Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the game has seen its highs and lows since its 2008 release, it still offers a deep, immersive experience with fast-paced, action-oriented combat that’s rarely found in the genre.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Especially day and night mechanic was kind of interesting in making a night single-player-like experience, meanwhile day is staying as multiplayer, but it's too simple to change the whole atmosphere and doesn't even have any impact after level 20.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For a game released in 2008, Age of Conan’s graphics still hold up remarkably well.
Story

40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The narrative design in these first 20 levels is immersive, with personal quests that help you feel connected to the world.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is equally impressive, with the clashing of swords, the cries of battle, and the ambient noise of cities and wilderness all adding to the immersion.

16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
