In summary, since Hytale is an early access game
I realized that it looks a lot like Minecraft at the moment, but from what I understand, it should have a lot more content later on that will be released at a later date.
And since I knew it was an unfinished game because, in short, the game had been bought by RIOT Games, but about three years later they canceled it, and since they were making a new engine in C++ instead of Java and they canceled the game Hytale, one of the co-creators of the original game decided to buy back the Hytale game to uncancel it, and he decided to go back to the old Java engine for several reasons that I won't go into here. So, it had been three years since the Hytale game engine had been updated, which meant less content for the time being.
So I'm not too worried about buying the Cursebreaker pre-order in my case because I love collecting exclusives, kind of like the items for my Roblox avatar 
.
And I also think that their EULA allows more things than Minecraft, such as violent mods—by that I mean the right to use firearms on servers for role-playing, etc. So I think that's a good thing, because for the past few years I've felt that Minecraft was becoming too happy and friendly in its updates, etc.
Even though I found the game to be more of a copy-paste version of Minecraft for now, I got the impression that future updates should change a lot of things about how the game works, etc.
So I give it a score of 8 out of 10.
Because, as I said, I loved the game, but I find it too similar to Minecraft at the moment. However, I can see its future potential.
And I was also a little disappointed that I couldn't create a modpack for now, but I think that should happen later :)
& Without going into technical details, creating modpacks seems more technical because it's not supported on Hytale from what I've seen.
and I would have given it an 7 out of 10 if I had used Proton, because the developers weren't sure during the pre-purchase whether the game would be available natively on Linux and Mac, but in the end they had time to make it natively available on Linux and Mac ^^
