Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There are enough axis of progression (heroes, cities, spells, map etc...) that the next goal is always just around the corner.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
AoW2 looks good, sounds decently good – with most of the work being done by the sound effects, because the music in this game is stupendously forgettable, and the voice-acting is either simply alright or a little bad – and presents itself, overall, in a good enough manner.
