Do you like getting assfucked by mega-clans of trolls and griefers that don't speak your language?
Then public high-pop servers on are for you.
Otherwise, game's great. Smaller servers are where it's at if you want to play solo or with a small group of three or four friends.
Personally haven't played in a while myself, but Facepunch are constantly adding and tweaking things-- usually for the better.
In the world of PVP survival games on Steam, of which I've played most, Rust is my go-to when I get that itch.

I have over 1000 hours of Rust.
I've played since legacy.
Ultimately, the game experience will vary server from server and your play style.
Personally, I've sank a lot of hours over various updates, it's an incredible game but a bit of a massive under taking and isn't for the faint of heart.
It will demand hours of your life to achieve your goals (unless you play modded but then it isn't an achievement) but I can tell you personally some of the best moments in gaming have been during Rust play sessions.
I once was in a 2 hour battle as my base was being raided. The fight literally lasted 2 hours of practically a free for all outside our base when some one got counter raided trying to raid us, so then there was counter counter raiders and the folks just seemed to gravitate towards the gun fire till I had like the entire server outside my broken gates just skull fucking each other left and right.
I heard the sounds of men dying in Chinese.
I think I ended that battle getting my brains bashed in by a rock when I was swarmed with naked people and had to reload my pistol.
Yea, fucking buy that shit.

HOLY SHIT THAT SOUNDS INTENSE! I want to be fair, it's a tough game. I'd only go into Rust knowing that you're going to lose, a lot. If you do poorly losing to other players, I don't recommend it, unless your specifically trying to build a tolerance to failure. Rust is all about failure. Failure to win a fight, failure to protect yourself, failure in building your base, and failure for not being on 24 hours a day to defend said base. It's also important to stress that High end PvP with assault rifles isn't the only end goal. Recent updates had made shops way more viable. Also just running around trying to ambush people with low end weapons is a ball or a legit strategy on your way to end game. It's a game I once harvested fresh spawned players for the fats in their body to make fuel... fuel I used to machines to gather me sulfur for gun powder. Which I turned used in bullets for killing fresh spawns so I could get more fat.

Basically 2004 era Armageddon except everyone is hungry/thirsty stuck outside of Allanak at dusk and there are no magickers, no staff, slightly more 14 year olds, and you can actually build shit without having to go through 5 layers of bureaucracy (still need to collect a lot of logs though).

If you want a lower-tech single player (or co-op only multi) version of that experience, try The Forest. Single player has permadeath.
