With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy:

If your FPS is set in space, prison, Hell, or war-torn Europe, it might be generic.
If your primary enemies are the police, aliens, demons, or Nazis, it might be generic.
If your game's arsenal can be described as "a melee weapon, a pistol, a shotgun, a rapid-fire weapon, a really really accurate weapon, an explodey weapon that bounces, an explodey weapon that flies, and a BFG," it might be generic.
If your game engine's latest innovative feature involves hiding behind objects, it might be generic.
If you game contains any references whatsoever to H.P. Lovecraft, especially misused references, it might be generic.

I've never actually played a FPS which is set "in space", save the way that all of us are in space.

 

Doom, Halo, Moon, plenty more.
