    Even though Rust is quite hardcore for my taste I still enjoyed playing it. The game itself is quite hard especially alone against huge clans. I mostly played in a duo on low/medium pop servers and we had a much fun. I would not recommend this for a solo player but if you play with a squad its a lot of fun.

    All in all a creative and good game if you got enough time and some friends then I recommend it.

    As a survival, Rust has this very unique concept that mixes farming, base building and defense, finding food, building guns, and using them to kill rivals on the same server as you. Farming is definitely not my cup of tea, but it is necessary to access the other, much more entertaining aspects of the game. What is wonderful about Rust is the size of the maps, whole worlds where you can tryAs a survival, Rust has this very unique concept that mixes farming, base building and defense, finding food, building guns, and using them to kill rivals on the same server as you. Farming is definitely not my cup of tea, but it is necessary to access the other, much more entertaining aspects of the game. What is wonderful about Rust is the size of the maps, whole worlds where you can try to hide or, on the opposite side, to build gigantic bases to mark your territory and dare others to try and contest it. In this sense, Rust gives all its flavour when, after hours of grinding and crafting, you can defeat an opponent trying to raid you, or better, achieve a successful raid yourself.

    Unfortunately, reaching this point will be highly dependent on the server where you play, and the luck you have not to cross the path of already well-installed players on the server. Because in my opinion, Rust has one major flaw: it is deeply anti-noob. I don't know any other game that is so hostile and not welcoming towards new players, and this is inherent to the mechanics of the game itself: when you start on a new server, you start with nothing. If other players have played 20 hours on this server, they already have a base, good weapons, and if they happen to find you they will just kill you, even if you're a harmless, naked peon. And don't count on other players' mercy: kills don't happen every minute in the game, so if you are found in the nature, it's too appealing to kill you.

    So as a new player, you will be killed all the time, either resetting your progress on the server, or "just" drastically reducing its speed, if you were lucky enough to manage to store a few things in a safe place that you can reach back, before dying. And this pinnacle of the snowball effect is part of the core mechanics of the game: the newer you are, the least likely you are to make progress. This principle is against my concept of games. I am not saying people cannot enjoy Rust. If you are a highly competitive person and willing to endure hours of frustration before reaching the core of enjoyment of the game, you can go ahead. But on top of that, remember this is a persistent environment game, meaning you can lose everything you have even when you don't play.

    Rust is a game that you should play all the time, or never. As someone who enjoys playing different games and my personal life, I have made my decision between the two.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its a great game though some glitches
    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.

    Writing this review after delevopers decided to ban a whole hardware brand in their crusade against cheaters, which is absurd. Stay away from this game. It is not worth it.

    I spent 1200 hours in this game. Never used macros. Today i entered the game and realised that actually I my hardware is in blacklist and I have to buy a new mouse. I have Bloody V3M, i understand that this mouse is used for macros, but most people use it just because it's comfortable. So, i think this is a stupid way to fight cheaters. Not cool. I had this mouse for around four years.

    No one has the right to decide what computer mouse keyboard I can use, except myself or the laws of the country of residence. In the Russian Federation there are no such laws, but there is a law "on consumer protection", which just violated the developers of this game(Rust).

    Developers violate consumer rights by blocking certain computer devices. Only ordinary users suffer from this, since the way to
    to bypass the lock has already been found, so cheaters can still use macros for shooting.

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.

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

    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 .

    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.

Offline raiding the norm with lots of players that seem to have nothing better to do with their time. Game can easily turn into a time 'black hole' trying to keep ahead of raiders. Having to get authorization for every trap in friends base (and living in a time zone 8 hrs. different than most friends - like me) can be a nightmare.

    Love the game when you have time for it. Otherwise it's pointless. So many years after initial release and still not stable, still not officially launched (only early access). Massive potential but needs to be worked on!

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

    -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.

    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

    A sadistically punishing game for new players with its complete deprivation of tutorial systems. It also presents its lack of technical attention and high system requirement right into the platter.

    The game itself is not bad its early so there are still bugs galore, but its playable what makes me rate it down is the amount of hackers, the way the community has geared themselves towards playing, the community in general, the general design and game play philosophy and the maps.

    Hackers - Everywhere way too many of them, if you want to avoid them play on private servers, Facepunch    The game itself is not bad its early so there are still bugs galore, but its playable what makes me rate it down is the amount of hackers, the way the community has geared themselves towards playing, the community in general, the general design and game play philosophy and the maps.

    Hackers - Everywhere way too many of them, if you want to avoid them play on private servers, Facepunch official servers are full of them. Rustified servers are better as the requirements to join are much more strict (no VAC bans period)

    Community gameplay - The idea is sound you have 2 clans building bases and you must attack theirs while defending yours, sounds good, but what actually happens is no one attacks anyone until they are offline. The majority if not all of the game time involving other players bases is done when they are offline, and likewise you will not see a single person near your base while you are online but u can almost guarantee that they will raid once you log off. They need some server option for offline protection possibly based around cabinet authorisation etc to provide protection to empty bases.

    Community as a whole - awful, just awful, 100% awful. The community takes so much enjoyment out of the game by doing everything in its power to make your gaming experience as miserable as possible. They gloat, they insult, they camp your base effectively trapping you inside for no gain for themselves, they kill new players all the time. The community of this game is literally there to suck all the fun out of it for everyone but themselves. Solo players in particular will find the game to be unplayable and I would urge you not to even consider playing until you have 6+ players in your team. Trying to find a team to join is equally pointless, they will rather shoot you and steal your rock than engage in conversation.

    The Maps - Too small basically, even the largest maps at the end of the server cycle look like housing estates. Trying to build a hidden base is worthless because the maps are so small, this ties into the fact that clans dominate the map after around 5 hours so anyone else trying to build a base is out of luck. Larger maps giving more room for players to build is something the game must add which would also help alleviate the clan domination problem by not having every base in reach of a clan HQ.

    Gameplay and design - The game is designed to (and does) heavily favour sad no life clans who can spend 10 hours a day on the game. If you have a job, if you have a life, if you have anything that would prevent you from playing each day everyday for hours on end then simply avoid this game. Without server options for more casual play the only people who get anywhere are the 24/7 clans. For people with other commitments like myself its just not viable to play the game.    … Expand

There's not much of a story in the game. You spawn naked in an island, equipped with a rock and a torch, why?

    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

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

    This game as so much potential to be amazing. The concept is very intriguing... you wake up naked on a beach, you have a rock, a torch, now go survive!

    Pros: Concept, gameplay can be solo or coop, variety of maps & sever types.
    Cons: Optimization is horrid - graphics are laggy, twitchy etc. Every "update" seems to negatively impact the game from a performance standpoint.

    Rust is a really good game with it's nice graphics, UI, building mechanics and crafting, but the only reason I gave the game a 9 is, because of the animals that are still buggy, no real AI threat besides the helicopter that shows up every 24-48 in game hours and the fact that getting your base destroyed with c4 and rockets is too easy.

    Rust has potential to be one of the BEST games out there, and I have high hopes it one day will be. But for now Facepunch is doing there best to develop the game and it is in early access. Yes, there are glitches. Yes, all your favorite game features aren't implemented yet, but one day when the game is finished I will gladly give Rust and 10.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I like this game. It's fun, it's enjoyable, and it's the perfect balance of unique and classic. It blends traditional survival elements with newer ideas that many haven't tried. It's got your average survival progression: start with nothing, get wood, get resources, build a base, protect yourself. However, there are some fairly unique elements in play. For instance, airdrops. Every few in game days a plane will fly over head, dropping crates of goodies for anyone willing to grab it. It can bring tons of people towards a single location and can create thrilling and exciting firefights over some loot. Raiding is fun as well. Blowing up a person's wall and stealing their stuff can be very satisfying. Rad towns also add a new level of play, as they require you to essentially put yourself in harms way to get any loot. This mechanic can be annoying at times, but it can still be enjoyable.The community is divided, however. Some will want to find friends to work together with and build a huge city. Some, however, will prefer to work alone and kill as many people as they can see. I think this is great. It forces you to decide who to trust and how to plan out your attacks.

    it has some flaws, however, such as the difficulty of actually getting anywhere. A lot of the time you'll spend hours gathering resources and collecting loot, only to be shot by a random player so they can take all your hard earned loot. It can also be riddled with hackers at times, and this can make the game very frustrating. It's also not very singleplayer friendly, as without a group you're basically defenseless.

    Overall, I'd give this game a 7/10. It's unique and fun but can be irritating. It is definitely a game that you will unintentionally log a lot of hours into.    … Expand
