This looks excruciatingly boring.
To each their own. The visuals of Take On Mars are exceptional and the terrain is derived from orbiter scans and photos - it's as close to the surface of Mars as you can get in a game. The rover dynamics and game mechanics are a bit, well, game-y, but I believe the price point is going to be pretty reasonable.
I'm waiting to see what the final product looks like, but I definitely wouldn't write it off so quickly.
