There comes a time in every persons life when they need to take a look at themselves and wonder how exactly they reached such a place. You have to truly ponder what decisions you have made along the way that brought you to the place of your final reckoning in this unforgiving world.

It is still unclear, even to me, why I purchased Rust. There isn't anything wrong with it; the survival challenges and the interactions with others are perfectly stellar. But when you look at it as a choice, you realize just how flawed your priorities are in this post-apocalyptic environment.

What drove me to choose such a game? What part of my existence felt so empty that I thought building a base and fighting for survival could fill it? When I look into the boundless depths of my own loneliness within Rust, I see a landscape of reflection. There are only echoes of gunshots and footsteps in that landscape, sounds of the struggle for survival and the pursuit of resources.

If it were up to me again, I know I would purchase Rust again in a heartbeat. I know I would navigate the harsh landscape, building shelters and forming alliances. Yet, despite the challenges and the potential danger at every turn, I still chose to immerse myself in this game and devote hours of my life to it. That time will never return to me, lost like the resources I gathered and the structures I built, but it's an investment in the experience of survival.

There is something broken within me, something that desires a sense of accomplishment beyond the challenges of this world, something that faces the struggles of Rust every single night. In my pursuit to find meaning in this survival, I sought the rugged beauty of a world that only exists in the sounds and sights of Rust.

I am unsure what the moral of this review is, I am unsure about my place within the universe, all I know is that no amount of struggles can cure the vast challenges that have overtaken me in this harsh landscape.
