    After 35+ years of gaming War3 : Reforged is one of the laziest, low effort cash grabs I've seen.

    Edit* Oh look there's over 1000 Activision / Blizzard employees.

    One of the worst remasters I have seen. This was more like a poorly made PC Port. Everything from how the utilized the word "Remastered" to the poorly communicated expectations. The art looked worse than the original game which is completely bewildering. Lack of updated graphics options, no wide screen support. It seemed like a blatant hubris decision by Blizzard.

    The game was one of the most anticipated video game remasters, promising to bring back the beloved classic with improved graphics, updated gameplay, and enhanced features. However, upon its release, it became evident that the game fell far short of the expectations set by both longtime fans and newcomers. From technical issues to questionable design choices, here's a comprehensive review of why Warcraft III: Reforged sucks.

    Broken Promises and Missing Features:
    One of the major issues with Warcraft III: Reforged was the substantial discrepancy between the pre-release promises and the final product. Blizzard initially showcased stunning cinematic trailers and touted a complete overhaul of graphics and cinematics. However, when the game launched, many of these features were missing or poorly executed. Several iconic cutscenes were removed, leaving players feeling cheated and short-changed.

    Technical Problems and Performance Issues:
    Upon release, Warcraft III: Reforged was plagued with numerous technical problems and performance issues. Players encountered frequent crashes, frame rate drops, and connectivity problems, hindering their ability to enjoy the game. Blizzard's failure to address these issues in a timely manner further frustrated the player base, contributing to a disappointing experience.

    Downgraded Graphics and Art Style:
    While the remastered graphics in Warcraft III: Reforged were initially expected to be a highlight, they turned out to be a massive letdown. The promised overhaul was scaled back, and the visual improvements were not as impressive as anticipated. The new art style failed to capture the charm and atmosphere of the original, leaving players longing for the classic look they loved.

    Uninspired Unit and Building Design:
    Unit and building design in Reforged also proved to be uninspired. While the developers claimed to have improved models, many units lacked the detail and character of the original, resulting in a bland and lifeless feeling throughout the game.

    Disastrous User Interface:
    The user interface (UI) in Warcraft III: Reforged was a major point of contention among players. It was clunky, cluttered, and difficult to navigate, making simple tasks unnecessarily complex. This poor UI design hindered the overall gameplay experience and frustrated even veteran players who were familiar with the original game.

    Removal of Classic Version:
    One of the most baffling decisions made by Blizzard was the forced upgrade to Reforged, which left players with no option to play the classic version of Warcraft III. Many fans preferred the original experience, and the absence of this option alienated a significant portion of the player base.

    Lack of Content and Support:
    Warcraft III: Reforged lacked the additional content and support that players had hoped for. The game shipped with minimal new features and failed to introduce any compelling post-release updates or expansions, causing the game to quickly grow stale.

    Conclusion:
    In conclusion, Warcraft III: Reforged was a massive disappointment that failed to deliver on its promises and left fans feeling betrayed. Technical problems, downgraded graphics, uninspired design, and a lack of essential features all contributed to a lackluster gaming experience. Blizzard's mishandling of the remaster alienated a passionate community and showcased a lack of care and dedication to one of its most cherished franchises. Warcraft III: Reforged is an unfortunate example of how not to handle a classic game remaster.    … Expand

    Not only is the game marketed via fraud, the Brack loser issued a non-apology blaming consumers for believing Blizzard's lies.

    Blizzard also snuck in ToS that gives Blizzard ownership of anything you create with WC3:R. Pure trash.

    Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne & Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos
    Was a masterpiece. But Reforged is a slap in your face.

    Blizzard just do the same like they do since 10 Years; money is all and quality is not worth anything.
    They destroyed Call of Duty, and they will do this also with WarCraft and other games.

    The game itself has over-promised and under-delivered, which won't be the worst offense. The worst one is that this re-release it has ruined the original game from 2001 which now required a 22GB download to still play the exact same original game which was 1.5GB.

    Strict , and previously unannounced rules are now set in place that grants Blizzard 100% ownership of all custom games created by players, utilizing the included in-game map editor tool, and are not required to give public credit to the content creator themselves. As a result, long time modders of the game are unwilling to spend days on end developing free content for other warcraft players to enjoy.

    Above all else - Blizzard is outright denying refunds requested by 100s of 1000s of players as reported on reddit.

    Warcraft III "Reforged" is an absolute disgrace to gaming, and a slap in the face to anyone with even the slightest bit of intelligence. It deserves every bit of outrage that it is receiving from its fanbase, and Blizzard-Activision should face class action lawsuits for all the poor business practices that are being displayed, and for the unfair treatment of their consumers.    … Expand

    Some of the new models are too ugly and are not faithful recreations of the original models. Applies to 3d moving portaits as well. Thrall and Maiev come to mind.
    During the Campaign, some effects are missing during certain cut scenes, rendering them worse than they were originally (Arthas walking into the fog at the end of the Human Campaign in RoC, Tyrande collapsing the Bridge in TFT).

    The new cut scenes are not "reforged" in the manner advertised back during BlizzCon 2018 and the way it is advertised on the official site for the game.
    No new UI.
    Major features such as Ladder, profile statistics and Clans are missing.
    Ridiculous change in ToS, giving Blizzard ownership of any custom maps created by users

    In the first official statement from Blizzard after the release of WC3 Reforged, the developer team said the following:
    "We want to say we’re sorry to those of you who didn’t have the experience you wanted"

    This basically suggests, that the players didn't get the experience they wanted, because they had unreasonably high expectations and based them on what they themselves wanted.
    The truth is, that the players based their expectations on what was advertised back in 2018, and also based on what is advertised on the official site for them game to this day.

    The devs also said, that they announced, that the cutscenes from the trailer are related to "individual concerns", that they are not going to bother to address, and that supposedly they let the community know, that these wont be in the final product on some pannel on BlizzCon 2019, which nobody watched... yet they continue to use them in the trailer and the official site for the game.

    Sometimes you have to made a stance. Blizzard has made many stupid or borderline decisions regarding this game.

Then there is the refund problem. People were banned for helping others to get refunds for this game (It should be mentioned that Blizzard gave another explanation) and try to make refunding as hard as possible. Again look this up for yourself. They latter back-pedalled but it was to late. This is already the lowest rated game on Metacritic. Blizzard please don't become the next EA.

    The optimization is horrible, with laggy menus (probably because it's a chrome web app, I'm serious....), the new UI is a nightmare, the intro cinematic made me think I was having a stroke it was so choppy, most of the updated visuals look like garbage, including basically no diversity in their ground templates, and spells that look like someone gave up half way though making them (Bladestorm......).

    False Advertising, Broken Promises, Lies & Deceit... Warcraft III: Reforged.

    • Key Problems for me (Custom Map & Campaign Player)

    - No new UI or UI Scaling options.
    - No new cut-scenes (they have been improved upon but nothing close to what was promised and showcased)
    - New models are nice but don't fit with their surroundings (Cartoony terrain & buildings vs dark and gritty models)
    - Colouring in the game has been changed, much darker and harder to focus on.
    - Feels as if I'm playing the 2002 version, extremely hard to notice changes apart from the new models.
    - Sound seems the same, nothing improved? no new soundtracks, etc.
    - Copyright issues with lots of Custom Maps (Blizzard own all user-created custom maps and won't support anything that could lead to a copyright claim)
    - Camera Zoom still capped extremely close to the screen.
    - High $30-40 price compared to other 'Remasters & Definitive Edition' games also on the market which clearly had a lot more work put into them.
    - Terrain detail actually seems worse despite being higher resolution, when you compare the old WC3 terrain next to WC3:RF, the terrain in the old WC3 has a lot more detail. WC3:RF terraiin is very smooth and lacking detail.
    - Character Animations: This links to the cut-scenes again, the characters interact with one another like mannequins - mostly it's just the head that moves left and right, they look so stiff and awkward.

    • Summary:

    From someone who plays a lot of remasters (Final Fantasy, Age of Empires, Commandos, Company of Heroes, Resident Evil & more) I can safely say that this was a extremely lazy remaster by Blizzard, there simply wasn't enough passion or skill that went into this remaster, it literally feels like a cash-grab (and an expensive one at that)

    Since the new models in-game were produced by Lemon Sky Studios and this is really the only key improvement shown in WC3:RF, it makes you think - what exactly did I pay Blizzard $30-40 for? Surely I should of just paid Lemon Sky directly.

    WC3:RF is not a bad game since it's literally just 2002 WC3, the reviews are so low because of broken promises and expectations being shattered, this is just a really lazy remaster of a game.

    • Final Conclusion:

    I expected more. I always have high expectations for Blizzard but sadly after this, I will never have high expectations again. I've lost complete faith in Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 now as well.

    If you are looking for some excellent examples of what a good Remaster/Reforge/Definitive Edition should be - look to Microsoft and the Age of Empires series, they are owning that. They have done magnificent jobs and improvements across the board of both AOE1:DE and AOE2:DE. Then you compare the level of work that went into those Definitive Editions and you look at WC3:Reforged and you just feel completely let down by the level of work that did not go into Reforged.

    If you have never played WC3 then sure pick up Reforged and I'm sure you'll have a good time with it (but) it does feel extremely dated still, it does not feel like a 2020 game. It feels as if you're still playing the 2002 game    … Expand

    Blizzard has addressed some of the complaints and criticism hurled its way, and has promised to work on many of these issues. Naturally, one must ask why the game was released in such a state, especially considering the negative attention the company has garnered over the past year with the reveal of Diablo Immortal and the Blizzard/China controversy.

    In the end it’s worth noting that when viewing a remake or remaster what needs to be taken into consideration is the source material, how it looks, feels, and plays. That is, in addition to the work carried out to recreate moments, update visuals, and change any of the presentation. To do otherwise would be silly, a terrible game with a wonderful remaster doesn’t warrant a high score. In the case of Warcraft III, the inverse to that is also true. So, what we end up with is something in-between. A classic reborn, in a package that doesn’t warrant all that much in the way of celebration.
