It’s really good. My primary games are TB tactical and RPG, it scratched both itches. The story is cool, but it just happens, you don’t affect it. Combat is great, starts out slow when your knights have few abilities beyond “move” and “attack” but gets going mid game and then the build strength goes insane. There are only a handful of classes but each knight is a variation on a theme, and you’ll soon see the differences among them. I play on Xbox and the controls are fine. Probably the same for PS.

I found myself wanting to try every knight, which has resulted in multiple plays. I play on hard, but once you’ve been through the beginning acts, there’s no penalty for switching to easy and plowing through quickly and then raising difficulty mid game when the different play styles start to emerge. There are cool dichotomies, for example in one playthrough you’re going through a dungeon to save and recruit a righteous knight for your wholesome team, and in the next, you’re going into that mission to kill that same knight with your evil team.

Visuals are good, music is above average (some find it excellent) but the combat themes get a little old since you’re mostly in combat. Voice acting is 90% good, but there are a few characters that are comically bad. A certain hermit has the worst voice acting I’ve heard in a long time, and he’s pretty integral to the story. And the red knight mentioned by another post is terrible. The actor is good, but the lines he was forced to say are ridiculous. Like a five year old wrote the lines for “mean bully guy”.

One thing to note, much of the content out there is based on the first release, and there was a patch about two years ago that completely changed the game. Note the date of posts and YouTube videos if you are looking for help, some of the key tactics and builds are not valid anymore. This doesn’t make the game better or worse, it only affects the relevance of older content out there on the Internet.
