It looked like every other generic hero shooter on the market. They were late about 6 years or so.

Every other generic hero shooter but not free

With an even more generic art direction.

And PSN requirement for PC gamers.

I can't even name another apart from Overwatch.

Unless you're counting each hero as "soldier with a slightly different machine gun".

Dirty Bomb, Monday Night Combat

These aren't even hero shooters. They're just basic arena shooters. Unless they have drastically changed since they released (which was the last time I played either).

Apex Legends is a battle royale, Gigantic and Battleborn are (were) more like MOBAs, Paladins and Dirty Bomb don't work on linux. I haven't played all of these games, but I don't think they're as interchangeable as you're implying.
