Conan Exiles Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
When I was assigned Conan Exiles for review, I was hesitant to jump in because I though the game was a MMO (I had confused it with Funcom’s Age of Conan) and I had heard some complaints from friends about the game’s early access struggles. It took less than an hour of playing before I had bought in to the world of Conan Exiles. 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...
Conan Exiles, the open-world crafting survival game has officially released on all platforms such as PS4, XB1, and PC. Take on the ruthless world set in the Conan universe, create your very own unique character, and survive everything the world has to throw at you. Build a base, or a quiet cottage, and set forth on adventures so grand you'll be wanting to bring your friends along with.
Conan Exiles takes a more mature approach to the survival/crafting genre and fulfils all your barbaric desires.

Conan Exiles is often slow and arduous, but even after 70 hours – 40 since launch – the idea of returning to the Exiled Lands still holds some allure. Crafting is largely a tedious grind, especially the higher up you get in the crafting tiers, and it’s surprising that in a world about brutal combat, Conan Exiles falls flat there. However, the beautifully realized world is a joy to explore and it nails the atmosphere of the source material.
Conan, the creation of author Robert Howard has long been the standard to which all barbarian tales are told. In his grim, terrifying world of blood and
Part survival game, part Conan, and part trying to figure out how to even play. Our Conan Exiles review dives into early access PC title turned PS4 release to see how the port fares.
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.
Released on the 9th of this month, the latest survival game to hit the market, Conan Exiles, survival meets Cimmerian savagery, is ready to enthrall the masses.
Survival genre may be in twilight years but a release that looks like the light at the end of the tunnel still happens now and then. Conan Exiles definitely aims to fulfill that role, but Funcom have a very long road ahead of them.
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.
