    I got this game from a friend! DO NOT think I'm bias tho because I did buy it before on PC

    Honestly, Rust is a game all about survival of the fittest, and this game gave me that experience, the controls are different but easy to get use to and hard to foeget, the PVP feels good especially since there is no indications where your swinging your weapon or shooting your gun/bow unless your aiming down sights, when I played it was hard to get started, people will go around killing others but that's the fun of it, you have to be prepares fkr that know where you are going to go and get ready for a fight because there will be one. The only thing that I found was horrible was the connection, I would have fits of lag to the point where I crashed once, but it was so addicted to making sure my base was safe I got right back on exactly where I left off.
    But hat all is Rust, what it's supposed to be, it's not diverting from what it was on PC it's just coming to console, and a lot appreciate it, and there is no community servers atleast there isn't at the time of posting this, but it might change. So final say would be that it is over hyped but good leaving it a higher score than 8 feels like I'm lying but lower than 7 I just feel bad since I did like it so much.    … Expand

    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 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 freshok 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

    Don’t get the negative reviews on this game. I think it’s awesome. Lots to do. Very few lag issues. Enjoying learning to survive. Seems many having a negative impression but the stability of my games have been great. Sorry to disagree.

    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!

    This game is great solo but even better with a group of friends. I believe the server wipe concept is frustrating to some, but is pivotal to providing a reason to the replay value.

    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!

    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.
