    The game have good potentials and concept, but an awful player base. Aside from the glitch and bugs, you can barely survive the death raids, or should I say, you can't. Lastly, the admins are pretty bad at their job.

    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

Mining, Chopping and even building. Then I found another player. I was so happy at first, i came up to them holding a torch since it's the 'international sign of piece'. I started jumping and getting happy. Then I pressed Push-to-talk down and saif "Hi". He said nothing... instead, he beared hsi rock at me and started hacking away. I was asking him what he was doing but all that I got in return was another hack in the back. But unlike Day-Z were the combat is polished enough and you can get geared up fast enough to warrant bandits fighting you being fun, early game rock fights just feel like a "ohhhhh MY GOD WTF". This is also the case because most of the time whoever gets first hit wins. This game is great, awesome concept BUT IT NEEDS TO BE REMODDLED. Seriously put consequences into killing people with melee weapons. I say if you try to kill with a melee weapon you should get fatigue or something idk but this early game rock **** is holding the REALLY AWESOME and fun late game back. Great game, needs polish and atm i would recommend buying it as there is a remodel being undertaken.

Most people you encounter will in fact kill you, even if you are a fresh spawn carrying a rock. 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

    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

This game is usually fun if you play with friends. But the communities suck ass, that's why I avoid any players I see because they are just going to kill you, and when you die you lose everything and start all over, not much of an enjoyment to waste 20 minutes to build a stone hatcert which usualyl takes 2 minutes to build.

    For what it sets out to accomplish, Rust Alpha is an incomplete yet enjoyable game. Starting out with a rock, a torch, and a respectably-large open world, players are pitched against nature and one another in an endless contest to survive—pants optional.

Starting out with a rock, a torch, and a respectably-large open world, players are pitched against nature and one another in an endless contest to survive—pants optional. Fair warning: savable progress is not a feature. In the likelihood that you find yourself on the wrong end of a gun or mauled by radioactive bears, let's just say I hope you weren't carrying anything valuable. Now, onto the review.

    Without a doubt, the allure of multiplayer survival feeds on human interaction. Encounters in Rust are, for lack of a better word, exhilarating. Will this stranger kill you and dash away hours of scavenging for hard-earned gear? Or will he fall to your gun, doubling your day's bounty as you loot his limp corpse? Perhaps he doesn't want to fight, and will just leave you in peace. Or maybe, just maybe, he'll reach out to you, and as partners you'll conquer more than you could possibly imagine. The thrill of running into (or trying to avoid) other players is not easily replicated; it's something you'd have to experience for yourself.

    The survival-themed features of this game match its straightforward playstyle and down-to-earth feel. The items you gather can be used to craft shelter, armor and weapons, as well as food and medical supplies. Status effects are self-explanatory. If you're not wearing clothes at night, you become cold and burn calories quicker; if you take damage, you have a chance to bleed and lose more health over time. Most "man-made" structures (those not built by players but occurring naturally on the map) contain valuables but are guarded by radiation, indicated by a meter next to your health bar and a distinct Geiger counter sound; irradiated players die quickly. Crafting and construction makes Minecraft look difficult. The rudimentary characteristics make it easy to understand from the get-go, though this may prove disappointing for those seeking depth in a game.

    Where Rust deserves criticism is in its inability to distinguish itself from its most similar competitor, DayZ., which boasts a greater world depth, crafting variety, and polished appearance. At just $10 less, I couldn't recommend going for a straight downgrade. I am worried that Rust was released too soon, and by the time the finished product is ready, people will have already lost interest. While many of us early adopters may appreciate its minimalist approach, things will have to change to keep it from growing stale over the coming months and years.

    The game is remarkably well-optimized in terms of file space, taking up just 1.7 GB; however, a look at the graphics and you'll understand why. The options menu provides very little control over how your game looks, giving you a sliding bar for "render quality" and checkboxes for water reflections and VSync. Even at maximum quality, sharp polygon edges and reused textures are everywhere. There is a noticeable draw distance whenever you approach mountains or rocks from far away, and up close the object borders suffer from a real lack of antialiasing. DayZ looks comparatively beautiful. That being said, Rust will definitely play on setups that can't handle the former.

    For $20, Rust is a hell of a ride. It is a fine break from the overwhelming complexity of AAA titles, and reminds players like me why we love gaming in the first place. The experience only gets better with friends playing. But for this game to become anything more than a flash in the pan, it will need to become something that sets itself aside from the now-better competition.    … Expand

    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    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.

    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

There is no enjoyment getting killed over and over again. You have no protection anywhere and you can be killed and looted even when you leave the server, which is outright annoying and idiotic.

    1: the support is awful

    for me? i just throwed 18 euro in the trash..

    yea i know its alpha and **** but this doesnt explains not the GM attitude, not the free cheaters going arround wall hacking and taking ur sealed items.. and doesnt explains that the support is trash.. the best thing u have to do?

    This game has a lot of potential. That being said the current state of the game is basically unplayable. It has no aspects of a PvE world like the developers intended on.

    Rust is the closest thing to real life that you'd get if you dropped a bunch of guys off on an deserted island. Your personality goes a long way... if you run into someone who's cool and helps you out, it feels good... if you run into someone who KOS then it infuriates you, especially if they had nothing to gain... then you'll find people who betray you after being by your side for a goodRust is the closest thing to real life that you'd get if you dropped a bunch of guys off on an deserted island. Your personality goes a long way... if you run into someone who's cool and helps you out, it feels good... if you run into someone who KOS then it infuriates you, especially if they had nothing to gain... then you'll find people who betray you after being by your side for a good while.

    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

    Had potential but the dev had a good idea but the execution was poor, hackers and cheaters WILL ruin the game for you. Maybe it will be in a couple of years but I would stay away. I got the game for free and it's still not worth the download.

    I really really want this game to be good. Sadly, i don't think any amount of work is going to solve the developers decisions and horrible coding. I really hope i'm wrong and the game turns out great. Other developers need to realize that if the game's alpha is in this poor of shape, then maybe you should wait to put it up for early access.    … Expand

    Massive amounts of potential but is in dire need of balancing. Too much offense, no way to defend or deter attacks when offline. Explosives are too easy to craft and hoard so the haves simply farm the have-nots until they quit.

    Lots of security holes for hackers, lots of trolling and griefing.

    Got this on Steam Early Access (they're calling it an "alpha", though it's only slightly better than a barely functional proof-of-concept) - wish I hadn't spent that money at this point. I'm giving it a 2 for the potential it has, but I cannot recommend that anybody ever play it, let alone pay for it, in it's current state.

    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. Hackers, cheaters, griefers, and people that will even lie to you to gain your trust so that they can kill you while you're naked and take away the rock you spawn with).

    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

Прям майнкрафт в 3D, с блекджеком и револьверами. Но потом раскрываются все "прелести" этой индиподелки. Совершенно безобразное комьюнити, которое будет убивать и грабить вас снова и снова. 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. За те 20$ (в рус. стиме 400 руб), что просят за нее, можно набрать пару-тройку действительно хороших игр, или целую пригоршню индиигр, которые стоят вдесятеро меньше Rust, и в сто раз интереснее. 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. После чего игра идет в корзину и забывается как недоразумение и страшный сон.… Expand

    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.
