Early Access Review
I honestly thought Rust looked good, almost like a more strategic Minecraft. Boy was I wrong. Rust is a GREAT game.

One of my favorite things about Rust is the moments you make yourselves. From running off a cliff to your demise because you were being chased by a pack of bears, or a naked man running at you with a rock over his head with "Wrecking Ball" playing over their microphone (which actually happened), is frustrating, but it's a great moment in which you will make a lot over time. Another great thing about Rust is that you never feel safe. Even though you can be playing on a server with just a few people, you are constitently looking over your shoulder.

When you first start out in Rust on a new server, the only things you have is a few bandages, a torch, and a rock. Yes, a rock. And you must build your way up, like in Minecraft, to building your first shelter to making some ammo to take on a community you found while scavenging for supplies. Which brings me to my next point. You will be mad when you die. You can literally just walk by someone, unarmed and type in the message box "friendly", and get shot right in the head. While not every person is mean or deadly, it is likely they will try and kill you. That's why I reccomend playing on not a large server until you're used to the game. It's not the game-makers fault of course, and it doesn't bother me too much, but I think it's worthy to point out.

Overall, Rust is, even though it has some problems like graphical errors/glitches and the community not being the nicest, a great indie title. If you have Steam, you really should buy this game.

9/10
