Should I get Hurtworld or Rust?

Personally I prefer 7 days to die. if you don't like zombies you can deactivate them and it becomes similar to rust, and rust is better than hurtworld imo

Rust. Somehow I'm hearing a lot of negative feeds ongoing at Hurtworld.

Lately revisited Rust and a lot has been improved to the point where I actually wanna get it.

I'm a big fan of the first-person survivalgame genre so I might have some useful input here.

Rust is extremely hardcore PVP and an unforgiving madhouse, just so you know. (Which can be great fun)
I have not played Hurtworld so I have no comments on that one.

I checked your Game list and didn't really see anything comparable to those 2 games,

Maybe try the Free to play version of ARK: Survival of the Fittest to see if you even like these kind of hardcore FPS PVP games.
(Needs a strong PC though, but since it's free it can't harm to try)
Or like Deatwatch said, 7 days to die is a great choice, with more choices between PvE/PvP .

Or just pick whichever is cheapest and your friends play.
Cause these type of games are usually way more fun with friends to have your back. (and way less fun if you're solo-ing)

I can get you a copy of hurtworld for a nomical price your firstborn, pl0x

Haven't played either. But you can't go wrong with Ark.

Important Update
Forgot to mention this but which would run better on my laptop:
8 GB RAM
Intel Core i7-5500U @ 2.40 GHz
2GB AMD Radeon R7 M260 graphics
Thanks again for all the advice

I haven't played Hurtworld, but I have almost 600h in Rust.

To enjoy Rust, you'll have to play at least 3-4h a day or be part of a big group that takes care of stuff while you are offline. In 1-2 hours you'll not even be able to build a proper stone base that'll last a day. If you're only gonna play on weekends, you'll have to start fresh each time and waste your time farming resources that'll be gone the next time you log on

The time you want to spend playing and your hardware say big NONO to Rust since you would not be able to run it even decently and it takes much more time to even get started when you play on your own. I usually play alone and it takes about 10 hours to get a decent base and equipment which is the point when you can actually start enjoying the game.

Have not tried Hurtworld so I cannot give you an opinion about that.

I just played rust and poorly (My computer can't handle it very well) but for what I've read, hurtworld is more focused on PvP, wich in this games seems to be focused for extremely aggresive rat kids. Are you ready for that?!

If you want a survival experience that you can absolutely play in 1-2 hour chunks, try The Long Dark.

It's a single-player game, but it's awesome.

Why is no not an option?

Thanks for all the advice. I guess I'll decide on which once I get a better gaming medium and looks like Rust is more of a popular choice.

imho Rust if way too unforgiving. Unless you are playing with friends or find a decent group you have a very very low chance of surviving on your own. Think of it this way, every bloody single player out there is there to kill you. Its not survival, its slaughter.
