If you think plate armor is unimmersive… wait till you hear about Food Replicators and Force Field Belts in the actual stories.
The Hyborian Age is regarded as the origin of the Sword and Sorcery genre. What is fascinating about it is it is closer to a post apocalyptic science fiction. The Hyborian age takes place between around 12,000-10,000BC with the Thulian age (where Kull of Atlantis takes place) around 10,000 years prior to that.
In both ages they were predated by cataclysms that reverted technological advancement. There were also entities (Serpent Men and Giant Kings) that possessed technological devices that appeared as magic to most humans.
Also the Giant Kings that we see heavily referenced in Conan Exiles are well known to be aliens to the world that the setting takes place.
Finally one should be aware that the real medieval age while possessing technology that was superior to the age that preceded it, also had a technological regression in its own right in some fields. The same happened in the Thulian and Hyborian ages.
