    Broken promises and a game that crashes in every single mode after launch. Combine that with removing acess to the classic version and blizzard managed to kill wc3 after being active for 17 years

    I gave it a one because it is WC3. I played for an hour and requested a refund. This game is garbage and a total embarrassment for a once great game developer. The Blizzard of old is long since gone. This was the final nail in the coffin for me. This game is inexcusable.

    Just a complete travesty.

    How on earth this Activision C.E.O. has lasted for as long as he has is beyond me. Transcendently incompetent!

    Congratulations, after 20 plus years as a Blizzard customer I'm out for good.

    Terrível, Blizzard se tornou pior que a EA, e olha que isso e uma tarefa muito difícil. E triste ver como esse jogo foi arruinado, tinha tudo para ser um jogo 10/10.

    Well, WarCraft 3 Reforged is not a bad game (as the s***storm here seems to show) but Blizzard seems to know how to underdeliver.

    Multiplayer on the other hand, well Blizzard should have moved the release date until the game is really finished.

I don't think anyone at Activision Blizzard even knew OR CARED about what it is they had. They pissed on it and they pissed on a lot of fans for a cash grab. What exactly are they gonna do with that money anyways? Put it into Overwatch 2? Diablo 4? People will buy Overwatch 2 but you can kiss Diablo 4 profit margins goodbye, ESPECIALLY after this.

    Onto the review:
    -They left out A LOT of things. They just didn't put them in, or even bother to put them into a patch. No word as of this review when they will be added
    -no ladder
    -no skirmish
    -offline play has "timeouts" instead of a proper pause. Really guys? Did it cost that much to put that in or are you just power hungry?
    -No new UI, it's just a painted over UI of the old one
    -Absolutely zero Quality of Life upgrades. None. They are non existent.
    -None of the cutscenes are remastered or redone or anything. They removed the Stratholme cutscene AND IT IS STILL IN THE GAME FILES
    Biggest blunder from Activision Blizzard. Both companies are responsible for this mess, for having yes men who blindly agree with everything in Blizzard without even saying "stop we need more time" and for Activision for just seeing this as paycheck. I give the company another 5-10 years MAX before they are no more.

    I've played Warcraft III for 12 years. I can accept being sold a bad product. It happens. Losing $30 never killed anyone. When a developer has the audacity to make a mandatory update that removes the most endearing features in a classic title, take "moral ownership" of its community's mods, falsely advertise new features, and try to charge their player base for it? That's utterly unacceptable.

    I like the game, but seriously this is extremely disappointing without even talking about the false advertising. I think it should be abundantly clear that what they have done with the game is unacceptable. Many features from the old game don't work, and the graphical upgrades, while nice, are not nearly good enough to justify it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No bot battles. No PVP clans/ladders. Custom games seriously effed up. Buggy stattery gameplay - even the menus bug out occasionally. Original game clients disappearing or being effed up. People can't play the games THEY BOUGHT 18 YEARS AGO (yes I have the original CDs). Whatever "reforging" of cinematics, esp. the epic fight at the end of main game, it made them simply worse and stupid. Missing voice acting from units. Lots of what people loved in the original game is gone - and on top of that Blizzard doesn't let people own the custom games they create. AND ON TOP OF THAT, they ban people who mention this stuff in forums and demand refunds.

    Made a metacritic account just for this: Eff you Blizz. Just, eff you.

    This is the product you´ll get when sales people dictate what gamers want.
    All the custommaps are gone because Blizz now OWNS everything a modder would add to it. Things got cut because of their problematic nature. This is a over 10 year old game, with updated but still outdated models, trimmed moddabilty & funtionality ( you cant even play against AI offline!) also your old WC3 gets overwritten with the latest updates so if you still like the old look and want to play online... tough luck. Cant wait until Blizzard will sell the old graphics as DLC for the laughable price of 20$. Blizzard doesnt deserve your money, even if you´re a rich bloke.

    Shame. Shame on you, Activision Blizzard. You just had to make cuts from a series so beloved, did you? No more. I'm tired of giving the benefit of the doubt. No more chances. You're done. You lost a customer from me, and all of my close friends.

    As everyone can see from user reviews on Metacritic and other forums, this is probably the worst title release from a formerly respected AAA developer in the whole history of gaming.

The saddest part? It's not even an original title but a reskin of an 18 year old game that missed on so many promises that one has to wonder why Blizzard had even bothered at all? Money made from a vastly disappointed playerbase will only last so long. Now, this isn't so much about outsourcing development, not so much about undelivered promises; no, what we are getting now is a complete silence from this developer, their community management and even support teams. Beyond the fact that the game is a let down, the once diligent company practice of engaging with players and fanning out their flames of discontent has perished too. So long, Blizzard, and thanks for the memories. Expand

    As a Warcraft 3 fan I was ecstatic that Blizzard decided to revamp it. I bought the pre-order, but the game plays and feels like **** compared to what was promised.

    The lack of polish from what was promised makes this game feel like a cheap Chinese ripoff.

    I genuinely feel like I've been scammed. This was my last ever Pre-order.

    The only pros are some of the new mod tools, i.e Lua capability, but whats the point when hard work now belongs to blizzard who puts half ass work into their own IP.

    I've never played the original, so I don't see the negatives the die hard fans do.

    How could they release it like that ? With no match making, rankings, profiles, stats ? Buggy interface and multiples bugs (tree selections, game speed changing randomly) ?
    They had a chance to revive one of the best RTS ever, and they blew it. It's not a labor of passion, and all the people involved should feel ashamed.

    We were wrong. This game is a disaster. Get away from it as fast as you can. As a matter of fact, we need to leave Blizzard behind, not just this game. They're done. Over. Finished. They've already gone supernova, we're just haven't seen it yet.

    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.
