Playing this about two years after its release, I enjoyed the game a lot. The style, architecture, and gameplay are excellent and the dialogues and story really strong. I played it mostly on the Steam Deck and it looked and played very nicely. The only things I regretted was the last mission, which I would have loved to approach much more as a planned heist with more stealth, and the many junk missions around the map that were really quite similar. Looking forward to the DLC!

After a buggy launch, the game is in great shape now (encountered no bugs, no crashes on both PC and Mac, runs great on M1 MBA). I liked it a lot, even the kingdom management was OK. Only the difficulty spikes and grinding at the end was annoying, you're forced to buff like crazy before every fight and there are so many fights against trashmobs that advancing takes ages. I switched to story mode just to get over with it and that kind of kills the motivation. Still very good, looking forward to the sequel.

...the last act, which was horribly paced and a read drag. I also did not enjoy the Kingdom management a whole lot, but the options basically allow to sail through this part. But the overall story, companions, combat system, and graphics are all pretty great and I'm overall pretty satisfied.
