On the negative side though, there isn't anything too distinctive about this particular version to warrant existing players to check it out on a brand new platform.Ĭross-play here is present between PS4 and Xbox One, but it's not possible to play with PC players. On the positive side, the game is a faithful port of the PC original and little has been tampered with when introducing it to a new audience of players. Well, it turns out not a great deal, which can be seen as either a positive or a negative. If you've already played Rust on PC, you might be wondering what exactly is different between this new console version of the game and the original. The core loop of harvesting materials and building better gear for yourself is an addictive one and there is an alluring sense of danger too, as your current inventory is always on the line when you are out scavenging.

Using basic materials like wood, rocks, and cloth you can construct your very oven safe haven from the horrors outside and you can build weapons and armour to better protect yourself. There is no story or objectives present within Rust and instead you must make your own fun when braving it against the elements. Other players are also a major threat when exploring the open sandbox and you'll want to make sure you're appropriately armed or you'll risk having your entire inventory looted. Death in Rust is pretty much around every corner, as you need to manage your depleting levels of thirst, hunger, and health and protect yourself from environmental hazards such as radiation and the cold.

After waking up without clothes next to a river, you must then go out and gather the materials needed to help you survive within Rust's punishing world.
