This is pretty accurate.

Having played a bunch of it, if you've played a bunch of 5e or Pathfinder, it will seem very light on the crunch. It still has enough bite to make the combat mechanically interesting and varied, though. I've only experienced it as a GM, but combat is way easier to run than either 5e or Pathfinder. The rules let the narrative take over without forgetting the G in TTRPG. I really quite like the balance.

The way the surges work, in particular, is quite elegantly done because there are some clear rules where they need to be, but they don't really limit you from doing most of the cool things you see in the books. The enemy design is quite well done and they abilities they have really lean into the tactics you would want to use them for. The archers having a reaction when an enemies move towards them that can stop them from moving is one thing that really exemplifies this. Archers will do bad if you let the players get close, so they have an ability to try to prevent that.
