The camera is most similar to action/adventure games. If you've played the relaunched Prince of Persia series or some* of the Tomb Raider games you'll notice similarities. Personally when I first played these new action/adventures I was highly disappointed with how the action camera system works. But I'm used to it and the DKS camera doesn't bother me. In fact, before you brought up the topic I didn't even notice it.
*not all were done by the same developer or in the same style so it doesn't apply to every game
