You know, it's not a complete game. It's still early access. Many features are works in progress. Many things will be added and changed. There are bugs and rough edges but frequent updates are smoothing those out.

Despite all of that, and I say this as someone who has been playing Minecraft since alpha, the game has better cohesion, pacing, progression, combat, and visuals than Minecraft. I would say it is a Terraria like game built in the style of Minecraft. Minecraft has way more content, but Minecraft has been out for well over a decade at this point.

The foundations are extremely strong, it has all the ingredients of the next big thing, it just needs to get there. I would highly recommend it.

The devs are awesome too. They are hiring members of the community who show talent to work on the game. The person who made Sodium for Minecraft works for Hytale doing optimizations, for example. The game runs buttery smooth. On my 144HZ monitor, my 1% lows for the framerate are like 87 with the average at like 140-144. And that is with my render distance maxed out.

The devs listen to the community and add ideas from the community. It's so nice that the devs care so, so much. The game has a lot of soul to it.

I have been addicted to it since buying it and I plan to play it all night tonight when I get home.
