Should I still get Rust?

I’ve wanted to play Rust for a long time now but because of how much the game tends to cost on steam and nobody I know wanting to play the game with me, I haven’t purchased it. I’m wondering if it’s still worth it to get Rust and play as a solo.

I’ve never been great at shooter games, but I still have fun playing them. More so, I like base building and survival/crafting which is why I was drawn to Rust in the first place.

I know there are people that play the game solo, but I also know that it’s really difficult. I don’t know if I’d be able to do what they do with little to no experience. And I also don’t know if I’d be able to find a team/faction to play with online either.

I’d definitely get the game on sale, but would it be worth it? Would I be in for hell?
