it's not as good as it is on the PC simply because of the controls. I have played it most on the computer and have put hundreds of hours into it and for console, I still love it. The general idea of the game is that you are someone for a various reason While, the games graphics are lacking and the controls are. While, the games graphics are lacking and the controls are. It comes down to: 'You have Swadian Knights? Well then you win!' It is an excellent game, and i think there's a lot of potential for the sequel if they improve the graphics, tutorials and controls in combat. Battles will play out the same, and there's not much strategy involved. As you explore the game the first dozens of hours it will feel fresh, but once you've done a big portion of it the repetition sets in hard.
Apart from that, the combat on horseback has some bugs that appear all to frequently like your horse not being able to movie if you collide with another NPC.

If you do commit to learning and mastering it though, you'll feel like you are in a real medieval battle as there's no mercy towards the player.
After many hours it will start to make sense to the player, but i think this learning curve will turn off a lot of people. At first melee feels very unprecise, and ranged weapons feel pretty weak. Because of the large amount of options it always feels like the sky is the limit. By building and maintaining a relationship with these characters you can have more interactions with them, ranging from tasks to downright talking them into committing treason. There are a large amount of other NPC's that do their own thing regardless of you, making the game feel interactive and alive. The graphics look dated as if they come straight out of a Playstation 2 game, but the abundance of options in gameplay are more broad than most RPG's as you have to manage an army with food, moral, honour and skills. How you start in terms of location, skills and background story is completely up to you, and even has an effect on how hard the game will be for you.
