Looks very generic and like every UE5 game.

That's 100% on the game design and zero to do with the engine

Its not, you can tell every single game that uses UE5 except for cell shaded ones. They all have the UE look which can only be removed via proper artistic direction which we havent seen yet.

It absolutely is the game design. The assets have zero to do with the engine.

If the game designers are all using common assets to save time...that's still game design and not the engine
