Though it seems that for the console port, the developers at Facepunch and Double Eleven have opted to use the PC launch version of the game code that left early access in 2018, forgoing nearly three years’ worth of quality of life improvements and vital updates. As of May 2021, the game has finally made its way to Xbox in a newly released Console Edition. Rust was originally released into early access on Steam in 2013 as a survival sandbox game. If Rust: Console Edition is one of your most anticipated games, you might want to make sure you’re sitting down for this review.
Micro freezing and unstable server connections currently plague the launch version of the console edition, which is both years behind on updates and expected to have a completely separate roadmap from its PC counterpart. The unrelenting abrasiveness of this world leaves little room for fleeting moments of joy. Rust’s unapologetically cruel public servers have left me a shell of my happy-go-lucky survivalist self. In Ark: Survival Evolved, I was a bit more of a trickster who would wait for my friend to go offline then quickly rename his t-rex “Raymondo” before painting it hot pink.īut Rust? None of that happens here. I would labor all day to gather the materials needed to craft unique and useful items, only to drop them into unsuspecting clanmates’ storage boxes when offline. When I played Conan: Exiles, I took up the mantel of being the Server Santa. I fancy myself something of a survival game aficionado with an agent of joyful chaos flare.
