Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Not to be left out is the compelling narrative and well-developed protagonist that immediately draws the player in.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Personally, I think the game's lore fluffy story sometimes doesn't always take advantage of the setting, DoW2 vibes to the looks of the deserts even so, but the maps where the lighting gets dialled down and the imperial buildings and ruins stand out are the ones which left the best impression on me.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It's 20 narrative battles linked by the story and a handful of HQ heroes rather than an XCom like ongoing campaign of individual unit progression.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The models could have walked off a tabletop game, the voice acting walks the line between bombast and knowing humour very well, and the whole visual and audio package comes together to showcase the Blood Angels, Nids, and the few Sisters of Battle models.
