Personally I think the whole "you shoot things hence Shooter/FPS" is wrong and misleading.
I tend to agree with this (taking it at face value).
It’s more intricate with how much shooting there is and how it (shooting) works mechanically - and the interplay therein.
Although.. For what we’ve been shown and told, I think it leans pretty heavily on the side of narrative driven shooter with RPG and simulation elements.
Sadly enough.
Looking at the gameplay, it just makes me shrug.
