Rust is a good enough game as it is. If you like multiplayer "survival" games that features base building and PVP/E, the I would recommend this game for you.
Pros:
-Intricate base building system.
-Rewarding loot system.
-Game is constantly improved as developers continue to work on the game.
-Easy to learn, fast paced gameplay.
-Gunplay is like no other, very smooth and rewarding.
-Always something to do in game.

Cons:
-The community is awful. You will most likely find no mercy from rival players.
-Unoptimized for weaker builds. The game is still early so this is a given, and it is being worked on extensively.
-Has a heavy emphasis on cooperation. You'll have a harder time playing this by yourself than with a partner.

All in all, I've thoroughly enjoyed this game, in my 300+ hours playing it, I've had a lot of fun playing alone and with friends. It can be infuriating at times, but sometimes the spark of randomness you can get from the community can be extremely hilarious. The game can be intense during gunfights or raids, which is my personal drive for playing the game, but can also be very frustrating when losing a battle or siege (which happens more often than I'd like to admit).

Overall, I would give this game a solid 8/10, as I've been a long time fan of it from 2013, I'm sure I have some level of bias.
