Rust is simply one of the most enjoyable experieneces that I've ever had. The game is in Alpha so expect a few bugs but nothing game breaking, it's totally playable in its current form.

My friends and I spent our first night in Rust learning the basics. We gathered resources and built our shelter town complete with storage boxes and a shared furnance (Stone Resources seem to be scare on populated servers) surround by wooden barricades. After two hours or so we finally had enough resources to create the basic firearms (Revolver, Pipe Shotgun). After we had armed ourselves up with sufficent armor and weapons we decided we would venture further than usual from our base.

We headed south and discovered a field full of endless resources! I spotted a stone resource off in the distance and rather than check around, made an immediate mad dash for it. I begin smashing it with my hatchet, excitedly telling my friends that things were starting to look up. Moments later a Shotgun blast echoed over my speakers and I fell to the ground...dead.

My friends hearing the shots did the smart thing and fled! I was naked back in my cabin slightly irritated that I had just lost all of my gear that I had worked so hard for, apart from some basic cloth armor and a stone hatchet anything viable was gone.

After the frustration of my death faded, I set back out to re-establish myself and this time I wouldn't venture out so ill prepared.

Frustrations aside once you get going and are familiar with the lay of the land (Where Rad Towns are and Resource Spawns) Rust is actually quite enjoyable to play.

It's definitely worh the price of admission as I cannot stop playing it. It's a great game with a ton of potential.
