    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.

I have been playing it the past 3 years and ive seen a lot of people complain about the updates we get but personally, every update we have had has been fun and gives us a better time, even if they havent fixed some of the problems there are. 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

    Very fun to play on 5x or 10x servers, but DO NOT play vanilla, because you will instantly ruin the fun for yourself.

    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.

    It is used to be a good game when it is realsed but now it is not a survival game anymore. It is kind of FPS game.

    This game has so much going for it and it can be really fun at times. Yet it has so many issues that I can't give it any higher than a 5. My main issue by far is how repetitive it is.

Rust isn't optimized that well either it can take a long time to load into a sever, even taking hours sometimes. And it can lag a lot even on low settings. Though I'd say that depends on your Pc. Overall I can say Rust is decent at best yet I can't recommend it in its current state.… Expand

    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.

    Stagnant meta, poor performance and nonsensical poorly implement or thought out updates.
    One of those survival games that never actually left early access.
    No efforts have been made to bring fresh air to its battleroyale-esque death match quick snowballing meta. There hasn't been any major PvE content or new gun in years and what's already there is hardly working or balanced.

    No efforts have been made to bring fresh air to its battleroyale-esque death match quick snowballing meta.
    There hasn't been any major PvE content or new gun in years and what's already there is hardly working or balanced.
    The survival mechanics are entirely neglected and easily ignored.
    Every update makes the game worse in various aspects or flops so hard that people forget it even exists after a week.

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

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

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

And thats because rust is not only a survival game but is also a competitive game thx to its mechanics while shooting with guns. Overall rust is a non bug polished experience wich you wont find anywhere… Expand

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

    PvP-heavy survival game for gamers resistant to frustration, with weaknesses in construction and discovery.

    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.
