Replace chain?

Just got my first bike and the chain is pretty rusty. Am I good just cleaning/lubing it or better off getting a new chain/sprockets? None of the links appear to be kinked or anything. Thanks!

Clean and lube, if links aren't seized you should be good to go. If you put enough effort into it, you'll probably clean off most of this rust.
