    The game is as alpha as it gets; so I'm giving it some credit for the massive potential its concept has. But the execution so far has been poor...and the "community". The people who play this game? Foul, antisocial adolescents. Not a game for grown-ups, atm. Or people who prefer not wasting their time with absolutely no defense against griefers.

    Huge potential, but its truly awful right now. Hopefully as the alpha progresses things get ironed out, because the game is simply not fun right now. The general gameplay experience is as follows:

    -Spawn -Get wood -Look for rock -Find no rocks and eventually starve to death naked and weaponless. -Repeat until bored. -Quit. The game is also very laggy, in more than one respect.

    The game is also very laggy, in more than one respect. The servers obviously, but the menus also freeze for a not so insignificant amount of time when navigating and choosing options. The community seems to favor trolls and Neanderthals at the moment as well. I'll check back in a month to see if things have changed, but right now i regret my purchase.    … Expand

I've spent 40 hours playing the game so I have a decent understanding of what goes on. Unfortunately the game takes exactly zero steps to make the game fun for someone who isn't looking to play an fps killfest. It is simply a game of who spends the most amount of time playing killing everyone else on the server. You look no different if you're a fresh spawn, with nothing but a rock in your hands, or an advanced player with a silenced shotgun simply one click away. Because of that, every person you see is kill on sight by default. Admin abuse in this game is legendary, they can spawn whatever they want and they aren't afraid to. After taking your stuff from your base, players often "grief" your base, making it unusable or inaccessible, rendering hours and hours of work useless. Such a good idea for a game made awful because of poor design and a horrendous community. If refunds existed on Steam, I'd get one.… 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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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

    Good entertainment if you are a hacker. If you are not a hacker, prepare yourself for some serious butthurt. Official servers = hacked, Community servers = mostly hacked, Modded servers = a few hackers, you might get an honest game there.

Yes, I realize it's Early Access and expecting a polished, complex game without bugs or balance issues is unreasonable. However, this game is absolutely not worth purchasing in its current state. Some people are brand new, confused and having a hard time adapting - they give this game a 0. Others have adjusted very well, explored the majority of the game's offerings and give this game a 10 to balance out the negativity. Let me be honest, this game, in its current state, deserves a 2 at best. Right, I should probably explain why; the bugs. There are tons of griefers and trolls, but that's kind of the nature of any online environment. However, there are also hacks that will randomly insta-kill you. Given the difficulty of the game, being instantly killed can damn near ruin your experience entirely. And it will happen. In addition, certain resources are a nightmare to find that are practically essential early on, such as stone blocks which provide minerals and stones. Above all else, the lag is a nightmare. I understand that they haven't allocated massive funds to servers, but the current status isn't enough to house even a few dozen players without rubberbanding all over the god damn place, which makes the already mundane task of farming resources infinitely worse. In addition, hunting / fighting animals and zombies is brutal with lag. Good luck chasing down a deer when it's teleporting all over the f---ing screen and wolves attack like you're fighting under a strobe light. As far as "end-game" goes, you can look forward to nothing. There is nothing beyond building a crappy wooden fort, building a gun, and shooting zombies. I can honestly say this game has a tremendous amount of potential, but as it stands even SUGGESTING it's worth $20 is an insult to the gaming community and Steam's leniency for Early Access. Avoid it at all costs, or in this case, twenty bucks. Play Terarria or Starbound if you need a crafting / killing fix in the meantime or just wait until the developers drop the price to 5 bucks or at least enter the beta phase. Otherwise, this is a prime example of Early Access being treated like a shady Kickstarter campaign. Garbage.… Expand

    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

The lag, the hackers, and the spawn griefers need to be dealt with before this game leaves it's Alpha stage. I absolutely do not mind being killed and losing everything I've worked for for a few hours, that's part of the game. But losing it to a hacker that used a speed hack and an insta-kill hack to reach me, that's not fun. People who are established in the game running around the spawn area to one-shot naked men and raid shacks in groups of 10-20...not fun. Give noobs a noob friendly area, perhaps give the more established players a kind-of Utopia to find and live in that's far away from the noobs where they can have their naked man circle-jerk sessions.

    -Also the lag, buggy mess when more then a few online players are around you...you go to battle 3 vs 3 or more...prepare for frustrations and alot of lag. That and waking up naked on the beach/in your safe house (if its still standing) bc of said lag and bugs.

    The Ugly:
    Still after YEARS an "early release game" and labeled as Alpha. They're not going to ever finish this game are they....just keep the thing in alpha stage with buggy messes all over to ensure they never have to have a finished polished project. Lame alpha/early release games left n right showing up all over the place. BOYCOTT them, this mess as got to stop...first you work on a product, polish it up, finish it, then sell it. But oh wait not anymore...now they want paid before they even finish a polished project and alot of them just take the money and run after sales drop...disgusting business practice. Steer clear of alpha/early release games...make these "developers" work before they're paid.    … Expand

    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

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.

    1- GENERAL

    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?

    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 ofAfter four years of development I think it's safe to say this alpha game is not going anywhere quickly. It's seen several systems such as blueprints, experience and now the components. The predecessors of the components system came and went within that 3 year span, one of which didn't even last an entire year it was so terribly thought out and executed. 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.

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.

It's a fun game and it has a huge amount of potential however in it's current state it is extremely buggy, extremely laggy on nearly every server I've played it on and ultimately it appears to have some serious networking problems and/or memory leaks server-side because none of the servers that I have played on have been able to handle a continuous play session of too long...and coming back day after day just has some serious pains with making it even slower.

    The boars, chickens and deer start to "skip". Other players start to "skip". Zombies "skip".

    It's not all entirely bad - I've had a huge amount of fun with this already however I do have some long term concerns:
    - I'm concerned that they may not be able to weed out all of the hacking that really affects the fun in the game.
    - Will they be able to create a stable bit of server software that is rock-sold to allow for weeks and weeks of server time without requiring a new map to be created (effectively scrapping any progress you may have made).
    - Is their vision perhaps focused a little too much on putting their/the communities ideas into place without maybe taking a step back now (before it's too late) to rather re-engineer parts of the game that are just too week at this point in time (sometimes you just can't fix something if it has a crappy foundation).

    Either way I really do hope that they can pull it off - it has so much potential:
    -I dream of PVE day-time servers with PVP night-times (or mixes of the two). The worst thing about this game is starting fresh on a server only to be hacked for your med-kit and torch on sight.
    -The ideas I have of custom servers and the potential of mods to really blow this out of the water are just awesome - let us hope that they focus more on the securing the game from hackers and allowing some really awesome modding functionality in the long term for where they will inevitably fall short.
    -My imagination runs wild with the crafting possibilities in something that doesn't look as ugly as Minecraft does...has a little more of a "I'm in real danger now" feeling to it too.

    TL:DR Lots of fun but sadly just not worth investing too much time into right now and after several days of play time all I can say is that you should give it at least a few months before even looking into it. I do plan to update this again as they progress though...so here's holding thumbs!

    Now if you're bored and you want to try something new (knowing that your progress will be reset and that these guys are at least 6 months away from something stable if it comes - well in my opinion) then give it a go. Personally I'd have preferred a $9.99 entry point in it's current state...but yeah early access is "the thing" so what can we do?    … Expand

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

    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

You can turn off voice volume and chat to counteract this. Most of the bad reviews I've seen on the game are from people who loose loot a lot and can't compete in pvp. The game requires a lot of practice but can be very rewarding in the future. I understand that you can loose loot to a 6 man clan and you can't do much about it. But there is so much you can do to counter this. You can go on servers that only allow solos or the max team size is three. Most people don't understand that this game isn't just a survival game but is also a competitive shooter. If you are tired of loosing loot then go on a pve only server. But for most people you're just going to have to practice, yes you can loose hours of progress in under a minute but you are also able to get someone else's progress in under a minute. I know it sound cruel but it is true. Thats why pvp is so rewarding, even if you took someone else's stuff, they can still do the same thing to someone else. I like to call this the circle of rust. The gun you just picked up off the guy you killed could've been someone else's gun from many other people that have died. Sure, looting and gathering resources is a major part of the game. But learning pvp and staying calm is a much bigger part. Being able to realize it's just a game and all your loot does not really matter can make the game much more fun. If you don't want to grind then you can easily just mess around with friends or with other people. What you do in the game and how you want to have fun is truly up to you. People dump thousands upon thousands of hours into the game. The game requires lots of dedication, most people probably wont have a lot of fun at the start of their play-through especially if they don't have a friend to teach them. I recommend going on youtube and watching videos to learn the game mechanics. One of my biggest gripes with the game is that it does not cater to new players at all. There is no tutorial at all, so pretty much everyone is going to have to go on youtube to figure things out or have to ask a friend. The game tells you what to do but not how to do it. So thats pretty annoying in my opinion. All in all, I recommend that before you review the game you should try different things and play until you get to endgame, then once you've done that try and make a review.… Expand

    This game suffers horribly from feature creep. Instead of polishing broken updates, they just keep patching more and more updates into it. Their past updates have been catering more to roleplayers because they've realized if they do that, they get an insane boost in sales because twitch streamers promote it.

    I bought this game yesterday, and it seemed fun and it was. But there's a lot of problems with the game.

I joined a server I liked, had a lot of supplies in it, went to sleep, when I woke up and checked my house someone broke into it and stole all my supplies, I'm back at scratch. The 2nd problem is too many bandits, I try to help people on this game sometimes but most likely they just shoot you afterwards, this game is really hard to get started if you're a new player. 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. It has great potential, until than, I'll give it a 4/10.    … Expand

    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.

    Great game overall a lot of fun!

    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.

    A horrible experience.    … Expand

    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.

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.

    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 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.

    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.

    it has some good graphics and good crafting system with some decent goals, but its not optimized ( im talking about the memory leak it has that makes the game take 15gb of ram), and the AI is so messed up that i would rather the game have no AI at all.
    for the price that its asking, there are far more better games and in my opinion no one should waste    good idea but terrible execution.
