One other thing about this game is that you don’t really get to choose what your character looks like. They will kill you on sight, and they will have no mercy. Sometimes even discouraging because the players don’t really care if you’re new or if you’re just there to explore the game. But the constant repetition of just dying and gathering can get boring and tedious. It’s fun for the first few times you venture into this game. With a rock and a torch to help you gather stuff once again. So you will have to start from scratch again. However, every time you die, you lose everything you have gathered. You wake up again in a random location or if you have a bedroll that you placed down in your previous run, you can choose to respawn there. Of course, your adventures doesn’t end there. Someone just shot you with a pistol from a distance. Or drinking from that lake nearby to quench your thirst. Picking pumpkins to eat to avoid starving.

Here you are minding your own business, gathering materials for you to survive. But surviving in this world can be difficult. Rust is such a very cruel game that I would even liken it to Dark Souls. And in a game world where there’s no consequence for killing anyone? Well, you would be plunged into a reality where no one is there to be your friend. It is a pretty harsh environment where kindness to strangers doesn’t really exist. I think you can jump into a server with a friend but I haven’t done so. No one is your friend in this environment, everyone is just really out to get you. As you have to watch out for anyone and everyone who is out there trying to kill you. What I don’t like about it being online only is that you can’t really enjoy the game at your own pace. It does make it feel like you are on the level with everyone no matter when you will start the game. I guess it’s similar to the season type game in Diablo III. So no matter how far you get into the game or how well equipped you might be, you will lose everything after the end of each month. You’d have to choose one of several servers that have been put in place by the game developers. In the console edition of Rust, it doesn’t really let you create your own map to live in.

Rust is also an online multiplayer only game. You are supposed to figure out everything on your own. You don’t really know what to do or how to do things or how to even survive the harsh world that you are put in. The game doesn’t really hold your hand from the get go. It is then up to you what you have to do next. The premise of the game is that you get placed randomly in this map with nothing but a rock and torch. Rust first released back in 2013 and was officially launched to the console as the Console Edition in May 2021. But is the game still enjoyable even if it was the case? Let’s find out. Unfortunately that will happen 99% of the time. Rust Console Edition is a survival exploration game where the goal is to not die in the first few seconds of the game.
