Early Access Review
Rust is a survival game that can be played in whatever way you want to play it, which in it's self is an achievement. The game has no clear story or set goal for you to reach so when you start out you can be a little bit lost, but after a few hours of playing you soon get to grips with how the mechanics work and what you have to do, the recent arrival of the XP system shook up the game and how it is played for many people but I would argue that this makes the game much friendlier for new players which is a positive for me as I would really love to see the game continue to grow. As i've played the game i've noticed that groups have the advantage over solo players which is as it should be because as the saying goes "There's strength in numbers" but I do think that solo players should be given a fighting chance of surviving or even winning a fight against a group of players, even if the liklihood of that win is very low.

The Positives (In my opinion):
-The game is very fun and has a good replay value as every wipe you start again.
-There is always the factor of wanting to come on to see how your base is or go and get some loot so you always seem to want to play more and more.
-The community is overall pretty decent but you have to remember the #1 Rule of rust which is 'Trust Nobody', which I have found to be an accurate way to go about things.
-System that rewards prolonged periods of play so playing the game for a long while will put you at an advantage over people who don't. This gives you a sense of achievement.
-Relatively cheap.
-Thousands of servers.
-Survival game with a strong theme of PVP.
-Very easy and intuitive buliding mechanics that make you think.
-Fun and Challenging combat ranged and hand to hand.
-Very regularly updated with new gear and general updates to FPS and such to enjoy nearly every week.
-Entertaining YouTube community featuring the likes of RhinoCrunch, Faceless, Ser Winter, Vertiigo and more.
-Fun player to player interactions.
-Great anti hacking features.
-Making friends is very easy.

The Negatives (again in my opinion):
-Clans have a massive advantage over the solo player meaning that you are likely to be steamrolled by groups on busy servers very regularly.
-The game is relatively demanding on your PC.
-The game can get a little repetitive if you don't mix up how you play.
-Some people in the community are out to ruin others experience, but this exists in every multiplayer game.
-Hackers and aim botters are still existent even with the anti hacking features.
-Pookie Bear is too rare.

This is my first review on a game and I probably wrote this horribly but gimme a break.
