I don’t really have any knowledge of game development, but I think Vintage Story gives a decent overview of what you can expect from Hytale at the minimum. It was made by the former Hytale developer Tyron (Source). This is why he left: “Tyron was hired by Hypixel to work on their standalone game Hytale, however the game in planning was not the experience either of them envisioned.” (Source) Considering Hytale is being worked on by a lot more people it will probably have more features.

I have played the game a bit, but not enough to give an opinion on it. If you’re going to say stuff like “This is just a Minecraft clone/copy, I can do this with mods” you should try it first, you can’t know otherwise. Besides, it has been said enough already.
