    A miserable effort from a company that use to pride itself on quality. Lies about features, downgrades and bugs. Run away while you can. "No King lives forever"

    Blizzard has had this coming for a while now. Ever since the Dumpster fire that was BFA, the Blitzchung debacle and now this lazy rip-off of a "Game".

    One of the most important games of Blizzards entire catalogue and they haven't got a shred of respect for it or their customers. Blizzard deserves to burn for this attrocious display of laziness and scumbaggery.

    Do not buy this game. I repeat. Do not buy this game. This is not a proper remaster. They didn't even deliver even half of the promised featured and somehow even more broken than the original release. And don't get me started with the World Editor EULA change. Now any custom map you make is automatically owned by Blizzard without questions asked.

    I was streaming this game and trying to say good things about it by zooming in on the models. . . Then I discovered more problems. WAY MORE PROBLEMS. Like, "being able to see through models," kinda problems. And the "awkward UI with the sides showing the map" problems. And "The humans look like drug addicts" problems. And "The high elves look middle-aged and older" problems. And so. Much. MORE.

    Blizzard stopped letting us run the classic edition. WHY? Feel bad I cannot login the classic BN on the reforged edition. The SC remastered has the BN interface to let us login using our old accounts, but this game doesn't let us do it. I am afraid my old WC3 accounts and records disappear. Feel bad man...

    To top it off they wont refund and i live in Australia so newsflash they are breaking the law. this game is trash and deserve no money.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not trying to jump on the bandwagon of boycotting Blizzard although I do agree that what they have done recently is some of the worst marketing and decision making I've ever seen. WC3:Reforged is just... Well it's terrible to say the least. The animations are clunky, the units are almost unrecognizable and they feel rushed and uninspiring. we were promised voice acting, brand new cinematics, a downright beautiful game. what we got was an unpolished, rushed, buggy, unoptimized game that feels more like a cash grab than an a remaster. If this is the standard that Blizzard is holding themselves to, then I am deeply concerned for their future games like Diablo 4 and any attempts to possibly "remaster" Diablo 2. This is such a shame. I'd be more upset but honestly I'm just disappointed. Expand

    Forgetting the copyright issues with custom games, the lack of advertised remastered cutscenes, new voiceover work and altered lore the game is not even up to the same standard of the original released in 2002, it's glitchy , campaign can make you lose without clicking , online servers disconnect , no decent online ladder system and much more. Blizzard dropped the ball with this one.

However this pathetic excuse for a game “remaster” is nothing more than a testament to how far a this company has fallen. Blizzard Entertainment is nothing more than a husk of a fragment of their former self. There are no words in the English language that can describe or measure my amount of disappointment in Blizzard or the level of stupidity and lack of clear foresight the company has. Blizzard is no longer the company you or me once knew, they are now nothing more than a fat calf suckling at the **** of greed, ignorance and failure. A pathetic excuse for a gaming company with a pathetic excuse of excuses for their countless and constant failures. Do not buy this game, do not buy any Blizzard product.

    Worst remake ever. Buggy as hell with new textures scaled and slapped onto old models. Avoid at all cost

    Paid $30 to receive a buggier, less accessible version of a game I have owned for 17 years. The graphics are, in my opinion, one of the ugliest things I have ever seen in my entire life. The new UI is likewise something I would expect from an indie dev making his first demo game. Blizzard spent years being known for their excellent polish. Smooth, intuitive and gorgeous UIs were somethingPaid $30 to receive a buggier, less accessible version of a game I have owned for 17 years. The graphics are, in my opinion, one of the ugliest things I have ever seen in my entire life. The new UI is likewise something I would expect from an indie dev making his first demo game. Blizzard spent years being known for their excellent polish. Smooth, intuitive and gorgeous UIs were something they were famous for. The Reforged UI is ugly, awkward, and looks like it was designed for a smartphone screen, or at least 800x600 resolution with its tiny buttons, tiny text, and massive chunks of wasted space.
    If the game were just ugly, I'd probably give it a 4 or a 5, but its horrid visuals are not the real problem.

    Blizzard, still mad about losing rights to Dota, changed their ToS to include that any custom maps users create belong to Blizzard. Nobody is going to put in the work to create a custom map if there's the possibility that their idea will be stolen from them, with no credit given to them at all. Many professional RTS players agree that WC3 isn't a particularly great RTS. WC3's outstanding success and popularity came from the custom map scene, which has been strangled to death before it could be reborn. I would occasionally play normal melee maps in the past, but I bought Reforged specifically to experience the revival of the custom map scene. I thought Blizzard would have learned from SC2 that their invasive ToS will drive away map makers, but evidently not.

    In summary, Warcraft 3 Reforged is a direct, and significant downgrade from the original game, and to rub salt in the wound, the original game is no longer available. One of my favorite games, that I have enjoyed since childhood and have never stopped loving, and would still play even up until last month, is now gone forever, and Blizzard expects me to pay them to access its mangled corpse. I sincerely hope they approve my refund request, and this will be the last time I ever support Blizzard.

    One of the most disappointing days in a long time. I was promised so much more with this game and I knew I should not have trusted Blizzard. I did not pre-order it just saw that it could be purchased. I mean what could go wrong? Everything it seems...

    Das alte Spiel neu aufgesetzt allerdings in schlecht. Dafür 30 € zu verlangen ist eine Unverschämtheit. Nutzer in Europa können das Spiel innerhalb von 14 Tagen per Gesetz widerrufen. Dafür genügt eine E-Mail an den Blizzard support

    As a Warcraft Fan from the beginning this Game ist absolutely disappointing. Technically ruined, not even the new game but the classic wc3 as well with this rubbish patch. I am not even talking about the promises Blizzard broke relating to the expanded campaign. Options you set will not be saved. Towers and heroes not working properly, wrong colours etc. I cant even start the campaign.As a Warcraft Fan from the beginning this Game ist absolutely disappointing.

    The game in it's current state is virtually unplayable. I wouldn't be so upset about it if they didn't decide to migrate the classic version to the new Battle.net service and render that unplayable too.

    I didn't buy the Reforged version. I just wanted to be part of history. I'm still in the mourning of Blizzard from the announcement of Diablo Immortal.

    Positives:
    - Questionable graphics that are more up to date.
    Negatives: - False advertisement. Promised content does not appear, AT ALL, in the game. - Game is unbelievably buggy. You know the saying "Bethesda Buggy?" Worse than that. Worse than Fallout 76 levels of buggy. - The graphics for models are more up to date; however, the models do not feel as if they belong. - Stiff

    - The graphics for models are more up to date; however, the models do not feel as if they belong.
    - Stiff animation on top of the questionable models.
    - Only one or two remastered cutscenes, every other cutscene is either a simple upscale to 1080p, or doesn't exist.
    - UI breaks occasionally making the game unplayable.
    - Online services for the game are currently broken and unplayable.
    - Some single player content is currently broken and unplayable.
    - If you were somehow lucky enough to work on custom games, don't bother. Blizzard will take all credit for your work and not even credit your name.
    - This game, somehow, prevents the original Warcraft III from being playable, so you can't even go back to your original copy, it's been made virtually unplayable. If you install a fresh copy of Warcraft III, you have to make sure it's from the disc, as the game will automatically update if installed from the Battle.net app. After you install your copy of Warcraft III, you can never turn on Battle.net or it will attempt to update your copy of Warcraft III. The single player content for Warcraft III will be untouched and playable, but the online play is no longer possible as old Battle.net servers are gone, and the new servers require the Battle.net app.

    *Don't blame the development team, they likely knew the game was unfinished. Blame the corporate side of Blizzard for rushing the game out to make a last minute revenue gain in Q4 2019.*

    Make this game disappear from existence

    If you already OWN a copy of warcraft 3, now you'll have to download 30GBs of unusable content that overwrites your own game and it simply didn't work for me cause the game wanted to update but for some reason it couldn't. I could not play anything not my old game, nor anything, even if I uninstalled the whole 30gbs garbage and installed my old cds

I could not play anything not my old game, nor anything, even if I uninstalled the whole 30gbs garbage and installed my old cds (glad I keep those around after 10+ years) the game automatically tries to update to reforged. Ok, put my own experience aside, is Reforged actually good? Nope, it's worse than the original game, there's no ladder, there's more bugs, the game is CLEARLY unfinished, colors are inconsistent between buildings of the same race, sizing of units and buildings are inconsistent, some units, specially undead, have a base color that is over the team color (skeletons are GREEN just GREEN you can't tell them apart from a regular creep and good luck finding your own statues/destroyers in a mirror). Things we saw since first spoilers and beta were not fixed, more bugs were added, old users who don't upgrade to a better PC won't be able to play the SAME GAME they've been playing for years, there's NO ADDED CONTENT, it's just 30GB of SKINS. This is the worst game ever released and blizzard can't even go back until they fix stuff because now the damage is already done. I'd love if they just apologized and took it back than gave free stuff for everyone who bought reforged (like skins that are worth NOTHING AT ALL in warcraft 3). But they won't. They will patch to death and luckily kill this game
    . And riot games will launch their version of warcraft 3 with mostly the same abilities and all the pro warcraft players will migrate to that

    4+ hours of reformed cutscene are not to the quality that they show on the site to buy the game. Killed a good portion of the custom game scene.

    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.

    If you set your expectations a little lower, then Warcraft 3: Reforged is a game worth of your time and money. Sadly, for many of us out there, we were expecting a little more.
