7 Things in Hytale's Early Game that Surprised Me as a Minecraft Veteran - IGN

I played some Hytale last night and some more this morning. It's fun so far! Very much on the "early" side of Early Access I would say. I wrote a short piece on some of my observations:

I did that exact thing about 6-7 years ago.

In the original Tomb Raider timeline, Lara Croft is turning 58 years old this year. In Tomb Raider 1, released 30 years ago for the PlayStation in 1996, she was 28 years old.

I have so many more.

Halo 1 and Animal Crossing are as old now as the original Frogger and Galaga were when Halo and Animal Crossing first came out (25 years).

Gears of War turns 20 this year (2006 --> 2026), which means it is now as old as the original Zelda and Castlevania were when Gears first came out. (1986 --> 2006)

Took the fam bowling. The man next to us casually bowled a perfect game. I clocked it early and was incredibly afraid my kids would mess him up somehow.

After the last strike everyone cheered and he say “first one!” And then packed up his ball and almost literally ran out?

Legendary.

When Will The Steam Machine Actually Come Out? - IGN Will the Steam Machine come out soon?

I'm starting to get the sneaking suspicion that the steam machine is gonna be really hard to find at launch www.ign.com/articles/ste...

Cautious optimism....

Genuinely great game.

I mean, I have a real soft spot for the game. If you like oldschool PVE // zone questing // tab targeting // 'its about the journey not the destination' MMOs, LOTRO is great. The UI is sadly very dated. The gameplay feels less dated.

It's free to try so try! Make a Hobbit and run around the shire.

Absolutely one of the most amazing projects I've ever been a part of.

I regret to inform you all (and any Game Scoop listeners here) that I've been sucked back into Vampire Survivors so all I care about now is watching pixels explode satisfyingly and unlocking increasingly esoteric and unknowable secrets after every run.

I'll be back to conveyor belt games soon.
