This really comes off as someone just looked at a bunch of stuff that's popular in games and jammed it all together in order to sell millions of copies and make money rather than starting from any real creative vision. Things like that can be fun, especially if well made, but rarely if ever will such a game be truly memorable.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm perfectly happy with seeing a creatively bankrupt game if it also eventually means genuine competition in a genre that's been thin for decades.

It still takes work to put all that together. This game was announced like two or three years ago and it looked pretty far into development then.
