    The game is as alpha as it gets; so I'm giving it some credit for the massive potential its concept has. But the execution so far has been poor...and the "community". The people who play this game? Foul, antisocial adolescents. Not a game for grown-ups, atm. Or people who prefer not wasting their time with absolutely no defense against griefers.

    Huge potential, but its truly awful right now. Hopefully as the alpha progresses things get ironed out, because the game is simply not fun right now. The general gameplay experience is as follows:

    -Spawn -Get wood -Look for rock -Find no rocks and eventually starve to death naked and weaponless. -Repeat until bored. -Quit. The game is also very laggy, in more than one respect.

    The game is also very laggy, in more than one respect. The servers obviously, but the menus also freeze for a not so insignificant amount of time when navigating and choosing options. The community seems to favor trolls and Neanderthals at the moment as well. I'll check back in a month to see if things have changed, but right now i regret my purchase.    … Expand

I've spent 40 hours playing the game so I have a decent understanding of what goes on. Unfortunately the game takes exactly zero steps to make the game fun for someone who isn't looking to play an fps killfest. It is simply a game of who spends the most amount of time playing killing everyone else on the server. You look no different if you're a fresh spawn, with nothing but a rock in your hands, or an advanced player with a silenced shotgun simply one click away. Because of that, every person you see is kill on sight by default. Admin abuse in this game is legendary, they can spawn whatever they want and they aren't afraid to. After taking your stuff from your base, players often "grief" your base, making it unusable or inaccessible, rendering hours and hours of work useless. Such a good idea for a game made awful because of poor design and a horrendous community. If refunds existed on Steam, I'd get one.… Expand

    Sweet game, till someone teleport's / esp's / aimbot's you...

    I've played this game since it launched experimental, and 1 thing which has stayed true and strong, is the hacking. No matter what actions are taken, (eac / admins) people still cheat at an alarming rate... There was 1 day, when eac updated, and 4,400 people (who logged in were banned) this was maybe 2 months ago.    Sweet game, till someone teleport's / esp's / aimbot's you...

    There was 1 day, when eac updated, and 4,400 people (who logged in were banned) this was maybe 2 months ago.

    uhm thats 1/5th of daily users. lol... 1/5th = 20%... around 20k people play rust daily. 4400 banned one day... (those were active logins OF DAILY PLAYERS)

    so 2 months ago, roughly 20% of players were injecting scripts. Amazing.

    I have never played 1 wipe on any server without hackers, so my 12+ months of playing rust, ive never had a week where i didnt encounter a Hacker, or Hackers. EVEN AFTER EAC UPDATES...

    Honestly rust is really bad for hacks. People dont want to tell you this, cause they want to keep believing and hoping that rust is the best game ever,

    And it is, One of the best games But its being ruined by hackers. Look at cod, look at any game ruined by hacks... THATS THE ROUTE RUST IS GOING. lol.

    COD HAS NO PLAYER BASE DUE TO HACKERS...

    HOW DO YOU EXPECT RUST TO LIVE? lol...

    Google rust hacks, look how many sites come up... LoL...

    Maybe in 5-10 years when rust is complete, maybe they will update the anti cheat... to something useful (not EAC)

    and hopefully be able to actually you know, stop hackers? hahaha...

    This game in its current state, with piss poor optimization, bad hackers, and a really cool concept

    I rate this game a 4/10

    UNTIL IT GETS A BETTER FORM OF ANTI CHEAT.

    If it does ever get a new form of anti cheat, i will edit this review.

    Rust itself is a 10/10 game

    Hackers take away -3

    EAC barely working takes away another -3

    thats -6 off of the high 10/10 score = 4/10

    Hackers and the lack of anti cheat, completely ruin this game for me.

    Good entertainment if you are a hacker. If you are not a hacker, prepare yourself for some serious butthurt. Official servers = hacked, Community servers = mostly hacked, Modded servers = a few hackers, you might get an honest game there.

    This review is from a hacker's viewpoint, as I am one of the hackers. Good Luck with your $20 dollars worth of fun.

Yes, I realize it's Early Access and expecting a polished, complex game without bugs or balance issues is unreasonable. However, this game is absolutely not worth purchasing in its current state. Some people are brand new, confused and having a hard time adapting - they give this game a 0. Others have adjusted very well, explored the majority of the game's offerings and give this game a 10 to balance out the negativity. Let me be honest, this game, in its current state, deserves a 2 at best. Right, I should probably explain why; the bugs. There are tons of griefers and trolls, but that's kind of the nature of any online environment. However, there are also hacks that will randomly insta-kill you. Given the difficulty of the game, being instantly killed can damn near ruin your experience entirely. And it will happen. In addition, certain resources are a nightmare to find that are practically essential early on, such as stone blocks which provide minerals and stones. Above all else, the lag is a nightmare. I understand that they haven't allocated massive funds to servers, but the current status isn't enough to house even a few dozen players without rubberbanding all over the god damn place, which makes the already mundane task of farming resources infinitely worse. In addition, hunting / fighting animals and zombies is brutal with lag. Good luck chasing down a deer when it's teleporting all over the f---ing screen and wolves attack like you're fighting under a strobe light. As far as "end-game" goes, you can look forward to nothing. There is nothing beyond building a crappy wooden fort, building a gun, and shooting zombies. I can honestly say this game has a tremendous amount of potential, but as it stands even SUGGESTING it's worth $20 is an insult to the gaming community and Steam's leniency for Early Access. Avoid it at all costs, or in this case, twenty bucks. Play Terarria or Starbound if you need a crafting / killing fix in the meantime or just wait until the developers drop the price to 5 bucks or at least enter the beta phase. Otherwise, this is a prime example of Early Access being treated like a shady Kickstarter campaign. Garbage.… Expand

    The game is a ton of fun if you're the only person on the server, but since you can't actually run your own private server you're forced to play on a public server and every online-gaming cliched horror story you can imagine will come true within minutes.

    You can rent a hosted server from one of several vendors (and I'm very sure that Facepunch is getting kickbacks on this), but you cannot password protect that server, so you're always going to be open to grief, abuse, and horrible, horrible people.

    Rust is the single worst online experience I have ever had, and the biggest disappointment in video gaming that I've come across in a very long time. Maybe they'll patch it up in a year or so, and if they do (and if I see any reason to subject myself to this kind of torture again in the future) I may come back and update my review.    … Expand

    I'm giving this game a two, and honestly the two points I have decided to grant it is solely consolation for the fact that it is in alpha right now. A lot of people are praising the "potential" and the "brilliant concept", when really, I see none of it.

    The game for one looks horrendous, with an engine that was considered 'decent' graphics about ten years ago in Half-Life 2.

    The game for one looks horrendous, with an engine that was considered 'decent' graphics about ten years ago in Half-Life 2. However, typically I can forgive a game if the only problems I have with it are its graphics. Sadly, you're gonna have to pull out a chair and sit for a while because we've not even gotten to the meat of it yet.

    The game is incredibly boring, especially at the beginning, where you expect me to whack trees with a stone and expect to be having the time of my life. And then once I have sufficiently whacked trees with a stone (top notch entertainment that is) some little terd comes along and murders me with a stick and then cackles like a bloody maniac for 15 minutes (yes, high hopes for the next generation, indeed). If you do happen to get off the ground, get some armor, a weapon, and a few of your friends (preferably the ones that are jerks, their type seems to be addicted to this game), then you're all set for some fun murderous antics, right? Well, murderous antics or not, fun is not part of the equation. You'll walk up with an M4 and shoot some dude walking around with nothing but a medium sized rock and a pair of tattered trousers to their name, and kill them. You'll have your little dance of glee (the d-bag dance as I call it) and move on. And then some other sods who have more gear than you or simply happen to flank you kill you, and do THEIR variant on the dance of glee. Then you cuss...... and cuss...... oh yeah, and cuss a little more. And then you lose your s**t once you find out you lost all your hard earned gear. Then you disconnect from the game, unplug your computer and throw it haphazardly and hit your puppy. Then what have you got? A shattered PC and a puppy with internal bleeding and a broken rib cage.

    Aside from that, the game has a rubbish building system that is fiddly as crap and the end result LOOKS like crap. Not to mention if you want the "lols u canz creates ep1c bazes" effect your silly friends have told you about, that's going to take a hell of a long time.

    What else to talk about.... ah, yes! Shooting a gun in the game feels even worse than shooting guns in Garry's Mod, and it's hard to best G-Mod in that category. The survival systems in the game are usually broken anyway, and even if they did work 100% of the time, you'll die of boredom instead of starvation.

    Overall, I give this game, again a 2/10. A lot of other people giving the game poor reviews are saying "it will probably get better in beta" I can't in good conscious say that. From the 15.4 hours I have played of this game, I can safely say this game is in a very deep pit and it can't climb out.    … Expand

The lag, the hackers, and the spawn griefers need to be dealt with before this game leaves it's Alpha stage. I absolutely do not mind being killed and losing everything I've worked for for a few hours, that's part of the game. But losing it to a hacker that used a speed hack and an insta-kill hack to reach me, that's not fun. People who are established in the game running around the spawn area to one-shot naked men and raid shacks in groups of 10-20...not fun. Give noobs a noob friendly area, perhaps give the more established players a kind-of Utopia to find and live in that's far away from the noobs where they can have their naked man circle-jerk sessions.

    Pros -

    Beautiful graphics, fun gunplay, well done survival mechanic, exciting PvP, solid base building.

    Cons -

    HACKERS and a HEAVY time required investment.

    If you'd like to know why I would not recommend this game with the above given, read below.

    Rust is a game for someone with A LOT of time. The more time you put into the game, the further and further ahead you're going to be against the next guy, even with only a few hours less play time. This benefit is exponential in every sense of the word. As a working, semi responsible adult, I can't dedicate 15 hours a day to play this game.

    As an example, you join a freshly wiped server, including blueprints. You play 3-4 hours, which, to me, is a lot of time, trying to be as efficient as possible to get your base established and maybe even get your hands on a gun to research.

    Your small starter base is done, you've accumulated a decent amount of scrap, metal shards and you even have your tier 1 workbench made. You log off feeling somewhat accomplished.

    The next day, you excitedly hop on once you have the time and get to farming so you can get what you need to make the good weaponry and equipment. To your utter shock and amazement, you're passing bases that are 75% sheet metal and several stories tall...and this is on a SOLO only server.

    To a non experienced Rust player, this requires a significant amount of playtime, work and luck, especially on a solo server. Trying to shrug it off, you make your way to a landmark and start farming scrap and misc. items to recycle. As you're making your way back to base in your wood armor with your crossbow, you get murdered by a player with a semi auto rifle in roadsign armor. Not only did you just lose the few hours worth of time you had for completely nothing, but you're even further behind and now you have to compete with someone with that level of equipment AND play time.

    Sure, slowly but surely, after losing hours upon hours of play time by being murdered by someone with a gun, can you accumulate enough materials to perhaps finally have your own gun and higher tier armor. But then you have to ask yourself, at what cost? Your blood pressure has gone up 10 points, you've gained a few grey hairs and went to bed with numerous headaches over the course of those two weeks. You have to ask yourself, is this REALLY fun?

    I understand this is the nature of Rust and there is literally nothing the developers can do about it. Perhaps I'm penalizing the game by leaving a bad review and maybe I'm wrong for that but I think there needs to be some light shed on the fact that this game requires HEAVY amounts of time.

    Before I exited the game for the last time, I opened up the current players on the server and out of curiosity, looked at their play time for the past 2-weeks. 40% of the server is what I would consider a "normal" range of play time, somewhere in the ball park of 40-50 hours.

    The remainder of the server was in the upper echelons of play time, with 21 people having over 170 hours of played time in the past two weeks. The highest played time I saw for two weeks was hovering right at 200 hours. To break this down in simple math, that's 21 players averaging 12.14 hours PER DAY, farming, building and stockpiling materials with one player averaging over 14 hours per day. I was completely and utterly blown away.

    Sure, I have played a game for 10-12 hours straight but these windows of play time come so far and few between, due to real life, that I might be able to do something like this a few times a year. How some players can do this for at least 14 days in a row seriously blows my mind. Even if I was filthy rich and had zero real life obligations, I couldn't see myself ever putting in 12 hours of Rust per day.

    So unless you are in between jobs, still in school, are filthy rich and prefer to play video games, or have little to no real life obligations as an adult, I can't recommend that you buy this game because you are simply handicapping yourself vs the people who can spend all day and night farming and building.

    TL;DR - Unless you have copious amounts of free time (10-12 hours per day), you will not be able to fully enjoy playing Rust on a competitive level.    … Expand

    Played this game when it was still free on facepunch, i hardly see any major improvements so far, just new items and interface. its still the same going and 20 bucks for it now on steam? ripping off many users on such a poor game even if its in alpha.

    Please save your money and look for other survival games.

This is the development pattern ofAfter four years of development I think it's safe to say this alpha game is not going anywhere quickly. It's seen several systems such as blueprints, experience and now the components. The predecessors of the components system came and went within that 3 year span, one of which didn't even last an entire year it was so terribly thought out and executed. This is the development pattern of Facepunch and it happens way too often to want to support the company or the project any longer. Their planning and management are utterly shameful and the company founder is disrespectful towards his community.

    The game is also being build on an abandoned networking engine that was retired a couple years ago and made open source. Since then, this engine known as RakNet has been neglected for two years without any maintenance. The engine has various issues in several areas and almost all of those bug reports are still open and unfixed. Garry even had to create a library just to get RakNet to work with Rust since Rust is in C# while RakNet is in C++. Why Facepunch chose to stick with a neglected network engine is bewildering.

    Aside from the technical problems in the game, another problem is the community. Rust probably has one of the most toxic and cancerous video gaming communities I ever had the misfortune to see. Don't get me wrong there are some really cool people you'll meet in the community, but generally as a larger whole the community behavior is toxic.

    Another note too is the size of the developer team. Considering the team is a dozen people or more at times they should be miles ahead of other developers who have only a few developers in the team, but they're not. Considering the amount Facepunch makes on sales of this game vs what is being put back into development is not what one could call satisfactory. If this happened in a corporate environment, most of Facepunch's staff would likely be laid off and have to look for work elsewhere. The company wouldn't put up with the level of mismanagement and repetitious nonsensical changes and excuses that never seem to end. There are finished product AAA title games out there for less money than what Facepunch is asking for Rust. That says a lot about the motivations of the developers.

    All in all even though Rust looks all shiny, a polished turd is still a turd regardless of how much you keep trying to shine it up.    … Expand

Даже если брать у вас нечего совершенно, вас все равно будут убивать, вламываться в вашу хилую хибарку деревянную и стрелять с автомата. После того как вас пристрелили голого с камнем раз 10, желание играть резко пропадает. И такое происходит абсолютно на всех серверах. Это что-то вроде гриферов, только бессмысленных и беспощадных. В майнкрафте есть фан разбомбить чужой домик динамитом. Здесь же такого фана нет. И уж тем более в убийстве лысых полуголых обезьян с камнем в руке, которые даже сделать ничего не могут. В довершение всего игра демонически лагает даже на самых минимальных настройках на не самом слабом ПК. Да, это альфа конечно, будут дорабатывать, менять, но кому нужна графика и оптимизация, если игра совершенно не способствует получению удовольствия? В том же майнкрафте можно хотя бы просто строить в свое удовольствие, в шахтах копаться, живность разводить, ловушки, механизмы, схемы строить, изобретать чего-то, исследовать. В Rust ничего этого нет, вообще ничего, бескрайние пустые леса, поля, да скалы, и куча неадекватных, недружелюбных и совершенно чудовищно невоспитанных людей. В особенности это касается русскоязычного населения. Эта игра плоха. И не просто плоха, а ОЧЕНЬ плоха.

И очень жаль что стим захватили вот такие криворукие индиподелки с альфадоступом наподобие Rust, Wasteland 2 за совершенно безумные цены и потрясающе плохим геймплеем и графикой. Игра справедливо заслуживает единицу, и только за счет того, что она может повеселить вас первые минут 30. Дальше идет сплошное разочарование и недовольство.

Yes the community is insanely toxic, probably the most toxic I've ever seen in a game. For me the toxicity can be funny and doesn't bother me, but it can be a lot different for others. You can turn off voice volume and chat to counteract this. Most of the bad reviews I've seen on the game are from people who loose loot a lot and can't compete in pvp. The game requires a lot of practice but can be very rewarding in the future. I understand that you can loose loot to a 6 man clan and you can't do much about it. But there is so much you can do to counter this. You can go on servers that only allow solos or the max team size is three. Most people don't understand that this game isn't just a survival game but is also a competitive shooter. If you are tired of loosing loot then go on a pve only server. But for most people you're just going to have to practice, yes you can loose hours of progress in under a minute but you are also able to get someone else's progress in under a minute. I know it sound cruel but it is true. Thats why pvp is so rewarding, even if you took someone else's stuff, they can still do the same thing to someone else. I like to call this the circle of rust. The gun you just picked up off the guy you killed could've been someone else's gun from many other people that have died. Sure, looting and gathering resources is a major part of the game. But learning pvp and staying calm is a much bigger part. Being able to realize it's just a game and all your loot does not really matter can make the game much more fun. If you don't want to grind then you can easily just mess around with friends or with other people. What you do in the game and how you want to have fun is truly up to you. People dump thousands upon thousands of hours into the game. The game requires lots of dedication, most people probably wont have a lot of fun at the start of their play-through especially if they don't have a friend to teach them. I recommend going on youtube and watching videos to learn the game mechanics. One of my biggest gripes with the game is that it does not cater to new players at all. There is no tutorial at all, so pretty much everyone is going to have to go on youtube to figure things out or have to ask a friend. The game tells you what to do but not how to do it. So thats pretty annoying in my opinion. All in all, I recommend that before you review the game you should try different things and play until you get to endgame, then once you've done that try and make a review.… Expand

    The reason I write this review now is largely down to the progression of development and how torrid the game has become. Updates are horrifically slow and    Rust is yet another early access survival game that everyone has jumped on the bandwagon to. Sadly it is a large portion of this community that has essentially ruined what is already quite a fragile and easy to destroy concept.

    The reason I write this review now is largely down to the progression of development and how torrid the game has become. Updates are horrifically slow and glaring issues which should be getting ironed out are being overlooked. It may be an alpha but there seems to be a real lack of dev support for them to justify a price of £15.

    The game itself is like any other in the growing genre except it can be manipulated with cheats, bad admins and people that are just out of grief/troll. The community is immature and horrible most of the time and it just diminishes the concept as PVP overrides the survival aspect. You can spawn; be killed in seconds and then have to start over. This can happen frequently and even when you finally get some items together and focusing on surviving; you run into hackers which plague the game. The inventory system is quite neat and easy to use but the combat is incredibly ropey along with the engine. Visually the game is bright and pleasing on the eye but the landscape textures are very bland and it's all very copy and pasted. The setting may seem large but it's very repetitive in time.

    Too many people are giving in 10/10 within the first 10 minutes of playing thinking it is the best game ever created. This is a bug-ridden alpha that's probably 3 years of completion and even then; I can't see how they can prevent the community from delivering the final nail in the coffin.

    DayZ may have a catalogue of woes itself but it is probably the best in the genre at this stage. Rust is not unique in any way; it's just a first-person survival game with glaring technical and concept issues that are years from rectifying. For £15 I do not recommend this and in all honesty; even as a F2P game; it wouldn't even be worth your time.

    A horrible experience.    … Expand

    This is a tough one to review. The game itself is quite beautiful and enticing, and was almost just what I was looking for; until I encountered "the game". Conceptually, I think this is a terrific game, but it attracts sort-of psychopathic/sociopathic people, and it ultimately descends into an immobile caste system of predator and prey.

    The idea of pvp in a world of brutal survivalism    This is a tough one to review. The game itself is quite beautiful and enticing, and was almost just what I was looking for; until I encountered "the game". Conceptually, I think this is a terrific game, but it attracts sort-of psychopathic/sociopathic people, and it ultimately descends into an immobile caste system of predator and prey.

    The idea of pvp in a world of brutal survivalism sounded great in theory. I bought the game for $9, which sounded like a deal. When I first started playing, it was the day before a server wipe, so I had a LOT of freedom and really took to the game. The next day, however, was just unplayable. The servers got wiped, and I spent the next few hours of game play unable to even get a base started from all of the people already killing me with guns. So now I'm hoping to get my $9 back. That's how miserable of a time I had after the server wipe. What would normally be considered disposable money, I want back.

    So the game strikes me (after a mere 4 days) as fundamentally flawed. It seems to be fun for people who are well-coordinated with others and just throw unending hours at gameplay, who can then gear up and just slaughter naked people who can't even defend themselves, let alone run away. Conversely, people like me -- someone just trying it out without a network of people to coordinate with yet -- have a nudity simulator, where you get to see how many steps you can take off the beaches of Normandy before you get a bullet to the head.

    pros:
    -if you can get a team together it can be very rewarding
    -survival mechanics can be interesting.
    -you can get creative and build interesting bases.

    cons:
    -many players are 2000 hr+ tryhards. they genuinely ruin the game.
    -playing solo is next to impossible after the BP and upkeep updates
    -grinding is very extensive and unfun, you will be grinding 90% of the time
    -EXTREMELY hostile playerbase & community, expect very few positive encounters
    -resets at the end of every month wipe all progress.
    -nights are pitch black, meaning you will be stuck in your base half the time doing nothing.

    no one I know wants to play rust anymore because they are burnt out from how unrewarding it is as a game.    … Expand

At least their halfway honest I guess. Don't buy. Not even on steam sale. I wouldn't even recommend playing for free because it is so frustrating, hurts the eyes and has no true depth or fun anymore.

    There hasn't been any major PvE content or new gun in years and what's already there is hardly working or balanced.
    The survival mechanics are entirely neglected and easily ignored.
    Every update makes the game worse in various aspects or flops so hard that people forget it even exists after a week.

    The developers are a self-published small indie studio and they HAVE a public testing environment to throw new ideas at but they don't utilize it at all.
    In fact they have only just recently (April 7th 2022) started collecting player analytics with that all but confirming that they had only surface level knowledge of how people play the game really puts the past 9 years of updates and missing balance patches into perspective.

    Changes are small and always out of left field it's often questionable if they are working on the game at all or spending all their time on a new project.
    It takes actual years of constant nagging for the developers to fix glaring issues with them seemingly not understanding the problem in the first place.
    This looks like a lack of passion and direction.

    Rust has only made it this far because of its unique blend of core mechanics and the fact that a highly punishing game like this attracts a player base that isn't easily scared off by 1 bad change a month.
    Of course those unnoticed monthly bad changes stack up and I'm confident in saying that the game is in a much worse state now than it was 2 years ago.    … Expand
