Good game with some issues
Combat is good, voice acting is good, character progression is ok, story is ok, characters are cool. Crafting system has legs, but between the randomization and having to access it in camp then wait for it outside camp (so unnecessary loading screens), it's a frustrating experience. Also, I wish generic items changed name when receiving unique upgrades. There's also not enough unique gear. Beyond smaller annoyances (such as not being able to pass time in camp), the so called strategic layer is really the only downside of the game. It feels underdeveloped barely even qualifies. It consists of sending your legion to take over central province settlement (all of them with the same level of defens at ~1/3 of your legion's strength), then 'pacifying' it either by spending a resource or doing a mission (chosen at random), repeat until the map is cleared. The AI will occasionally send a small force (again 1/3 of your force) to attack a conquered province at random, but with enough heads-up for you to park your legion there and crush them. Resource management doesn't really exist, resource buildings are just consumables used to upgrade your camp. The entire thing is very barebones, very repetitive and more of a chore than a feature. And the legion battles are the worst thing since Deadfire's 'ship combat'.
