Rust got me back into gaming after a long break. The videos on Youtube looked hilarious and fun.
I'll admit, it can be maddening at times, frustrating and hateful.
BUT, you just roll with it and keep going and it has some of the best gameplay I've ever experienced.

The world is gorgeous and feels realistic. Aside from bears phasing in and out of reality, the wildlife is
threatening and life like.

Building is fun, farming is actually not unpleasant.

Now... you are going to get killed. A LOT.

I was murdered by a rock to my skull literally in my first two minutes of gameplay the first time I logged on.

This hasn't really slown down in the higher population servers.
But you get smarter. You get friends to join you or you join them. Or you make new friends.

OR you just go quiet like, and adapt gameplay accordingly.

Some updates you'll hate, but for the most part you'll enjoy the ever changing nature of the game.

10/10 I recommend. I'm addicted and my enjoyment hasn't slown down at all.
