I talked about this with a friend. From what I've seen it's about the spectacle. It might not have Dark Souls levels of technical and mechanical design mastery, but hot damn, the sheer fucking spectacle of it all!
I think that's the genius of the game. It's not meant to be a space for player to hone or practice their action RPG combat skills. It's meant to blow their minds and make them feel powerful.
