Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
And all this customization is not just cosmetic changes, it has a huge impact on gameplay and, in fact, determines your possible ways to victory.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
However, there's a multiplayer scene and if you're not into MP (I'm not), you can treat it as a lovely magic-heavy sandbox with a ridiculous number of toys to play with.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Now forget everything and take characters inspired of mythology/legends and stories from the whole world, a huge variety of units (with 3 new factions, the game has more than 1000 different units!!!!)
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Sound - Ambient Harmony (7.5/10): The soundtrack sets the mood for your divine conquests, underlining the game's atmosphere without being intrusive.
