Cheap way to satisfy my gambling needs - 10/10

Really enjoyed the game!

I had played 2 campaigns already:

One I played 3 month ago with old mechanics and it was fun but I made it to lvls 12-13 on my core roster and finished due to dungeon and quests repeatability.

My second run was this week after I saw new changes and named items. I had basically completed the game with 1 roster of 5 people and got them all to lvl 23-24 before retiring the save. I loved the fights and new mechanics, dungeons became more interesting to explore and a lot of new quests were added. I got surprised couple times when my actions in quests influenced global map (like after i suppresses miners rebellion, after 6 month, - survivors revolted and overthrew nobles and formed new state. That caught be off guard and was very interesting to see.)

Couple suggestions, the game is fairly easy once u master key mechanics even on hardest difficulty. There were only hard fights in early game and late game was a breeze once I got my roster to lvl 10. I had beat the scourge and it was easier than I was expecting, it would be great to have final fight be more challenging, maybe even 20+ lvl difficulty.

I will do a 3rd run after final 1.0 release and probably will customise my difficulty to even higher lvl to make the game even harder.

Overall:

World building 5/5
Replay-ability 3/5
Engagement 4/5
Named gear 3/5 (hope you will reduce junk named gear - coz i feels a waste to equip tank with lvl 1 named armor at lvl 20 after i just finished 16+ lvl dungeon)
Mechanics 4/5

A lot of small bugs are present here and there but doesn't influence the experience much.

Amazing game

Worst way to spend money: played 270 hours - insanely bad optimization: fps 30-40 with all on minimum(other games are at least 70 with same settings) + issue with fps drops to 1 occurring every 10-20 minutes, as read online - 3 years old issue, tried multiple fixes - nothing helped. Dont even want to speak about super toxic community.

if you want to play games, and enjoy your time, I highly recommend you to NOT buy rust - dont waste your time and money on this game
