11/12/22-13/12/22 Conan Exiles (No Conan, no survival, no action, no nothing)

  A thorough disappointment:

As an Adventure game, there's no adventure, only mindlessly wandering through the sameish-looking desert, running out of stamina every few seconds

As an Action game, the enemies feel so stupid, so artificial, swarming the player like death-seeking idiots, clubbing without tactic nor reason, and forcing the character to do the same only for them to respawn a few moments later on the same spot.

As a "base builder", it "borrows" the same system as the rest of the games with the huge list of components spamming the craft list, and forcing the nomad character to build a base at a super unreasonable cost of hundreds and hundreds of stone, wood, and fiber plants to make a bench only to reset the grinding process like the worst possible MMORPG

The worst part is that since there's no fast travel, moving in and out of the base is very inconvenient, taking hours and hours in a desert walking simulator.

As a Survival game, survival is as easy as picking random bugs in a bush or killing and chopping whatever puts in front of your path.

The waiting times and crafting queue, elapsing even hours, the crazy crafting costs, the depth-less mobs, the overpowered bosses, the stupid bracelet and "ghost wall" system... Hell! It doesn't even work as a porn game, since for some reason it doesn't allow nudity on single-player. 1/10 

If this looks like a nomad to you, it's time to hit the books

Introducing NO HOPE rating system

The conventional five-star and ten-out-of-ten rating systems have become stale, visually uninspired, and inadequate for capturing the nuance...
