I felt like I need to update my review. The issue with the log in is still happening, although I did find a work around it by running Steam Launcher with Administrative rights.

There is also the huge issue with not having a load button, which forces the players to log out and log in if you miss calculate a jump and don't want to do everything again.

But the truth is, the game is fun and at the end of the day that's what counts.

Nothing works, at all. Snapping is difficult, can't clean the rooms properly to have a nice even room, and the tunnels, my god the tunnels. Hours spent trying to figure it out and it's impossible to get it to work. Nicely done dev team, let's make big rooms and tunnels that won't align properly.

TD;DR Dream of having a big vault and connections to every room is crushed

Nostalgia trip here I go!

(Could use the subtitles during gameplay and not only cutscenes.)

Couldn't even connect to an online server.

Take it from someone who does bush craft/survival as a hobby: this game is amazing. It's unrelenting and unforgivable just like the real world. All the survival points are there.

A few additions I would like to see ingame:
More containers: Some place to put bones in would be nice and maybe add the ability to search for clay and use the campfire to make cups, bowls or even big jars.
Garden/Nursery: It would be cool to have some place where you could cultivate either mushrooms, plants or even small animals (E.I. Frogs, rats, larva, maggots, etc.)
Clothes making: Some plants can be used to make rope and even clothes (Hemp, Flax, Nettle) it would be cool to be able to gather that as well as animal skins and work with it.
Survival mode: I would love to have a mode where we have predators and sanity but without the mean men trying to kill us.

TD;DR: Game's great, go try it and have fun dying every 10 minutes.

Edit:

Loved to see some of the things I mentioned added to the game later on. These new updates are great. Keep up the good work!

Second Edit:

Wooo! No more unkown plants!

I enjoy the game a fair amount. It's very bare bones yet but with the stead updates we can see the Dev truly likes what he is doing and is really trying to make his vision come true.

At this moment however, I recommend the game but with some reservations.

One such example is the following:
I was raiding a bandit base so I could get the male survivor (female survivors can't harvest wood for some reason?). I killed a bunch of bandits from the outside but before entering the base I saved. While storming it I died so I tried to load my save. What happen was, every bandit I had killed came back to life, including the ones near me. And get this, the bandits load before the buildings, so I get obliterated half a second after loading.

Sure, I could just revive, but it still feels like a pretty bad oversight.

Lots of potential. I love me some jumpscares and co-op so this game comes right up my alley.

There are still a few bugs and kinks that need to be worked on, and the graphics could be better but overall I am having tons of fun yelling like a little girl at my desktop.

I actually got nightmares for the first time in years.
10/10 would have another heart attack.

I loved it from beguinning to end. The voice, the dialog options, and those options affecting the story, they were all great. Granted it gets cut short when the story finally starts moving forward, hopefully the next game will have a bigger narrative.

Looking very much forward to the next game.

PS: The complaints about Microtransactions are complete crap, I went through the whole story without even knowing they were there.

Let me very clear from the start: I was one inch away from not recommending this game.

The game in itself is, while very limited and primordial for now, fun and interesting. Between crafting, house making and resource gathering Rust can be very fun to play.

The biggest problem is the toxic community. It seems that to be able to enjoy this game you have to be a colossal douchebag and completely unable to work in community.

To a solo player is nearly impossible to be able to play on official servers. Between the people who's only focus is sniping nakeds on the beach and those who simply have to destroy any base that isn't their own, even if they don't need any materials, it makes having a good time playing extremely difficult.

Creating alliances ingame is nearly impossible too because if you let someone in your base (no matter how small and lacking of resources) they will probably destroy it for the simple sake of being bored.


The experience is a little bit better in unofficial servers. Still the idea that "you can't trust anyone, only way to survive and have fun is to be as terrible of a human being as possible" is not a good first impression for new players who most seem to rage quit (remember the guys sniping nudes on the beach?).

TL;DR: Fun game, lots of potential. Community is toxic as hell.

PS: Being nice and trusting to others shouldn't be a hindrance but an advantage.


UPDATE: Community still hella Toxic!

Second update:
I tried to play it after being inactive for a few months. Literally took me 80 Minutes to log into a server, and once I did I was only getting 1FPS.
Same machine, don't rightfully know what the Devs did to make this happen while I was away but they clearly haven't figured out how to properly optimize the game.
