Sadly what launched even after endless delays has been nothing short of a disaster. The game has ranged from a buggy mess to crashing upon launch. Blizzard has been desperately hot fixing issues left and right to get people's issues taken care of, the graphics are all over the place in terms of quality and it somehow manages to look less like a Blizzard game than the original.

    Blizzard has been banning people for talking about how to get refunds, people who didn't even want the game are being forced onto a client that they didn't even pay for and losing tons of old features as a result, maps are immediately ending in defeat upon launch, and the list goes on and on and on.

    Sadly the main things I was looking forward have all been gotten. There is no longer 4+ hours of new cinematics, much of the improved storyline has been gutted, I thought that the pre-rendered cutscenes were being redone but nope, and even the quality of the in-game movies has been massively downgraded from what they showed off at BlizzCon.

    It's an unmitigated disaster. 0/10 would not recommend.

I'm sure they will keep on updating the game until is playable but the least the could do is offering apologies and refund the people who is not willing to be a victim of a scam, because that is what an unfinished game sold as a final product is (not everyone has full internet access in the world to upgrade things every day you know? And even if they did releasing something not finished as ready it's extremely unethical, you could just sell it as beta until it gets to a stable state and no one would complain)

    Leaving that aside, everyone knows by now the problems this game has: not being the product that was promoted, having to start matches several times to be able to play (both offline campaign AND custom games), not having a ladder system, only remastering the intro video (seriously?) and basically deleting a lot of good features of the old game, wich by the way, you can't play anymore since this one replaced it. Oh, and blizzard owns any map you make now, wich probably means bye bye to any good custom map from now on, so that's pretty much dead now

    I really hope this game gets to a playable state soon, but even if it does I'm never buying a blizzard product again before it's release, not even a Warcraft IV (if it ever comes out), wich has been something that I wanted for years. I'l wait some months to see if what they are selling is playable

    Also, I'm surprised with the positive reviews of the "critic reviews" section. Did they got paid or something?

    The release of WarCraft 3: Reforged has left players disappointed after popular features from the original like profiles, clans, automated tournaments, and even custom campaigns were left out of the game on Day 1.

    Long-time WarCraft 3 players were finally given their wish of a remaster at BlizzCon 2018 with the announcement of Reforged. Not all of their prayers were answered on the game’s January 28 release, however.

    The community has noted that the vintage real-time strategy title is lacking popular features that were included in the original game’s day one.

    I've made a quick list of features that had existed in Warcraft 3 since day 1, that got removed with this new release. Please add items I missed.

    - Automated Tournaments

    - Clans

    - Profiles

    - Ladder

    - 3D animated campaign backgrounds

    - 3D animated portraits in Battle.net

    - /slash commands in Battle.net chat

    - Communal channels listing

    Edit: Adding other things people pointed out as being removed:

    - Custom Campaigns

    - Battle.net News section

    - RoC campaign balance (RoC now uses TFT balance)

If it were just for that, but no, they also killed the modding community, responsible for the success of the old game with games like DotA, Tower Defenses and other thousands of mods that people only bought the game to play them. They imposed intellectual property over any mod made using their platform, so they could milk more any players that is doing something to make the game better.. a Along with that, they removed some features from the old game and forced the old client to update to a “reforged lite” version of this, killing the joy from from those still playing the original Reign of Chaos and The Frozen thrne Expand

My general anger is in Activision and how their greed has spread rot and decay inside of Blizzard, destroying the games and community we used to love. This is a problem which affect all of Blizzards titles where they releases as half-complete, content-poor disappointments for full price. I used to worship blizzard since 9 years back, and now it feels tedious to even start their blizzard launcher since their games feels sad and boring. Expand

    One of the worst remastered blizzard has to offer. The company we know that created starcraft Warcraft wow diable 2 is gone since Activision got involved. So freaking sad that their games get worse and worse. Unbelievable

    Somehow worse than a game that came out almost 20 years ago. All it needed was a widescreen patch and a hotkey editor. Instead, years (and presumably hundreds of thousands of dollars) were spent to break multiple features and make the game uglier. Next time, just go for the lazy cash grab, since that's apparently all Blizzard can manage anymore.

    Terrible effort from Blizzard Activision. A whole lot of features they promised ended up being cancelled. Game performance is terrible.

    Positives: Absolutely nothing. This was terrible remake/reforge/upgrade Negatives: SINGLE player games require an INTERNET connection Art was outsourced to an Asian company. Not always bad but they don't know Warcraft art style like Blizzard
    Terrible effort from Blizzard Activision. A whole lot of features they promised ended up being cancelled. Game performance is terrible.

    Positives:
    Absolutely nothing. This was terrible remake/reforge/upgrade

    Negatives:
    SINGLE player games require an INTERNET connection

    Art was outsourced to an Asian company. Not always bad but they don't know Warcraft art style like Blizzard does and shows the level of effort Blizzard put forth in this remake.

    Chrome browser scripts running from menu?

    Cinematics promised are not in game.

    Graphics updates/upgrades shown at blizzcon are missing in action. In-game cinematics shown at blizzcon also don't exist.

    Refund requests are hit or miss. Could potentially be a huge battle.
    AB supports human suppression in China

    In a nutshell, this game was a huge false advertisement and I honestly do not know how a multi-billion company could be okay with releasing this. Are there no game directors left at Blizzard with a spine?

This looks like they only want to get our money with those advertising of how amazing the game was supposed to be, I wonder how they dare to keep showing that trailer on their web page knowing that game would never look like that :(
    I'm so disappointed, this was one of my favorite games but now they only want to get our money selling us their improved graphics version of the game. This looks like a bad remastered version instead of the "Reforged" they promised.

Blizzards internal team structure and pompous attitude really ruined their games and future. This completely falls on Blizzard. There are so many smaller developers that make amazing games. The competition is too high now and Blizzard can't even keep up. Garbage studio. Expand

    Warcraft 3 was one of the protagonists of my childhood, and it really hurt me to see how my beloved game got butchered like this. I guess it hurt my more because I had very good expectations from blizzard.

    Custom games are unplayable, the menu is very bad, artwork is somewhat nice though. There are many bugs, many crashes and many disappointments. And the new legal terms and conditions they introduced with this game are really telling what Blizzard was trying to achieve with this game: JUST Money.

I pre-ordered the game as early as 2018 since I love the original Warcraft III, but this excuse of a 'game' that blizzard just released is simply beyond redemption. The UI interface is probably OK in mid 2000s, but it is just so bad in today's standard. There are multiple bugs which straight up pops up 'defeat' when a campaign mission is started. Playing online comes with huge lags around 400-500ms. The dialogs are plagued with random texts and atrocious Chinese translations. Kel'thuzad, the name of an in-game major character has his name translated to 克里苏加狗, which literally means Kel'thu-dog. The sentence: "This sword is cursed" is translated to something meaning "this sword is sexually violated by an elephant". Although funny, these obvious errors hints that blizzard probably uses some bots to do the work to cut budgets. I would like to know how other non-english translations work out. WTF blizzard, how can you even consider releasing this thing when this is obviously not a complete product.
    People may joke Blizzard works for China yada yada but no they piss and defecate on our faces just as much as they piss on yours. 这么渣的游戏,打你妈啊

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never even purchased the game and I literally feel violated. I still enjoy Warcraft 3 from time to time even to this day and have been playing since its first year of release. I launched my war3.exe like I normally do, saw an update and thought, sure no problem I'll wait. THIS WAS A BIG MISTAKE. I had no idea Reforged release was actually going to entirely compromise existing game directory. Not only this, but I kept war3 on a smaller spare SSD, the update didn't even check free space and proceeded to wedge the drive forcing a reinstall. This is not just an update, even if it works, the old game client is literally now deprecated. Another way to word this: selecting update changes your game entirely, you are auto opted-in to battle.net / Reforged. No, they couldn't just leave it alone and release a separate game rebuilt in a new and/or better engine. This is worse than a really bad 2nd to a great original movie.
    I will be reinstalling offline from original CDs and/or installers saved from 2015.

    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.
