Rust is a game released by Facepunch Studios in December 2013 for Windows, but can also be played on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, giving you the ability to play Rust cross-platform, with larger global player base. The game has a similar feel to other open-world games such as Minecraft, allowing players to build spectacular areas, and explore and battle with other players.
Imagine waking up in the middle of nowhere with only a rock and a torch in your hands and having to use that to survive and build the home of your dreams, well that’s exactly what Rust is all about, only more fun.
The game gives you a very realistic experience thanks to its different features such as a day and night cycle, and a weather and temperature system, which affect the players’ state, in addition to a health, hunger, radiation and bleeding system, which require constant attention.
