Yeah, see, conceptually I would agree with you, but the execution is duller than Amy Schumer's wit, it's basically 60 levels of really vague and drawn out key and switch hunting and the the only real switchup is the way the these switches or keys are styled (and even then not that much), the bestiary and fighting isn't very varied for a game that long, and the fighting gets pretty dull because you only have four weapons ever (three for most of the game) per class, no changing or anything.

There's a lot of things I want to like about Hexen, like there's some pretty cool attention to detail here and there, the aesthetics are great, and it has some nice atmosphere, but it's all so horribly thinly spread it's very difficult to really enjoy (in my opinion).

Heretic is 75% a reskin of Doom, with new levels, but at least Doom is really fun as a base. It doesn't have the most exciting concept, but the execution is competent, and that matters a lot, if high concepts mattered more than execution, people would have actually liked No Man's Sky.
(Note that I'm in no way comparing Hexen to the aforementioned turd).
