Hytale Is Becoming What Minecraft Used to Be

Hytale has been released after a tumultuous development journey that included its acquisition by Riot Games and a subsequent cancellation. The game, initially seen as a competitor to Minecraft, is still a work in progress but has foundational elements of a great gaming experience. The developers aimed to create a standalone game for greater creative freedom, and despite initial disinterest, the author chose to support Hytale after its revival. The game offers a crafting-focused RPG adventure, contrasting with the monetization strategies of Minecraft under Microsoft. While there are issues with the current build, the author remains excited about Hytale's potential for future updates and content.

It only took a week for the ultimate Silksong sicko to beat every boss in the game without getting hit

CrankyTemplar, a YouTuber, has achieved the feat of no-hitting every boss in Silksong, showcasing exceptional skill. He uploaded a compilation of his no-hit victories on the day of the game's release and later presented a two-hour supercut of defeating every boss without taking damage just one week after launch. Silksong is known for its difficulty, and the challenges are intensified by long boss runbacks. The Speedrun.com leaderboards for Silksong have not yet been established, leaving room for future challenges and speedruns. A no-hit run of the entire game and 100% speedruns are anticipated to be difficult tasks due to the game's expansive world.
