Conan Exiles Reviews

I enjoy Conan Exiles, especially when I’m playing with friends, but the bugs are really starting to wear me down. I’ve had bases glitch out, enemies lag all over the place, and items disappear with no real explanation. After a while, it makes you second-guess putting too much time into the game because you never know what’s going to break next. It’s still a good time when it works, but it really needs some fixes.

I picked it up a few days ago, and right from the start the graphics really stood out to me. After spending a couple evenings with it, the atmosphere still feels seriously brutal in the best way. It has that wild, intense vibe that made me want to keep going back.

I’ve had fun with it overall, but the progression starts feeling grindy after a while. If you’re jumping in, I’d say take your time and don’t rush too hard, because that’s when the grind really starts to stand out.

Modding is one of the things I enjoy most about Conan Exiles, and the site does a decent job pointing you toward the right tools, workshop pages, and basic info. I’ve definitely found useful stuff there, and from the way some of it is written, I get the impression it’s aimed more at people who already know their way around mods a bit.
The frustrating part is when an update breaks something. Finding a clear answer can feel a little all over the place, and some of the guides seem outdated, or at least that’s the vibe I got from the wording. Support isn’t terrible, but it does come across as slow and not super direct. Overall, it’s helpful, just not as smooth as I’d hoped.

It actually feels way smoother after messing with a few settings, even though I kind of wish I didn’t have to tweak anything in the first place. There are still a few dips here and there, but weirdly it bothers me less now because overall it runs well.

I just spent the last few hours trying to figure out the crafting system, it left a bad impression. Maybe it gets better later, but my most recent experience was mostly me clicking around, getting lost, and not really having fun. It feels way more complicated than it needs to be.

I’ve mostly been playing PvE, and I’ve had a good time with it. Since there’s always something to build, explore, or tame, I end up playing for hours without really noticing. The base building is fun, the dungeons are cool, and getting thralls gives me a reason to keep going. Some bosses are tough when you’re solo, so they can feel a little frustrating, and the grind does get old sometimes because progress can slow down a lot. I’ve run into a few bugs here and there, but nothing that ruined the game for me. Overall, the world is interesting and there’s plenty to do

I’ve been playing mainly for the combat, it’s been a lot of fun. The fights feel a bit rough around the edges at first, but in a good way. You actually have to pay attention to blocking, dodging, and timing your hits, especially when some random boss shows up or another player decides to jump you. A few weapons felt kind of clunky to me initially, but once I got the hang of them, the combat started to feel tense, fair, and rewarding

I’ll give them credit where it’s due: the devs respond quickly and actually explain things clearly. I had a question about a bug and expected some generic copy-paste answer, but got a normal, helpful reply from a real person. kind of nice to see they seem to care.

I ended up playing all night after telling myself I’d only hop on for a bit, and the servers were solid the entire time. No random crashes, no lag spikes, nothing weird. I even had a snack break in between and came back expecting maybe some issue, but everything was still running fine

Bottom line: I’m having fun with the game, but the PvP still needs some work. Some matches feel a little uneven, and the balance can be off at times, which makes it frustrating even when the rest of the game is enjoyable.

I really wanted to get into Conan Exiles, but the survival mechanics just wore me out after a while, haha. Food, water, heat, cold, corruption... it starts to feel less like a challenge and more like constant busy work. Half the time I felt like I was fighting menus and timers instead of actually enjoying the world.

I’m sure some people are into that kind of thing, but for me it kills the fun quickly. Dying because some random meter dropped while I’m trying to build or explore is just frustrating. it ended up feeling more annoying than worth my time.

At first I thought the gameplay had a decent amount of depth, and I was into it for a bit. But after spending more time with it, the whole thing started to feel repetitive and kind of hollow. For me, it just wasn’t worth the grind in the end.

I was mostly just messing around with the base game again and started looking through the extra packs out of curiosity. Some of them have a surprising amount of building pieces and little details, which was nice because I like having more options to play with. I grabbed a few while they were discounted, and after spending some time with them, I’d say they felt fair for the price. Probably not something I’d rush to buy full price, but on sale they were definitely worth it for me

I’ve had the most fun just running around the map with friends, finding random caves, strange ruins, and little spots we weren’t expecting. That part makes the world feel worth exploring. After a while though, you do start noticing the rough edges, some areas feel kind of empty, and I’ve gotten stuck on rocks more than a few times, which gets annoying fast. It’s not always smooth, but when you’re messing around with friends, it’s still a good time

I’ve spent hours just building up my base, and somehow I’m still not bored. There’s something really satisfying about starting with almost nothing and slowly turning it into a place that feels like yours. It makes the time I put in feel worth it.

It’s fun, it really is, but the multiplayer can be laggy sometimes. Some matches run fine, and then other times the servers just make it hard to enjoy...
