Minecraft
Games Like Rust If You’re Looking for Something Similar
Not every game needs to have the same tone to capture a similar audience, and we posit to you that running afoul of a Creeper in the dead of night is just as terrifying as anything you’ll encounter in Rust.
If you’re a fan of Rust’s crafting system, you’ll feel right at home in Minecraft – you can make pretty much whatever your heart desires. The truly dedicated have managed to create everything from detailed recreations of Game of Thrones locations to roller coaster rides that last several minutes. In most people’s cases, however, they’ll just be content to fashion a crude home out of sand and bundle themselves up like a little homeless lady.
You won’t be feeling quite as much pressure to survive in Minecraft, but your imagination will no doubt be piqued by the scope of what you can do as you wander the fields, and there is a beautiful sense of freedom to that. Once you open up your world to others, that feeling is amplified even more. It’s gaming purity, and it can help rekindle that magical feeling of discovery that you felt as a child. Or you could build a tower shaped like a penis, up to you.
