The religion mechanics of Troy + Ark of the Covenant would be incredible.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Mythos expansion is worth it to experience the "expedition" narrative where you make choices to shepherd a chosen expedition army to a final epic live-action tactical battle against a legendary monster that you will recuit after and control in battle against your enemies.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I also LOVE the more colourful and mythological art style (it is vibrant and engaging).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As for sounds, I already mentioned those annoying, reoccurring remarks, but the soundtrack does a fine job, underlying the overall qualities of the audiovisual.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

Another addition to replayability is that each faction has its own roster, with advantages and disadvantages, ranging from minor to gamebreaking.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While this series tend to have optimization problems, TROY’s framerate was the most consistent for me, having fewer frame drops even during large battles, so that is a slight improvement compared to other instalments.
