14. Rust

Rust is a big multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Facepunch Studios, released as an Early Access title on Steam. Make large fortresses using the building system in an attempt to defend yourself from bandits and survive.

There is no predefined objective in Rust. You can do whatever you want to survive. Build a shelter, hunt animals for food, collect water, fight bandits or try and team up with other fellow survivors.

Trust is key to survival. Who is the traitor here?

It’s a tough and cruel world. Start out finding resources, crafting tools, and so on. But, the most dangerous thing Rust is filled with is: players. You can’t disable combat, you have to either side with the players if you trust them, or run away if you have no way to defend yourself. Be careful who you trust, as anyone may at some point turn on you and stab you in the back.

The developers don’t have a release date yet, but the game still has plenty of content that it’s still fun to play in its current state. Grab a couple of friends and set out in the harsh world of Rust.

Hell has broken loose on Earth. Humans have found out that they can use the energy of the crystals, but, will they survive from the new ferocious creatures roaming a once peaceful world?

                                                                                                                           

Observe the beautiful surroundings, danger may appear at any corner.
