The lock on function makes it seem simple run of the mill shooting. But once you get a bit further in the game, you have to manage what color you are shooting at which enemy. There's risk/reward in trying to extract cores as apposed to just killing the enemy's. Also each color of enemy has a different type of attack, so you'll find yourself jumping and boosting all around the place to avoid the different types of attacks. I have not even unlocked the other robot companions yet, so I don't know what extra they will bring to the combat.
Not sure if you will call that "innovative" but it's definitely more challenging and fun than I first expected.
Honestly the platforming and combat in this game are great.
It's everything else that seems to be the problem.
