Let me sum up xyson for you like this:

 So is Xyson good? It is if you like the following:

Slow, repetitive material collection and crafting.

Combat that belongs in the early 80's with rock'em sock'em robots (Not joking, two buttons, left hand right hand, exactly like rock'em sock'em robots).

And that's it, that's everything the game offers. Their laundry list of features is enormous but crafting one thing doesn't feel any different than another..

I've not played that much, but this pretty much matches the experience I've seen so far. 

If you are looking for a survival simulator then this is the game for you, but if you are looking for a higher order of sandbox, say like EVE or SWG was, this is not the place.

I'm waiting for launch (and stabilization) to see if it feels any different when we're playing for keeps as it were, but at this piont I'm not sure it offers enough in its present form to hold my interest.  More features are on the way, perhaps that will hold me if they start releasing them.

Pretty much sums it for me as well and I really actually like the game, but in the long run much is needed to make is playable long term. The base is there but you can't play a shell forever.

Combat that belongs in the early 80's with rock'em sock'em robots (Not joking, two buttons, left hand right hand, exactly like rock'em sock'em robots). (Agreed)

And that's it, that's everything the game offers. Their laundry list of features is enormous but crafting one thing doesn't feel any different than another.. (Thats because nothings happpening at the moment, like items breaking, so people needing to make better items that last longer)

(True, only time will tell if its all pipe dreams or a truely awesome game)
