Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Plus, I can assure you there is no limits on the gameplay, adding the expansion should extend it more, so expect to spend from 30 to 100+ hours for it.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is decent enough for you to strive futher, and may encounter some funny moments as well.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

The idea that you used to be able to buy a game like this for 10$ and play a fully fleshed out game with beautiful artwork and character design plus actually FUN gameplay is so foreign to me nowadays in the era of free-to-play microtransaction-happy mobile games being the dominating force of the genre.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What makes Puzzle Quest stand out is its innovative approach to gameplay—blending the simplicity of matching colored gems with the complexity of character progression and tactical combat—resulting in a hybrid that appeals to fans of both puzzle and RPG genres.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also, this works reasonably well on the Steam Deck if you stick with mouse controls.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Very cool themes ( Khalkus's Theme, "I'm about to Win", ... ) and fitting sound effects.
