    Excellent game, not as much Survival as people can think, for now, it is mostly PvP and Loot oriented, Crafting system is simple, and base building is even more easy to use. Devs continue to do monthly updates to complete all missing and planned features, as well as fixing bugs as they come.

    Overall great game, great devs team really involved.

I keep coming back to it because it is the only source of genuine adrenaline rushes from any videogame I know and I couldn't recommend it more. One thing though, if you're playing in a small group (1-3 people), don't play in a vanilla server - progression is too slow for most people's tastes (might be appealing if you have enough time and the servers don't wipe on a weekly basis). Instead go for a 2x or 3x server, that way you'll get to see everything the game has to offer. This game is beautiful, both aesthetically and in implementation.… Expand

However, it's in game voip allows you to communicate with others and I have actually talked my way out of being murdered and my precious rock being stolen :) This game is a mix between DayZ and Minecraft. You can farm wood and ore and build up a base and fortify it. You can also craft weapons, gear, explosives and raid other bases and kill people. The reason why I can't give the current version of Rust a 10 is because 1.) Servers rubber band sometimes which makes it a struggle to line up a good shot on people. 2.) Lack of updates (I know they are rebuilding a new version from scratch). 3.) This game can be played solo but it really is built for group play. That being said I have played at least a 1/3 of my hours alone and still had a blast. Overall, this game is a time sink and you will be looking at the clock wondering where the time went. If you are a hardcore survival fanatic then this game is a must buy.… Expand

    Rust it's an open world, survival, crafting, building, sandbox game. Confusing? Well, I've skipped the first person perspective and the fact it is still in early access. What a cliche.

    Rust it's an open world, survival, crafting, building, sandbox game. Confusing? Well, I've skipped the first person perspective and the fact it is still in early access. What a cliche.

    There's not much of a story in the game. You spawn naked in an island, equipped with a rock and a torch, why? I do not know, I have to admit, and your only purpose is to survive... no matter what.

    The game is permanently multiplayer, so you need internet connection at all time. No solo or PvE official servers.

    2- GAMEPLAY

    It's very important to start by saying that this game is not to play alone. If you do not have friends, or you do not like to play in groups you'll have a bad time in Rust. This is not a fase, developers openly state that the game is to be played in clans, and all the changes they made are to nerf the gameplay for the solo player, and to buff the clan experience of the game. Saying that, if you like to play in official game servers, and essentially vanilla, this is not the game for you.

    Fortunately Rust has tons of non official servers, modded, not modded, PvP, PvE... if you can imagine it, you'll probably find it. So, it may take a while but you will surely find a server that you like in this game.

    This seems very negative, but it not ends there. The community is toxic as hell. You will find all kind of negative personalities in this game, most of the time they are together in the same clan, and their sole purpose in the game is to ruin the fun for the other players. In the other hand, and again, if you search carefully, you'll find a server with good and cool people to play in. You just need to be persistent, and not give up.

    It's not over yet. My personal experience in official servers is short, but I admit that is common to find people with hacks. But, generally speaking, no one likes those. Finding people with VAC bans history playing Rust is not uncommon.

    Just to finish the dark side of Rust, clans will raid you to death, you will be door camped, you'll be roof shooted, you'll be griefed, you'll be bashed.

    Still here? Still reading? So everything is bad? No! Rust it's an awesome game, and I love it!

    Starting with the devs. Super active, weekly updating the game. Everything is good in the game? No glitches or bugs? No, but we know that the background team is working all the time, so they are not running away with your money.

    So, what do you do in Rust? You grind, you craft, you hunt, you craft, you build, you grind, you craft, you raid, and you're raided. Most of all, you can choose how to play the game, you can find the Rust you like and play it. Even if you want to play solo, like I do, you can find a server for solo players where you are not always in disadvantage against big clans.

    Base building plays an important role in the game, and you'll spend some time building, improving and optimizing your base.

    Maybe the most important aspect of Rust is the social one. You have to talk to people, making friends or allies is very important. Your allies and you can make a good defensive block against raiders, and ultimately that can mean that at the end of the day you are alive and with all your stuff.

    I've met a lot of cool people in Rust. One of the only games that make me add friends to my Steam's friendlist. We plan and share stuff (game related) when needed, and we simply care with this new friends ingame status.

    PvP is the core of the game. You can find great PvE servers, with great people and admins, but to play Rust you'll surely spend most of your time with PvP. And Rust is unforgiven. It's brutal in his essence. You will lose your stuff. You'll lose it, surely more than once. You have to know how to accept that. If you're unable to accept that concept, Rust it's not for you, just play "Don't Starve Together". Improve you fighting skills, be smart, and you'll be fine.

    3- CONCLUSION

    Rust is now priced at 19,99€, but is quite common to find it on sale, or in a bundle. I've purchased the game in a bundle, and I was not very enthusiastic about playing it. I've tried it and now I'm completely hooked. I'm addicted. I love the game and it worths the pricetag with or without a sale. So be sure to try it.    … Expand

    Rust is very much a love or hate relationship. Taking a step away from most survival games but still being recognisable. The game has good systems in place and has evolved a lot since its first early access iteration. Still the community is salty and people who do not like so raw experiences should not buy this game.

    Rust is advertsied as an Alpha - in reality it's a completed concept game - there is a new one coming, but what it encapsulates and what all the 'nay-sayers' are missing is the beuty and purity of the sheer brutality of this game.
    You start naked with a rock.
    You need food to survive, but you don't have any. depending on where you spawn you could walk for days without seeing anything,    Rust is advertsied as an Alpha - in reality it's a completed concept game - there is a new one coming, but what it encapsulates and what all the 'nay-sayers' are missing is the beuty and purity of the sheer brutality of this game.
    You start naked with a rock.
    You need food to survive, but you don't have any. depending on where you spawn you could walk for days without seeing anything, and there's a pig....just one little pig....chewing the grass...minding its own business. You sneak up behind it and spend 5 minutes smashing it's little face in until you get a dead pig which you can then strip raw chicken breast from (yes that's right. The chicken breasts are just behind the pork loins."
    "Great!" you scream through the game's built in speech" FOOD! I can survive!" You eat the raw chicken get food poisonning and die.
    Then you respawn and learn how craft a fire to cook it on etc and so the crafting system starts to expand until you can make guns and C4 explosives, along with buildings which are rudimentary structures in wood or metal.

    The potential screams at you in this game, and to top it off everyone's tryoing to gather and harvest so most of htep layers you come accross want you for your stuff - never trust a naked man - they always have a shotgun and will let it off in your face and rob you. You then start again with nothng.

    When it happens to you you want ot break something in real life, when you do it to someone else it's the funniest and most rewwarding things that can happen in a game, and never before has Nerd-Rage becomes such a fundamental tennet.

    It's true it's limmited.
    There is no map - but the map is not randomly generated - you learn landmarks, and where to hide. The first time you see the guy that shot you wander into his house and log out with a "ZZZZZZZZZIIIIP" of the sleeping bag and cave his door in to rob all his stuff is the day you realise what other games are lacking and that is the true freedom for moral choice. Not guided by queslines or picking yes/no answers but whether or not you will tolerate your fellow players to construct an impenetrable citadel or be a complete prick and kill everything on site. This version is limitted. Pay the £15 gladly in the knowledge that you will fund those who care about this to create more and realise the full potential.

    I don't care what anyone says, yes it has its flaws, yes it can be better, but for it's sheer simple, brutal naked stripped down and bare essential gameplay, if you can find a crowded server with no hackers it will be a game you never stop playing. There is no other game that does this. DayZ does not do this.

    If the second iteration of this game is realised - and it's being developed as we speak, there is a glorious golden-zen age of gaming coming, where whiners have their houses broken into and all their stuff nicked, apart from some rocks, which can be left as a souvenir, like a horses head on the pillow next to you in the morning....    … Expand

    For an alpha release this game is great. It has quite a bit of potential. You can build and fortify you base. You can friend other people in the server and form alliances, or go solo and most likely die. The key to this game is grouping up with others.

    The game is still in early development thus having small bugs is okay. As for the community, it's pure cancer. There is very high possibility to get killed on sight. Large groups of players have a lot of advantages over solo players, making the game very hard for the lone wolves. I do not recommend playing this game alone as it will be extremely hard to keep up with other players.

    Many people may not like this game due to the PvP nature of it. Starting out you will find it very hard to survive as you need to get wood, food and preferably cloth all before being killed by somebody.
    Upon logging out your character will lay on the ground asleep and you can be killed during this time so if anyone has enough C4 you are pretty much guaranteed death while offline unless you have a great base or amazing hiding place.

    There are however servers hosted by players in which they can toggle PvP off (I myself have not played one of these yet as I don't find it appealing without the PvP aspect). They can also toggle off things like when you go to sleep your body will not be on the ground which can be good but at the same time you feel like it can make it a little easy in later stages of the game.
    I highly recommend finding people to play with as by yourself it can be extremely hard.

    Rust has so much potential and I expect we will see great things come from it because it is still so early in its life.
    If you aren't ready to drop $20 on Rust yet I would say you should check back in a couple of months and see how far it has progressed as I imagine it'll have a whole lot more by then.

    TL:DR: Rust is a great game with heaps of potential, but currently it is lacking features and does have the occasional bug as it is in Alpha. Saying that, it is still a great game so far.    … Expand

    This game is very dependent on a number of factors, including server, friends, and overall attitude.

    Some servers that you get on in the game have more hackers than others as indicated below. It is sometimes a challenge to find a server with good staffing and admins, but once you do, this problem is almost non-existent. If you continue to have issues with it, do some research to find a good server, and try to befriend an admin or two so you know when they are on.

    This game is also very heavily group-based. If you find yourself a good set of friends to play with, it deters a lot of people from attacking you, as well as making starting off easier. Try to find some people to play with and your game play will increase tenfold.

    I also put attitude here, because you have to be okay with dying. If you have a problem with that it's not the game for you. People try to kill you. That's it. The game is kill or be killed, or hide long enough to get settled. If you cannot get started easily, try to find a friend or two to play with and it makes dying not as unbearable. Also, the friendlier you are to others, the friendlier they will be back to you (usually), with this in mind you can make allies and trade with others, but it all depends on what your mindset in-game is.    … Expand

    This game is everything you could want in a real apocalyptic survival game. First and foremost, it is in beta, any complaints about lag, glitches and the like are just silly because that's the whole point of a game going through alpha/beta, otherwise it would just be called released.

    Second and what should be more important: gameplay. The concept is basic but great, you wake up with    This game is everything you could want in a real apocalyptic survival game. First and foremost, it is in beta, any complaints about lag, glitches and the like are just silly because that's the whole point of a game going through alpha/beta, otherwise it would just be called released.

    Second and what should be more important: gameplay. The concept is basic but great, you wake up with nothing (realistically no stat pants couldn't hurt haha) and every piece of resource you need you have to gather. One issue on some servers is that resources aren't spawning quickly enough or at all from what I hear, but that's because the game is in alpha... aside from spawning rates resource execution is great, maybe in the future they will reskin some rocks to look like discarded metal for realism, but as far as gameplay goes it's all the same. In a real survival situation you wouldn't find piles of a variety of resources naturally, just some wood and minerals. Animals are scarce in some areas and that's completely realistic too, unless you're on a farm, if there was real life apocalypse you would not see bears and boars walking around main paths constantly.

    The sleeping bag is a great feature. You can save a spawn point and use a metal door to hopefully keep your things safe. This allows you to actually form alliances and make friends, but doesn't add a "haven/neutral" point in the game which makes it so much more exciting.

    Lastly community discussion. Yes, the people are mean and vicious, and perhaps they are kids (I like how that's become an insult these days, it's a videogame for Christ's sake!). This is what makes this game great. Who expects there to be tons of people out there willing to help others and extend trust and a welcoming hand to total strangers in an apocalypse? Most people you run into will be desperate and selfish, some well run the other direction because they are scared, lots will become bullies because they can and a few will begin to band together in these beginning stages of hard times. This is what I've come across so far playing the game, and this is what makes it pee your pants scary...what I assume you were looking for when you bought this game.

    For anyone who wants a nice community with easy to gather resources and mobs that hit you for 3% of your health, play minecraft. For those who played for 30 mins or an hour and got tired of crap server lag and crashes, and glitchy gameplay just keep in mind it's in alpha and will get better. If you don't have the patience put it on the backburner for later enjoyment!    … Expand

For those of us that enjoy being a part of the process to making a great game, Rust is an absolute gem in the making. The crafting options and capabilities for an alpha are extensive, and the amount of different things you're able to do to improve yourself and your base are vast. I'm glad that zombies aren't a big part of the game, but I was quite surprised with just how well the radiation towns are balanced. They give you enough time to get in and out before death, but you can't stay long without pills or anti-rad clothing.

    WARNING: at this point there are plenty of exploits as IT'S AN ALPHA! Meaning, there are a lot of hackers and it can be really annoying when you are heading to an air drop and are suicide hacked, losing everything you're carrying. So be careful when going on long adventures until some of these hacks are rooted out. Aside from the hacks and the annoyance of trying to get a good thing going with lots of shoot on sight kids, this game is absolutely great. The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 right now is because I think there is lots of improving to do before the final release and I can't wait to see that product.    … Expand

    Rust is the closest thing to real life that you'd get if you dropped a bunch of guys off on an deserted island.

    Starting off naked you earn everything you use... down to medical supplies, food, clothing, and weapons. So when you earn these weapons you appreciate them, and you tread lightly.. which is another pro about this game you'll likely if ever experience anyone running and gunning. There is too much to lose.

    The greatest satisfaction is building your house and living in it, getting supplies running into weirdos and some cool people. Rust is the most authentic social experience you'll get in a game.

    Within a week of playing it the graphics drastically improved. Some reviews people had issue with the graphics, the graphics look fantastic and some models and animations are still in development.

    I once met a group of 5 guys and we had a campfire and cooked food and held it down at night as people passed through camp. I felt like I was actually camping... cool experience.

    Hackers suck. When you launch the game you get a huge warning of hacking and if caught you'll be kicked off the servers forever. Yet, the game is littered with hackers and they aren't shy about admitting it. Some can walk through walls, jump high, speed run, and auto-aim kill from 100 miles away. Keep telling yourself it's an Alpha and pray it gets better.

    I must say I've been playing games since the Atari 2600 and even in Alpha, I'd say that Rust is my most favorite game I've played.    … Expand

Yes, the community is exactly as bad as you think it is, but likely one of the reasons for the kill-on-sight mentality in the game is because you can never tell who is armed and who is not, better to kill everyone than be killed yourself, mostly. I do take off a couple points for this because despite being an excellent game, the community does slightly ruin it, and because the developers are a bit quiet on some subjects. Granted there is information posted to several sources (their own site, Trello, Facebook and Twitter,) they are not very active on the place that really started it all: the forum. I would give them a solid 9/10 if only the developers were a bit more active in talking through suggestions on the forum (and believe me, there are TONS of them.) What ends up happening is that people suggest ideas, and then sometimes you end up seeing it on the Trello.
    In a nutshell, this is an excellent game with a ton of potential, its only weak spot is the community and developer activity on the forum. Other than that, I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

    I give this a 8 because its early alpha (that isnt bad) but it delivers to the key points of a survival game, With bugs that drench the game (once again its in alpha) but im subtracting that due to its early stage I like playing it with friends alone is a bit boring. The graphics are OK I like the style setting of a remote island. Gameplay is very tense when you face life threatening situations.

    I awoke in a meadow. There was a forest to the east, and some cliffs to the west. I saw what appeared to be a pig and I felt a bit hungry. I knew I had to eat, so I picked up a large rock and attempted to kill it. It ran faster than I could while swinging that rock. Somehow I had to fashion a better weapon for hunting or I knew I was going to starve. Suddenly it occurred to me, I couldI awoke in a meadow. There was a forest to the east, and some cliffs to the west. I saw what appeared to be a pig and I felt a bit hungry. I knew I had to eat, so I picked up a large rock and attempted to kill it. It ran faster than I could while swinging that rock. Somehow I had to fashion a better weapon for hunting or I knew I was going to starve. Suddenly it occurred to me, I could make one of those stone axes like the native Americans used to make. I took my large rock and slammed it against a large rock formation several times. Bits and pieces of stone flew off and some of them looked pretty wedge-shaped and sharp already. That will do. I tried the same thing against a tree trunk and was able to get several long chunks of wood from the tree. I fashioned a stone ax by tying a wedge of stone to one of the long slivers of wood. “She'll do in a pinch” I thought as I gave the ax a couple of test swings.

    Luckily the pig that I had chased before wasn't too far away. Apparently it had figured that I gave up the chase and went on rooting for, well, whatever it eats. I snuck up on the pig with my new ax in hand. When I was close enough, I bashed the pig right in the head. It took off seemingly unphased by the blow to the skull! The chase was on. It took eight blows to take that pig down! But finally I had some meat and other materials that I could use to make a variety of things to survive. I hunted down several more pigs in case I needed more food and material to last the next few days.

    It was cold out, and I had no proper clothing. I used my stone hatchet to chop some wood. Initially I thought about using the wood for a fire, but then I saw some dark clouds from the west approaching. I proceeded to chop enough wood for a small shelter, just to get me by for a few days. I picked a place high up in a rocky hill with plenty of cover to place my shelter; there were only a couple of access paths to it, and I figured I would build some barricades to block the paths for extra protection. I then built a small fire inside the shelter and laid down a sleeping bag that I had built with the pig skins from the pigs that I killed earlier. At least I could sleep with some comfort tonight.

    The next morning I woke and the fire I had started the night before was reduced to smoldering embers; but the meat that I had cooked was done and edible. I decided to go out and collect more resources; mostly wood. I was going to build a small house. Later that evening after a long day of hunting and woodcutting, I returned to the shelter to relax. I placed the meat that I had harvested through the day in to the fire to cook. I drifted off. I was awaken suddenly by a pounding sound and scratching on the shelter door. There were several moans and screeches outside. It was terrifying. What mad men were playing games with me? It was no beast, it was people! I figured that they were bandits, or crazy people or something. I quickly doused the fire so that they wouldn't see the glow through the cracks of my shelter; it was probably too late for that. I waited, and waited...the pounding and scratching went away. Was I safe? I didn't know.

    This game has incredible potential! It is, in my opinion, the best survival game in the making. The zombies aren't overwhelming, and the hunting, gathering, and building will keep you busy for hours!    … Expand

So, if you are the sort of person who enjoys tension in online PVP games, this should sound very good to your ears. And Rust honestly delivered in building that tense, insecure atmosphere in my first couple of hours. You start naked, with a piece of rock. You mine ores, destroy trees, build your first weapon and just try to survive. Any animal, any player is your potential murderer and players won’t hesitate to murder you and loot all your things.

    The more I played though, the more I observed how this is not a game “for me”. Even when you are offline, your base can be raided and everything you have can be stolen. The community is beyond toxic, but that’s kind of expected for this sort of game. Servers usually reset weekly, biweekly or monthly, preventing many players from everlasting slavery and giving everyone a chance to start on equal terms. But that comes with a caveat: All the benefits you earned by your grinding will be lost no matter what.

    Also, it should be mentioned that Rust offers some “lite” pay-to-win items. You can purchase things which appear to be only cosmetic, but do actually provide some gameplay advantages.

    Rust is a good game for people with a very specific taste in games. It achieves what it’s going for, but ultimately is not a game most people would be willing to invest their time in, including myself. If you are a solo player, stay away from Rust. If you have limited time to invest in one game, stay away from Rust. If a mature community is important for you, stay away from Rust. But if this type of extremely unforgiving game is what you and your group of friends are looking for, you may actually love it.

    Rust is a game which you will either love or hate, there is no in between, you either have 2 hours, or you have 2000 hours, only the toughest will survive i can not stress this enough, the game is mentally and physically challenging, it is a TRUE survival, the feeling of getting making your first base, crafting your first gun, killing your first enemy, making neighbours, making friends,Rust is a game which you will either love or hate, there is no in between, you either have 2 hours, or you have 2000 hours, only the toughest will survive i can not stress this enough, the game is mentally and physically challenging, it is a TRUE survival, the feeling of getting making your first base, crafting your first gun, killing your first enemy, making neighbours, making friends, them friends betraying you, you getting revenge, this game is a emotional roller-coaster and is not for the lighthearted, it will have the biggest ups and the lowest downs, you can not judge this game with 100 hours of experience, nor can you with 500 hours, it takes a lot of dedication and time to master, most people don't master it, most people quit the first couple of hours, they don't have the patience.

    To sum the game up in a couple of words, its kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, everything about this game is hard, the players, the animals, the gun mechanics, you will constantly be looking over your shoulder, the smallest decisions make the biggest impacts, only the toughest will survive, and i mean it.

    This game is like a part time job, if you can handle it, good, get it, and if you do, i wish you luck.    … Expand

    this game is addicting and fun especially with friends. after the recent updates the game has gotten more optimized and if your game doesn't run good its probably because you don not have 16 gigs of ram.It gets more fun as you play because you get better and then your able to clap kids

    Best game
    so funny
    you have to choose servers wisely
    it need very unique kind of people
    because when you die you loose everything if you don't have a base
    but if you want to build a base it's easy when you are not close to a monument but anyone one to be close to monuments to boost progression and have advantage against other players .
    IN RUST DON'T TRUST ANYONE

With 2K hours under my belt, I feel that I have a pretty good stand point from which I can leave a review. This game will frustrate you, demotivate you, and make you rage quit countless times, but it will also be the most rewarding, adrenaline-fueled adventure that you can get from a video game. Other survival games just don't compare to the savage, hierarchical nature that you find in Rust.

    So many of the negative reviews that I see on here come from players who have complaints about not being able to get a start on a server as someone who is new to the game. If you don't have the wherewithal to learn how to get past the initial barriers that may seem impossible at first, this game is just not for you. If you don't have the guts to play rust, then you shouldn't leave a scathing review because you weren't able to build a base right away after only a few hours of game play... Part of being a new player is dying... a lot.. Rather than dismissing the game, you should spend time on a low pop server to avoid the unforgiving nature of starting out solo on a server with 200 people on it. Welcome to rust BTW. Don't let the door hit you on your way out

    My only real issue with rust is the fact that there are the myriad of bugs that can sometimes affect the outcome of interactions between players (especially in pvp situations) - minicopter control issues, instantaneous death bugs, etc. It always sucks to lose your gear to some broken game mechanic. The community can be very toxic as well, but that's just something you have to get past if you want to enjoy this game.

    Yes - Rust brings out the toxics, the sociopaths, and the pvp chads that will leave you penniless, but under the surface there is a community of decent people that are willing to become allies or even friends if you earn their trust. If you are looking for a game with incredible building mechanics and pvp battles that will get your blood pumping, then play Rust.    … Expand

    This game gets a lot of things right, the only thing it doesn't? Being bad. If you put the time into this game, and you love first person open world PvP, this game will be super rewarding. It's not about the loot. It's not about building a base. This game is a PvP game, if that's not for you that's all on you. Also, if you suck at playing a game that doesn't make it bad, that makes you bad.

    Rust was almost a job for me for a while. I played the game all the time because I just wanted to survive and build the best base and that's actually a plus and minus of the whole game. I'll try to explain it to you. I don't play the game today and I don't know if anything has changed, but I will be based on what I experienced and what it was like. I learned about Rust from a friend that this is such a real Minecraft in multiplayer. Subsequently, I saw a few of Pedro's videos from the game and I really liked the game overall. So I decided to buy it and try it. I was really satisfied. So I also recommended the game to friends from my area, and Rust just bought one of them. He was happy with the game as well, so we started playing the game together on one server. We played the game here and there once a week. It didn't take long and we lost everything. Our house, raw materials, our items. We have found that Rust is not just a game for a Saturday night, but a game that you have to play regularly every day for a few hours to have the best ingredients and to regularly maintain your house, which will decompose over time and therefore you have to constantly harvesting wood. So we played the game actively, especially me even without my already mentioned friend with the intention of getting at least some raw materials, so that I don't wake up the next day with the fact that our bass was killed by some fighters. Let me tell you, I haven't experienced more stress in the game than here. Not just me. Even my friend, with whom I played the game, said how stressful it is that the next day, for example, our 100 hours of logging will be discarded. The game, which should be fun, has literally become a survival of survival, where we tried to be the best we could. As a result, I don't know if it was good or not. On the one hand, we were scared that someone would be one step ahead with better equipment and destroy us, and we would lose everything, but on the one hand, no game could create such a sense of survival in me as Rust. So this would be the end of my little story about how my friend Rust and I were mating. When I look back at the game and think about what it was like, I thought in the final that it was great. Although at that moment it was a few hours of struggling and trying to survive, but in retrospect I like to remember how my friend and I were always afraid to turn on the game the next day, if we are alive at all and there was no one stronger and didn't have time to kill us. So for me, this is a great game. Do you want a proper multiplayer survival? Okay. Rust is a great choice, but don't forget that you have to immerse yourself in the game fully and forget about the real world, because if you don't play the game enough, the stronger one will just kill you one fine day and that's beautiful for Rust :) :D    … Expand

    People who are complaining about toxicity and griefing are not very smart. The whole base game is build around that but if you don't like that stuff and still want to play the game there's like hundreds of roleplaying and pvp disabled servers where you might have more fun especially if your new.

    I don't know why this game was so underrated as it is really good.

    The only thing I don't like at all is that you cannot change your character's appearance: as it seems the developers decided to force this situation because they want to send a politically woke message to have other understand what it means to be born in a person that you don't want to be.

    pass through textures (yeah it is nothing for many people but it would be pleasantly if there were less such bugs), what isn't cool. And it is a problem of Unity. Second problem is cheating in Rust! Well i'll start by saying, that EasyAntiCheat is the worst AntiCheat to my mind. I remember, that in one game i have crashed many times (it wasn;t Rust, It was Dead By Daylight) and problem was in this AntiCheat. There are many cheaters on the official servers of Facepunch, and they get banned after along time. That's why it;s better to play on the servers with Mods, because they have moderators.
    Also i forgot to say about spawning. Usually i spawn in the textures and sometimes it happens that I spawn and immediately die.
    Well it was all minuses of this game that i know, that;s why my rate is 8.6, and rounding it turns out 9.
    The game is very addictive, and the idea is very interesting, they say only the best survives. All these ideas with house raids, oil rigs and ships loot are very cool. Yes, it also happens that you can become very angry in this game, but the main thing is to get pleasure from it and play with friends.    … Expand
