Studio Wildcard’s dino-themed survival sim first appeared in the primordial soup of Steam early access in June 2015, though it didn’t see a full release until two years later.

Atavistic survival sim Rust recently added a whole new area to get brutally murdered in while running around naked—a rainforest. Not only is this Rust’s snazziest biome, it’s also by far the busiest from an environmental perspective, far thicker in vegetation than the game’s other areas, as you would expect from a jungle.

Miyamoto doesn’t even get a “special thanks”.
