Hytale is the next step, it feels like.
There's certainly a new craze about this game and it's dramatic resurrection story, and I can honestly understand why. Even if it's still in early access alpha, it's a very, very charming game and actually very good.
Everything about it already seems so well done. The characters themselves look well animated and quite alive and expressive. The music is so well done and honestly perfectly ambient for this kind of game. The style already feels timeless. Modders speaks well about it and sings its praise for how easy and open it is to mod, and they love doing it.
Comparing it to Minecraft, which has years after years of modding backlog to improve the game, it just feels like Hytale is going to catch up so fast and overtake it eventually.
But credit where credit is due. Minecraft is a legendary status game. It defined a while genre and a whole generation. It deserves its praises and deserves to be in the video game hall of fame.
But Hytale honestly seems to be on a road to replace it for many, many people, and it's only gonna get better and better.
Minecraft never really caught my attention, but Hytale certainly did.
Minecraft will never die, but it feels like it can calm down a bit.
