    [​IMG]PCGamesN has checked out Conan Exiles:

    What does Conan Exiles bring to the saturated survival genre?
    While Lord of the Rings, and more recently A Song of Ice and Fire, are the books that frequently serve as the starting point of a love affair with fantasy, it was Robert E. Howard and L. Sprague de Camp's Conan yarns that solidified my obsession with the genre.

    Conan: Exiles is the latest attempt to transpose the harsh Hyborian Age from the pages of comics and novels to video games. Previous attempts have largely been rubbish, aside from Age of Conan, a mixed bag with some standout moments. But perhaps Exiles can finally give Conan's universe the game it deserves while at the same time spicing up what has rapidly become a rather saturated genre.

    A multiplayer survival/crafting game doesn't immediately scream Conan, a character who never dawdles and would be far too busy decapitating sorcerers and stealing magical gems to waste time gathering the materials to build an ugly hut. But you're not Conan. In Exiles, you're just some random person getting crucified. The titular hero does appear for a moment, but then promptly buggers off to let you play a survival game.
