Conan Exiles
Conan Exiles is an open-world survival game set in the universe of Conan the Barbarian. Players must survive in a deserted open world by gathering resources, crafting tools and weapons, building shelters, and fighting enemies and hostile creatures. Such as when playing ARK, in this game you can build elaborate structures and engage in PvP combat, the difference is that instead of a prehistoric theme, in Conan Exiles you’ll be experiencing a raw and barbaric environment.
