Computer RPG Games
Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.
Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.
Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

General consensus I've seen is that it's fun but you can tell it's early alpha. It's also not different enough from Minecraft if you're bored of Minecraft.
Just my opinion, but I could only see this being true for people who play modded Minecraft. The combat is very different, farming and food is very different, the enemies are different, there's a bunch of furniture in the game. There's a very good, built-in character customization system. It visually looks very different.
I'd need, like, 4 mods and a shader in Minecraft to get a similar experience.
Not saying Hytale is better or worse. But, I think it's done well to separate itself in the survival genre so far and it only just released in early access. If the voxel-type game isn't something a person generally likes, it's easy to look at it and think, "Block game is similar to block game."
that's why this article is NOT surprising at all. people essentially just ported the machines/PCs they made in MC to this game, since this is literally a reskinned Minecraft, or a standalone mod for Minecraft.
