    o jogo que tras uma ideia diferente dos outros, o rust é um jogo de pvp com sobrevivencia que pode fazer base aonde quiser o jogo ainda nao esta completo mas esta indo muito bem

    The internet embodied. Extremely frustrating and difficult, but also hilarious, fun, and creative.

    This game gets a lot of things right, the only thing it doesn't? Being bad. If you put the time into this game, and you love first person open world PvP, this game will be super rewarding. It's not about the loot. It's not about building a base. This game is a PvP game, if that's not for you that's all on you. Also, if you suck at playing a game that doesn't make it bad, that makes you bad.

    Warning: This is not so much a review, but rather my experience and a little story associated with this game.

    Rust was almost a job for me for a while. I played the game all the time because I just wanted to survive and build the best base and that's actually a plus and minus of the whole game. I'll try to explain it to you. I don't play the game today and I don't know if anything has changed, but I will be based on what I experienced and what it was like. I learned about Rust from a friend that this is such a real Minecraft in multiplayer. Subsequently, I saw a few of Pedro's videos from the game and I really liked the game overall. So I decided to buy it and try it. I was really satisfied. So I also recommended the game to friends from my area, and Rust just bought one of them. He was happy with the game as well, so we started playing the game together on one server. We played the game here and there once a week. It didn't take long and we lost everything. Our house, raw materials, our items. We have found that Rust is not just a game for a Saturday night, but a game that you have to play regularly every day for a few hours to have the best ingredients and to regularly maintain your house, which will decompose over time and therefore you have to constantly harvesting wood. So we played the game actively, especially me even without my already mentioned friend with the intention of getting at least some raw materials, so that I don't wake up the next day with the fact that our bass was killed by some fighters. Let me tell you, I haven't experienced more stress in the game than here. Not just me. Even my friend, with whom I played the game, said how stressful it is that the next day, for example, our 100 hours of logging will be discarded. The game, which should be fun, has literally become a survival of survival, where we tried to be the best we could. As a result, I don't know if it was good or not. On the one hand, we were scared that someone would be one step ahead with better equipment and destroy us, and we would lose everything, but on the one hand, no game could create such a sense of survival in me as Rust. So this would be the end of my little story about how my friend Rust and I were mating. When I look back at the game and think about what it was like, I thought in the final that it was great. Although at that moment it was a few hours of struggling and trying to survive, but in retrospect I like to remember how my friend and I were always afraid to turn on the game the next day, if we are alive at all and there was no one stronger and didn't have time to kill us. So for me, this is a great game. Do you want a proper multiplayer survival? Okay. Rust is a great choice, but don't forget that you have to immerse yourself in the game fully and forget about the real world, because if you don't play the game enough, the stronger one will just kill you one fine day and that's beautiful for Rust :) :D

    People who are complaining about toxicity and griefing are not very smart. The whole base game is build around that but if you don't like that stuff and still want to play the game there's like hundreds of roleplaying and pvp disabled servers where you might have more fun especially if your new.

    It's a good idea, the implementation seems to be also good, but here the survival is 40%, everything behind the scenes is pvp. You need to train your shooting skills, reaction and know everything about the game.

    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.

    Why do I rate this game 9?
    I bought this game in summer 2019, when it was raw. Of course it's not the best game in the wrld, and it won't be it. First problem is Unity Engine! They use this Engine to upgrade their game, to add patches and etc. But it would be better, if they do their engine or change it. Why?

    pass through textures (yeah it is nothing for many people but it would be pleasantly if there were less such bugs), what isn't cool. And it is a problem of Unity. Second problem is cheating in Rust! Well i'll start by saying, that EasyAntiCheat is the worst AntiCheat to my mind. I remember, that in one game i have crashed many times (it wasn;t Rust, It was Dead By Daylight) and problem was in this AntiCheat. There are many cheaters on the official servers of Facepunch, and they get banned after along time. That's why it;s better to play on the servers with Mods, because they have moderators.
    Also i forgot to say about spawning. Usually i spawn in the textures and sometimes it happens that I spawn and immediately die.
    Well it was all minuses of this game that i know, that;s why my rate is 8.6, and rounding it turns out 9.
    The game is very addictive, and the idea is very interesting, they say only the best survives. All these ideas with house raids, oil rigs and ships loot are very cool. Yes, it also happens that you can become very angry in this game, but the main thing is to get pleasure from it and play with friends.

The game is really unforgiving, it can take a single mistake to lose all your gear you have been working so hard to get. And thats why its fun, you can play it safe and grind your way to best weapons and then use them carefully to clear oil rigs or you can risk your gear and gank people. The base building is also really fun. You can build anything from impenetrable cave bases to high towers and bunkers. The game has really come a long way since alpha. Expand

    Love it: The graphics is cool, i love how its open world and everything making your own server will probably be a cool thing for me to be a owner of it and explore more to it. finding items is the best way of it i been waiting

    i been waiting for console version ever since then

    Hate it
    Killing new people and players is low: when you tell them you friendly they either dont listen or they deaf.
    Stealing people hardwork loot is really low; my stuff got stolen 4 times, i worked so hard getting it
    most of the time i more scared to come to a person to ask for anything to trade, help, or give why? because they can easy betray you or anything.
    There barely any weapons, food, loot, etc to get: its really low to get items I couldn't find a way to get cloth for sleeping bag so i can respawn to my house instead of the beach, there barely any cars and almost every area i been to is either too cold, or radiation or i get hit by scientists.
    Crashes, or bugs, plus older version of rust????, i didn't know it is old version of rust but i hearing they updating it soon
    this game will make you rage depending on how much you loot, how much you earned it kinda sad they cant make where it free type i seen more survival games allow solo modes where you can explore freely with no people, or custom games

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

    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.
