Disappointing

Conan is in someways satisfying and in other ways very disappointing. A positive is definitely the many different ways to gruesomely kill enemies.  Slicing enemies arms and heads off or skewering the enemy onto a fence is very satisfying. Also the environments, especially the beach areas I really liked the feel of.

The negatives for me were the voice acting, boss fights, camera issues, lack of atmosphere and length of the game. I managed to finish it in just under 6 and a half hours and with no multiplayer or online play it was over all too quickly. 
For me there was just something missing, the boss fights seemed anti-climatic and the story line wasn't really hooking me in. 
I would say an good rather than great  game, worth a hire as you can easily finish it over a weekend but overall a bit disappointing.
