That 73 average hides a game its 280 fans would defend to the death. Survival is the whole game — scarce resources, bad odds, and every small win feeling huge. An MMO — come for the world, stay for the people in it.

About this game

Rust is a multiplayer survival game set on a procedurally generated island where players must manage hunger, thirst, and health while contending with hostile wildlife and other players. Starting with only a rock and torch, players gather resources, craft tools, weapons, and structures, and form or fight against clans in a persistent open world that resets on a regular wipe cycle. Originally developed as a clone of DayZ with Minecraft-style crafting elements, the game spent over four years in early access before its full release in 2018.
