I think I'll enjoy it. It's definitely not the kind of game that everyone will be into, in spite of the high awareness and hype surrounding it. I think the kind of people who will enjoy it the most will be people who are motivated to engage in 'extracurricular' activities surrounding it. Streaming, blogging, taking part in forum discussions, taking screenshots of interesting creatures and locations and sharing them. I'm hoping that the creatures will have interesting behaviors and there will be some sort of emergent behaviors that result from different animal species interacting with each other.
I expect that it's almost like a sim game and a lot of the enjoyment of it will be coming from how each player imagines their own role in the universe. People who are expecting a very curated and guided experience with a standard plot will feel that it's aimless.
