Probably one of the most-original game ideas ever.

I don't think many people would agree on that point, including the developers themselves. The game looks great. But it is incredibly derivative, a deliberate pastiche.

The artstyle is certainly original, but the actual gameplay/mechanics have been done about a trillion times now, both in older and very recent games. Not really very original in the end.

Doesnt make it any less good though.

The visuals are the bulk of the aforementioned originality, yes.
