Enjoyable but Troubled
I played all the way through and enjoyed it. It's an odd combo of spaceship and city builder. Some game mechanics are very difficult to understand. It's very easy to make a mistake and lose the game if you don't use online guides.

Mediocre: I am getting this refunded.
I found little to hate in Ixion, but also very little to love. Despite its features, it was cold. Ironically, it failed to capture the "warmth" of its inspiration, the thematically cold Frostpunk. Ixion had: Sci-fi-Check Survival-Check Base Building- Check FrostPunk Elements- Check and so on. Despite having everything I like, it was more a list of checked off features. The attempt at urgency, which the story tries to convince you through dialogues and events( and a main story plot at the start which I found just silly), falls flat due to the spacing of events, laboursome resource mechanics, and the generic unity asset-like graphics and music. What makes the mechanics a chore? There are too many arbitrary systems that clutter the game's pacing. You have close to 10 resources, as opposed to Frost punks main 3. You need to store all of these and use these to make more resources, which you also have to store. With these you build things, which requires manpower and power resources. To get resources you have 3 types of ships- one that mines, one that picks up, and one that “mines” and gets events. But before you can do any of these, you need to build probes to scan the system and find events and resources. Each probe is one use only, so you have to build a new one after each use, you cannot build a bunch at once. Having done all this, ships move like racing snails… and this is super fast mode. There are more, but these are the most glaring. To me the main issues are spacing and theme. If they reduced the resources, sped things up, and either removed or reworked the probing system, the game would not have a lot of... dead space. Graphically rough-up the buildings, have parts of the ship in shreds that need work to build up, add more clutter and shanty homes. In my 3 hours+ the game's pace did not pick up, always remaining mediocre. Not worth it's full price, and might not be worth paying 10$. I am having it refunded since it is not worth my time.

@konstigt exactly
exactly what came into my mind seeing the intro, another illogical tedious and unnecessary suffering, like Frostpunk.. many games do this 'trick' to trigger self-worth approval complex, they just eat your time with nonsense tasks, instead of making logically behaving BELIEVABLE ecosystem, you have to evolve and fine-tune..
