The plot was definitely an afterthough (which is not bad by itself). but it treated itself as a writing masterpiece.
Graphics

The art style is obviously amazing and worthy of study for artists and game designers, it's how I heard about this game to begin with.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

I think the devs wanted to balance out the way they were in HoMM3 (very strong units with the combat oriented around protecting them) by giving a limit to how many units you can have in a stack, but thanks to that I ended up just filling my armies with as many stacks of ranged units as possible and going through every combat with ease.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

The 2.5d overworld is a nice aesthetic choice and expansion factions finally bring enough diversity to the roster, though overly weak AI makes this more of a social game than a singleplayer strategy challenge.
Steam Deck
