    If you can get over the poor graphics, bugs and the constant attempts on your life, Rust: Console Edition has plenty to offer you. The game is definitely suited to a very niche group and that’s OK because once you overcome the initial learning curve, Rust can be great (especially if you can group up with friends or even other in game players).

    Rust Console Edition, an extreme open-world survival experience that highlights the limits of trust and mistrust.

    If you’re really into this type of hardcore survival game and can get over the dated graphics, controls and overall feel and this was the only game you wanted to play everyday, 7 days a week for 8 hours a day, then I can honestly see you really enjoying Rust: Console Edition. If that doesn’t appeal to you then this might be a hard pass otherwise.

    Rust Console Edition is an addictive multiplayer survival game that will give great satisfaction only to those who will embrace its philosophy based on cooperation and PvP fights, without which the gaming experience is likely to become too frustrating. In addition, the game is suffering from a very poor technical realization, so as to seem an early access game rather than a full one. Given these issues, it is only advisable to super-enthusiasts of the genre.

    A ruthless and brutal survival game, unfortunately not that entertaining to play. A modest porting for console with some serious inaccuracies (bugs and crashes), did not convince us.

    Rust Console Edition is not a good port at all: it's an inferior version of the original game but at a high price.

    Rust: Console Edition is ruthlessly challenging survival sandbox that can make even the most tedious task feel like a victory when properly executed. The console port is around three years behind its PC counterpart in updates, leading to poor quality that makes the struggles of an already unfair world feel exacerbated.

    Spoiler alert!!!! You’re gonna die because that is what makes the game fun. The constant restarting and trying to do everything better is great too!

    ok so I'm seeing a few negative reviews and im not sure why the game whilst not being the greatest quality is playable you just have to getok so I'm seeing a few negative reviews and im not sure why the game whilst not being the greatest quality is playable you just have to get past the learning curve/start and then your fine once you have a base and a sleeping bag or 2 you just go out and farm to expand your base and learn new bp's my only problem with the game is the fact that stone nodes are such a rare thing in the fresh spawn areas but once you get down a base all those issues are resolved and stone nodes seem more frequent as long as you aren't too close to spawn plus barrels have consistent and short timers for respawning and pvp whilst a bit difficult is manageable my only issue is the stone node rarity and the newbies (they cant be stopped) but other than that excellent port just a bit of a steep learning curve / start to the game its definitely worth the £40 or so on amazon if you can get your friends to buy it you can have a great time… Expand

    The game is good enough, but the drop in frames prevents you from having fun, but the developers are trying, I wish them good luck!

Rust in console runs worse then the original rust did back in 2013 . The map is filled with fog which would be fine if it helped preform with which it doesn’t . The game crashes and has so many issues the servers are not available either . Keep in mind you had to play extra to have access 3 days early and the Serbs don’t work . Ridiculously bad port do not buy… Expand
