one of the forgotten console exclusives games back on the PS3/360, this game gets a lot of shit because of it's ugliness and for being apparently generic but I really loved it back then and I was very surprised to see that this is available to play with the Backwards Compability integration in Xbox consoles.

the game plays very well, combat is your standard 7th gen hack and slashing game with quick attacks, heavy attacks and grabs but Conan introduces 4 different combat styles that have their own cast of different skills and gameplay, the skill system is very good it really rewards using different abilities/combat-styles and unlocking new skills feels very addictive, sword attacks feel heavy/meaty and the animations effectively make you feel like Conan not to mention the loads of blood flying over the place and heads being ripped out.

the rest of the game is meh really, the story is just there and the game doens't really have some form of connection in the narrative nor it's characters, the voice-acting is kinda bad while the cutscenes look quite good in terms of facial animations.

overall it's an really fun game, it really nails it's combat with lots of different combat styles and skills to use, definitely an game that really makes you want to play again after finishing it just to have fun with the combat-system they created.
