EARLY ACCESS REVIEW POSTED: 30 APRIL
I bought this about a year ago, played it for an hour, and refunded it. It was terrible. There was not one single redeeming factor outside of the lore.
What this game is today is nothing short of a miraculous turn-around in the gaming industry. I have never seen a game go from absolutely unplayable to the greatest game of its genre. And make no mistake, this game is certainly the greatest in the genre.
It is rare that I re-visit a game. I cannot express how glad I am for giving Conan Exiles another chance.
+Fluid gameplay. No stutters, no crazy pop-in.
+Combat is great. You’ll get your fill of gore from this one.
+Building mechanics are top shelf. The breadth of construction capabilities is large, and the crafting mechanics are sound, fun, and challenging.
+Solo play? No problem! The thrall system can offset any online difficulty. One man can do a LOT of damage in the game. The solo “campaign” is also very fun.
+Lore. I mean… it’s the Conan ip. It captures the atmosphere very well.
+No dinosaurs.
+Native 21:9 Support
+Graphics options allow a large range of pc’s to perform well.
+PERFECT game to watch Netflix, Youtube, or listen to podcasts to.
-Rocky, rocky start. It is going to take a lot to convince prior players to give it another shot.
I genuinely cannot think of any other cons. This game is amazing.
