You start the game almost naked and armed only with a rock and fire torch. The game is slightly different than the PC version, of course, but the core remains the same: survive by any means necessary. Rust: Console Edition is based on the popular PC game which has been around since 2013. I wouldn’t know, though, because in over 10 hours of play across multiple servers, I never got past knocking together a bow and arrow. ![]() Frustration is a big part of the game and I imagine that once you finally break free from that frustration, the game opens up. Other times, I’d be killed by the roaming scientists or, on a few occasions, a massive bear. My time with Rust: Console Edition was spent running around, collecting stuff so that my character wasn’t feeble, naked, and completely defenceless, and then getting killed by some cunt, losing my stuff, and starting over again. In fact, that’s my experience in a nutshell – frustrating. It’s by no means the worst looking game in existence, but it was never much of a looker to begin with.Rust: Console Edition is brutal and if you don’t have the patience, it can be downright frustrating. Having said that, Rust is not a particularly good looking game. Both options drastically improve the experience in my opinion, so good on Facepunch Studios for including them in a console title. Players can turn off motion blur and change the FOV. I will commend the developers for including graphical options in the console version. It’s in these moments that it’s not difficult to see why Rust’s emergent world is so loved. Just two people enjoying the night ambience by the fireplace. We just sat in each other’s company for a few minutes. During my first play session, I shared a campfire with a complete stranger. There are moments of excellence amongst the frustration. ![]() Without access to private servers, Rust Console Edition is a frustrating loop of dying by gunshot, and losing all of your collected materials, time and time again. New players cannot, and will not, overcome the difficulty curve if someone instantly murders them within five minutes of entering a server. It is supposed to be an often callous experience, and I’m all for that. This is of course what makes Rust what it is. Nearly all new play sessions are cut short because a group of players with guns or other advanced weapons immediately have the upper hand. Busy servers coupled with an aggressive and often toxic community makes for an underwhelming experience. In Rust Console Edition there is a limited selection of public servers, which are all mostly full. Private and custom player vs enemy servers provide newcomers the perfect avenue to learn the game’s numerous mechanics. At the time of writing, players cannot join or host private servers, which is a major problem for new players. We’re used to console games featuring stripped back graphics compared to PC, but Rust Console Edition also lacks several key features at launch. ![]()
