The Steam user Yenzear created an in-depth review of Conan Exiles and mainly praises the large game world and the in-depth crafting system. He summarizes his opinion of the game as follows:
Conan Exiles manages to balance between an MMORPG with its massive boss battles and instances and a sandbox survival game. While the sandbox part comes with some (presumably necessary) limitations, I think the feat has been achieved. A recommendation from me.
However, there is criticism for technical issues, including crashes and high ping on official servers, as well as for the community, which is said to be very toxic on some servers.
How many players does Conan Exiles have? In the last 30 days, the survival MMO had an average of 10,331 players and a peak of 18,168.
Since December 2019, it has maintained a relatively stable level. There should be enough players available.
Who is the game for? Conan Exiles is aimed primarily at adult players who like it tough and are not deterred by a steep learning curve. Fans of Conan the Barbarian will also find a lot to enjoy here.
The game is not easy and is among the trickiest survival games on the market. The realistic and brutal world is open to explorers and fighters alike.
