It's yet another overwatch clone that was thrown together as a cash grab almost a decade too late for the trend

Isn't this one unique in that it wasn't a cash grab and was in development for forever?

It's a $40 game with "live service" elements + microtransactions that (barely) marketed itself like a single player narrative-based game. The microtransactions on a premium product are an unnecessary cash grab, IMO.

Also the characters are bland looking (somewhat diverse, at least).

Every single last one of these has been a cash grab primarily designed to sell loot boxes
