    Made an account just to talk about how bad the game is in its current state. It's incredible unfinished, buggy, and does not have a considerable number of features that the original game had. A disappointment.

    Broken promises and a broken game, that is what Activision Blizzard is trying to sell you.

    This game not only takes a step backward when it was supposed to be a 'remaster,' it also forcefully replaces the original Warcraft III by merging the two together, tarnishing the original game with this incredibly buggy, unfinished, falsely advertise mess of a game. Warcraft III: Reforged is

    Warcraft III: Reforged is proof that the Blizzard that was once revered as one of the best, most passionate video game developers is no longer. Now, we're left with a company who's only goal is to milk out as much money with as little effort as possible. This company has lost it's charm, it's goal, it's fanbase, and the respect of gamers everywhere.

    The game is not even trying, because if you don't like it, you CAN NOT get a refund.

    tl;dr don't buy this game, do not support Blizzard.

    If I was to describe this game in just a few words, it would simply be: Cash Grab.

    If I was to describe this game in just a few words, it would simply be: Cash Grab.

    Despite promising a complete overhaul of the classic RTS game, Warcraft 3, Blizzard decided that cutting costs to maximise profits was more important than pouring love into one of their beloved franchises that put them on the map in the first place. As someone who grew up with Blizzard games, it is so gut wrenching to see what this once beloved company has turned in to.

    They tried to build hype by showing a whole new version of the infamous Arthas/Stratholme cut-scene in their trailer, only for that same cut-scene to be nowhere to be found in-game. None of the other cut-scenes were changed either, aside from the Arthas vs Illidan scene. The new UI they showcased is also not present, along with other changes that were promised, such as retconning the story slightly to be in more line with WoW's lore.

    Also plenty of bugs, because Activision Blizzard, a billion dollar corporation, is too cheap to spend any of the absurd amount of money they have to actually test their game properly.

    The biggest insult though, is that they ruined the original Warcraft 3 with this game, taking away features from the original, and shafting those who simply wanted to play the classic version of Warcraft 3.

    How can you care so little about your legacy, Blizzard? I get it, Daddy Activision and your shareholders are hungry and need to see more profits, but maybe.... just maybe, you could also earn profit (and respect) by actually making a good game! I know, shocking concept, right? Sure, you probably did make a killing from convincing us old fans of yours to purchase the game with your shady false advertising, but you have also made sure that many consumers like myself will not be spending another penny on your company. That is, until you can put aside your corporate greed and actually put time and effort into your future titles. I'm not even remotely excited for Diablo 4 at this point, especially if this is how you treat your legacy titles. No doubt that'll just be a cash grab too, right?

    Enjoy your abysmal score on Metacritic, Blizzard. This is one achievement you have truly earned.

    I've been waiting for months for this to drop, simply because ever since they patched classic, heroes lose the ability to carry items in campaign mode. Now there's about 50 other problems to go along with it, because they MERGED my almost 20 year old game with this TRASH. Now I have to wait even LONGER for them to fix this. This is NOT the Blizzard I grew up with.

    Terrible optimisation, they removed A LOT of features they promised back in 2018 and there are endless bugs. I never thought a game could get worse than Fallout 76 but here we are.

    This remaster of a masterpiece from nearly 20 years ago was a quick and easy way for Activision Blizzard to grab as much money possible from the WoW fanboys and ditch the true Warcraft 3 fans.

    Oh boy, where should I start... Warcraft 3: Reforged is nothing more then pure cashgrab reskin. Most of the features to improve the game was scrapped. There is so much bugs. They also ruined the original game by forcing player base to merge with Reforge. Shame on you Blizzard, you should copy your homework from Microsoft. They did remake of AoE 2 as a perfect sample of remaking.

They did remake of AoE 2 as a perfect sample of remaking.
    Also instead of trying to fix the game, make some statement about it and release ROAD MAP about fixing the game, Blizzard just ban people who are talking about refund...

    There is my Pro/Cons list:
    Pros
    - Models are kinda good (could be way better)
    - Hosting custom games on Blizz servers (it's also disadvantage, because they left this as only option), which can prevent some problems with port allowing etc.
    - Story is untouoched (I'm really not fan of WOW story line)
    Really don't know what more should I add here to be honest...

    Cons
    - Old GUI
    - No engine improvement (crappy FPS, worse then old game back in the days)
    - Locked hosting only to their servers
    - Ranks and profiles missing
    - Wierd feels of new menu (looks more like mobile game, not very smooth and intuitive)
    - Terrible animation due tu old 30Hz lock (really doesn't look good with the new models)
    - No remastered cutscenes as advertisement
    - No remastered Cinematic
    - Forced merge of classic and reforged (really should be two splitted comunities)
    - Still old game limitation such as unit locks etc. (due to merge of comunities to make balanced versus mode)
    - Buggy af (sometimes unplayable)
    - Radio silence instead of making statement about the future of the game
    - Banning reasonable angry fanbase
    - Making every custom game yours (Thats pretty much killing the moding comunity.. Ofc there will be generic TD etc., but nobody with really great idea is going to make it in WC3, because Blizzard will steal the idea and present it as own)

    So my verdict for now is 1/10. You just managed to to produce reskined cashgrab game and kill old good WC3 just in a single blow. I'm willing to change my review as soon as Blizzard your promises and fix the game.

    PS: BLIZZARD please! Make some statement, road map how to fix and save WC3 instead of banning angry fanbase. We have all rights to be angrry at you for what you did to our lovely game....
    PS2: Sorry for my english, I'm so angry right now and also not native speaker.

    They even managed to screw up the single player campaign! They changed dialogue (pasted "Hellscream" over "Grom", got rid of unit dialogue such as the Dryad's "I'm so wasted", etc), the UI doesn't feel at all updated, the ground texture is awful (no detail or depth), etc.

    I play only one map: Legion TD. I'm busy now, hardly any time for games let alone learn new ones, but this is a great 30-60 min burner when I have free time and want to chill out. IDGAF at all about "Reforged", knew it would be garbage since Blizzard has been complete garbage since and including SC2. But I'll always revisit their classics.

    First, update patch is completely broken. Doesn't even work (freezes at 65%, no "repair" option, undo option, etc). Then when I dig in, I find out I have to download all of Reforged? 24 gigs of wasted **** space when all I wanted was to just keep playing my classic game like I did with SC1.

    Way to go Blizzard. I don't have time to dl 24 gigs or the headache if the patcher is still broken. Probably never going to touch Legion TD again. Oh well, another one of now ~50 moves by the gaming industry that makes me no longer a gamer.

И то что обещали разработчики почти не присутствует в игре. И близзард оправдывает это тем что фанаты сами не хотели ничего менять вот они и отказались от обещанных изменений, но на самом деле очевидно что близзард просто не успели ничего сделать потому что кое что они все таки переделали из того что было обещано. Например как миссия очищение Стратхольма и Кель'талас и они даже снизошли на то что бы переснять один синиматик и самое смешное что он стал выглядеть еще хуже чем в 2002 году, а когда близзард снимали такие синиматики что они выглядели даже лучше большинство фильмом в наше время. Все выше перечисленное это следствия вытекающие из одной большой проблемы игровой индустрии. В близзард почти не осталось в руководстве настоящих разработчиков только бизнесмены, а бизнесмен думает только об одном как потратить по меньше но при этом заработать по больше. Expand

    An absolutely horrendous remaster. They're just milking the brand of the legendary Warcraft series.

    I would say , alright you screwed up with the bugs and so, but your pathetic Customer Services reaction to ban people, oh boy... You've just started a war against the Gaming Nation. Get ready!

    It actually ruined the classic version of the game , and it's not even playable , everything is laggy and broken , and most of features from classic are removed. I actually hope they fix it

    Плохо, очень плохо. Это совсем не то, что нам обещали и даже не то, что можно считать минимально допустимым. Маленькая инди-компания близзард опять насрала нам в уши и обосралась

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm so so so disappointed. I'm never gonna give that company my money again.
    Look at other companies like Microsoft and how they value their IPs like Age of Empires.

    Shame on you Blizzard!

    A massive disappointment. Laggy from the mains creen and looks often very goofy and sometimes arguably worse then the original. As someone who was looking foward to this release am very sad.

    original.
    I previously wrote a review but Meta-critic timed out. It had a bullet points styled outline of all the ways that this experience has been downgraded from: -Size (2GB --> 25GB) -Optimization(used to run on older computers....now ha ha) -Content changes(removal)

    And that Blizzard was disingenuous about the game they were releasing.

    It is not perfect, but it is still very decent. I have played 4 campaigns on hard with no bugs. New graphic is awesome. Yes, it would be very nice to have those new cinematics and dynamic cutscenes, but the current ones are pretty decent aswell. Problem is with multiplayer, because there are not any ranked modes now, but that will be added in future patches i believe. So for now 7/10 andIt is not perfect, but it is still very decent.

After this I find it hard to look forward to the other sequels announced at Blizzcon 2019. Expand

    Hardcore classic fan here. I came back two years ago after a 10 year break. Fell in love again.

    Sadly, this release, having dragged the classic version into the regorged ecosystem, has ruined the game entirely for me. The Blizzard brand was already on edge of no forgiveness for me personally. For me personally, the only way I see back is to reinstate the classic and create a classic bnet server for the Australasia region. That's something I would actually pay good money for. Blizzard, for once listen to the fans instead of the shareholders.

    Reforged is a shameful joke Blizzard tried to disguises as something great. Bugs, glitches, undelivered promises, false advertisement, lack of shaders and light effects, slimy new policies from the world editor and a graphical downgrade if you wished to maintain the original appearance of Warcraft 3.

    This game is an all-round disappointment, that did not deliver on any expectations and borders on the scam with its completely misleading marketing.

    Dear lord, what a sad little game, Blizzard. You ruined a 17 year old game completely so you could have the money and I hope now you can spend it on getting proper developers and doing some market research. Because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on. So Blizzard return my money and get out of the market. You’re done. RIP Blizzard

    Everything is bad about this "game", if it even can be called like that. For what you did to Warcraft III, you get what you deserve.

    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.
