Overall, a solid first impression!

The gameplay is fun, with a good amount of depth for the various aspects of managing the colony, graphics are alright [], music is neat.

My only gripe, so far, is the progression. Early on I honestly got a tad bored.. sometimes really just had to sit there and watch it fast forward for 5-10 mins, until I finally got a new worker to do something with. However, about 3 hours in, the progression sped up rapidly. a LOT of random events started happening, new tech unlocked quite quickly, and with it came more and more resources & products to keep track of. In all of that, one somewhat lost track of the "city-building" aspect of the game. People got sick, fires broke out, some warship showed up and slowed down my production considerably, and workers went on a strike, all within 15 mins of playing.

This seems like a lot, but I think it could be solved with a small amount of tweaks - mainly to speed up events early game, and slow them down a tad in the mid-late game.

Overall, 6.5/10 for now, with a lot of potential for becoming a really good/fun game!

I'll have to leave a bad review for now. I only played for 30 minutes, but I have seen enough already. Performance is horrid, the graphics really aren't anything to write home about, and some of the ingame systems/mechanics are rather janky.

I have faith they will improve it over the coming months/years, and when they do, I might be able to change to a positive review.

IMO the best game out of the new triology - a very immersive storyline & awesome gameplay!

Awesome game - A very neat storyline, and introduction to LC as a character.
Time & money well spent!

Great game. - Very fun to just mess around in, but also to actually invest some time into and properly learn.
The DEVs are doing an amazing job - it's F2P, no P2W, I have yet to encounter a bug/glitch/exploit, and the overall gameplay, despite it's complexity, is very well balanced IMO.

Very fun, and highly addictive!

Even after years, the gameplay loop is sstill very catching. Mods are great for enhancing the experience even more.

Looking forward to the Space Expansion next year!

Rust is a very interesting game!
There are many ways to go about playing it - alone or with friends, being a farmer or a PVPer...
From my experience it is the most fun playing it with a good friend, who you can trust and rely on.

On most servers, the game is brutal, and you have to be cautious in every step you take.
There are, however, also a few low pop servers, wich generally have a more friendly atmosphere to them.

From personal experience I can report, that it can end very VERY bad, if you play against your friends.....

The game also requires a lot of time - it's nothing one can play quick during a lunch break (the loading times can also take quite some time on weaker PCs). You actually have to sit down for a few hours, if you wanna achieve anything.

All in all, I really like this game, and hope the DEVs continue their amazing work on it!

Used to be a really REALLY great game, that one could play for hours on end!
Unfortunately the DEVs took a few wrong turns, and the game ended up getting worse by the day...
It still is fun to play from time to time, and I can only recommend it!
