    Rust is a fun survival game which is especially fun with friends. You'll need to give it some time as there is a lot to learn but when you get a hang of it it's easily one of those games where you can spend numerous hours.

    Its crazy how a game can sometimes be so fun and so frustrating at the same time. I have more than 3000 hours on the game, I am still not very good at pvp but for some reason, I really like trying my best to get the most I can, as a solo or with a team, I always have fun. I have been playing it the past 3 years and ive seen a lot of people complain about the updates we get but personally,Its crazy how a game can sometimes be so fun and so frustrating at the same time.

The bad side of the game is more because of the players. There are really nice people in the game, but its true most are toxic, although this is an aspect of the game and how brutal it can be, and in my opinion it makes it fun. It all goes down hill when the players start cheating and ruining everyone elses experience. When I get killed and lose all my stuff, its frustrating but i know its part of the game, but when a cheaters takes everything from you, there is nothing you can do and thats what has ruined the game for me a couple times. Other than that, I love the game and will keep on playing it.… Expand

    Rust ofrece una experiencia desafiante y gratificante en un mundo hostil. Sin embargo, la toxicidad en la comunidad, la pronunciada curva de aprendizaje y los problemas de optimización afectan la calidad. Considera estos aspectos antes de decidir si es el juego adecuado para ti.

    Great game, loved playing it, sure the players are bad sometimes, but that's not the games fault, I had a great time grinding while fighting. Game-play and graphics are great, I think that other people that put negative reviews just get killed a lot and are the salty kind, which I have been like there. But yeah, 10/10 would recommend to everyone! :)

    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.

    I have played this game for many many hours. Its addicted and really good. I do not understand some of this stupid reviews. A guy given this zero rating yet says he played the game a year 3639 hours and he gives it zero score. so why did he play it for al those hours and give it zero scores. Makes no sense alot of the zero score reviews.

    Maybe the most dynamic and fun game I've ever played. Always updated with new and better systems/cool things. The game is GORGEOUS! With all the servers put there there is something for EVERYONE. Best game ever.

    Rust is the best game i have ever experienced in my 20 years of gaming, the devs are very supportive and actively update the game every single month, keeping things fresh. most negative reviews are from 7-9 years ago when the game was in early access.

    This game is fun if you enjoy the survivalist fantasy, but sometimes it can get incredibly frustrating and you should not play this game if you get angry easily.

    A pretty fun game to play with friends and lots of interesting stuff to do but spending a lot of time on something and it being obliterated instantly by other players is not the best.

    The game is a fun high risk high reward survival game, you have to be committed to make it through the wipe, but very fun if you are.

    Rust is a game that forces you to spend a huge amount of time, but it's a pleasure to spend it, you constantly have to contact other players and only you can choose how. 2500 hours 8/10

    Best of the best of its kind. Developers do their best to make this game even better by releasing new content, world updates and UI/UX improvements.

    This game had me hooked initially, and I played the hell out of it. The very nature of the game design though can be quite frustrating if you're not playing with a group of friends as you'll be mercilessly killed on sight over and over and that can just suck all the fun out of the game.

    Rust is the game you would wish existed back in the heyday of MMORPGS. Unforgiving PVP with consequences, where you can end up literally dominating the entire server. 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. YouRust is the game you would wish existed back in the heyday of MMORPGS. Unforgiving PVP with consequences, where you can end up literally dominating the entire server. 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.

    Well made and functioning game.

    Really fun to play with or without friends (Tho a Duo or more always works easyer)

    You need to be an active player tho.

    One of the best survival-pvp games ever created. It's difficult, has a very steep learning curve and relies heavily on playing with friends, which make Rust an excelent game for those players who love this kind of gameplay. 10/10 not not debatable.

    Despite having spent four years in Early Access the game is still very far from being finished. [04/2018, p.65]

    For competitive players who want a mix of survival and crafting, Rust is the best there is; for everyone else, there are plenty of other games.
