The problem is that these geners are not ad cut and dry as they used to be. Last gen it was clearly FPS, but I don't feel that is the case now. By FPS one might think CoD or Battlefield clones. This would be the correct way of thinking.
However then you have games like Fallout that are shooter/RPG games that can also be played in 3rd person and are open world?
Speaking of open world games, I feel like this hits the closest to home. However we are faced with the same problem where many of them play very differently due to sub geners. Witcher 3 is an open world RPG and plays nothing like the Ubi Soft titles such as Assassin's Creed and Far Cry (also FPS), or even Sony's Infamous Second Son. I will go as far to say that it is currently the most oversaturated subgener however.
Not to say that games cannot stand out in this category though. Given the general nature of open world games, it is still possible to make a lot of gameplay variety by mixing other geners. Breath of the Wild comea to mind, which to me is the best open world game out to date alongside Witcher 3. However they still have elements that play and feel differently that the games that are oversaturating the market.
Even a new IP like Horizon Zero Dawn can make a name for itself, unlike many FPS during its oversaturated period.
I think that overall this question has no weight, at least not like it used to. Very few games are straight up FPS, Open World, or RPG anymore. Almost all of them are mixing things up, so it is a really tough call to make.
It is for this reason that I vote none, as games these days do not assosiate with label's like they used to.
