Not because of my own personal experience, but because it does not have anything interesting, innovative or unique to add.

The game isn't by any means bad but its overall enjoyment value is, occationally, heavily impacted by a wide range of inconvenient design choices and performance issues on console.
