Hytale's multiplayer is much less complicated than it looks, though the lack of an option to invite friends right from the main menu doesn't make things obvious when starting out. Nevertheless, you can play the entire game alongside a group of friends, which makes all the difference when you're exploring a fresh world.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
