In my mind the sandbox bit is exactly what makes it boring in the first place.
Looking at the videos. It's like they took all the things that make molyneuxs good ideas come out bad in practice. They then multiply the worst aspects of those things, giving you a limitles ammount of slow paced drudgery to sift through. And no real goals or incentives that anyones going to care about once they experiments with a couple of places.
Looks like the kind of game that should have been a screensaver that you tweak every now and then and come back a week later to see if anything happened whilst you were away.
