    Making a cheap cashgrab with uglier graphics is one thing (i don't really blame blizzard for the graphics, they forgot how to code and therefore don't know how to write an engine anymore).
    However dDowngrading and removing features on the original game is another. Blizzard really outdid themselves on this one.

    По факту в игре нету даже того, что было в 2002 году. Можно, конечно, оправдываться что отдел разработки/саппорта/перерисовки классических игр маленький и не успевает, но сроки компания ставила себе сама. Да и ценник у игры(Покупал расширенную версию) вполне себе как у полноценной новой.

    То что есть на сейчас тянет на уровень ранней беты.
    Чего на самом деле ожидали:
    -Перерисованных роликов(Сначала говрили что это будет, потом что не будет, потом что будет частично)
    -Качественного бнет с внутриигровыми турнирами, кланами, каналами
    -Оптимизацию ФПС(Даже на хороших карточках есть пролаги в моменты построения )
    -От себя лично еще ожидал может каких-то расширенных кампаний, которые не вносили бы изменения в лор(Может про мурлоков рандомных или какие то карты по примеру кампании за рексара). Благо таких карт-кампаний нарисовали за 18 лет существования вк3 уже овер 100500.

    Было бы все это - была бы оценка 10/10, не смотря на мелкие нюансы типо непривычной озвучки(старую версию которой, кстати, также обещали сделать доступной ) неестественной травы, путаницы из юнитов и прочего.

    0/10 считаю справедливой оценкой так как предзаказав игру почти за полтора года до ее выхода в итоге я не получил даже функционала 18(!) летней давности. Это не игра, это бета.    … Expand

    Just greed. $30 for this mess.

    It is missing quite a few features that were promised in (still running) adverts and promo material.

    Complete disrespect for the players. Disgusting quality of the game, deception: advertising, videos, interviews. All these years just lied. In Russia, the voice acting was ruined altogether, there was a completely finished good voice acting, they made a new horrible and disgusting one. Complete disrespect for the fans, they still do not want to return the money at the time of January 29, 2020.

    This game is a scam, there are people enjoing it for nostalgia reasons, but really this game feels like a cheap mod with models copied from another game.

    Graphics are rubbish. Compared to classic it's harder to distinguish units and the unique colours that gave classic it's feel are gone.

    I played about 10 games and switched it back to classic mode

    Terrible disappointment !!!
    From what was promised, it isn't even close, only a remake to unit models..
    Waiting so long for a 'reforged' only to be disappointed, now blizzard can go back to dealing with their damn Overwatch..
    To hell with blizzard !!

    I got this game as a gift from my good friend... i gave him one too. i think this is the most shameful gift i have ever given to someone. We were both happy to play some multiplayer together but we were also looking forward for new cutscene, as they presented them in 2018, updated campaign maps, better UI and much more. This? This isn't Reforged, this is slight reskin, buggy reskin.

This isn't Reforged, this is slight reskin, buggy reskin.

    The game looks clunky, the camera is stiff as it was in the original game, which would be OK if the year was 2002, no change in dynamics of the camera or angle(at least something when you cant deliver remade cutscenes). Even the cinematics don't seem much as upgrade. i loved the original, but this is f in disgrace to this title.

    I didn't buy Warcraft III: Reskin. This is false advertisement and disgusting cashgrab. If this reskin would be sold for 10 €(if i am really generous) i would be quiet, but damn 30 € or even 40 dollars is a joke. Don't buy, wait for the price drop to 10 €. If you bought this, claim refund. Blizzard made so many fups over the past years, i still had hope but it's dead now, it's just an empty shell used for marketing by Activision and Bobby ****    … Expand

    Wrote a big review, but Metacritic failed to submit it and lost all of my text in the process. So I'll be short this time.

    Cons: 1. New graphics are less aesthetically pleasing, less consistent, and at times just flat out ugly. 2. Expect performance issues. 3. Dialogue has been changed, and it's strictly worse 4. Features are missing. 5. Menus are laggy and unintuitive. 6. Nothing    Wrote a big review, but Metacritic failed to submit it and lost all of my text in the process. So I'll be short this time.

    6. Nothing is done to prepare newbies better for online play.
    7. Uses single CPU core

    Pros:
    1. Old graphics are still there.
    2. The re-release will hopefully introduce many younger players to the game.

    I get it, times change and so should Blizzard... but you should still respect the people and games who made Blizzard what it is today. And this game is a slap in the face. It reminds me of Jay Wilson's twitter comment on David Brevik: **** that loser". The overall attitude here is the same. Played the prologue missions and couldn't stand it any more.

    If it was some other game that didn't have anything to do with Warcraft or Blizzard, I'd probably score it 7/10, and I'd probably finish the campaigns (assuming they're as good as WC3's). But as it currently stays, the only reasonable score I can give is a big, fat ZERO.    … Expand

    Unfinished product. Lacks key features that were available on classic.
    Bad fonts/menus/animations/colors. You can't play the original RoC and TFT games no more.

    This is not reforged. Opposition suits better. Additional thank you for cutscenes. Arthas vs Illidan was the most ridiculous thing I have seen.

    I pre-ordered the game back in November. I waited for it from 2018 and, moreover, the release date was postponed to January. And now they have released a completely different game with bugs, which is fundamentally different from the version on Blizzcon. I'm very upset.

    Garbage. Utter garbage. Please blizzard go back to making good games. Everything now feels like it's being pumped out on a production line. The reason people loved your games and your business got so big was because the quality of games you released were so high. You're killing your own reputation with the gamers that helped make your company a success

    This game is so bad I created a metacritic account only to write this review.
    The graphics are miserable, being really awkward to play the game. You should have used the Dota 2's models! Currently, apart from characters, the graphics looks like they used the same old models on a higher resolution. Probably some internal was playing with these models and some manager saw it and said: "Oh!    This game is so bad I created a metacritic account only to write this review.

Probably some internal was playing with these models and some manager saw it and said: "Oh! Let your side project be Warcraft 3: Reforged". Also, they are using the old cinematics...
    So let's think a little bit: how much did they invest in this remastered version? The graphics are crap, the old cinematics were used and it has a lot of bugs (as it was mentioned by the other users). More, it seems that you need a very good PC to play this game as it has a lot FPS drops... There are games with far better graphics that are providing more FPS and are also far more stable.

    It looks like Blizzard only wants our money, refusing to listen to our requests, our feedback and providing a miserable remaster of a big game.    … Expand

    Alpha release, shame on blizzard and activision for releasing a completely broken game. How can you mess up this badly? It's a remaster with less features, worse graphics. Total carcrash of a game. Shame on blizzard for killing one of the best games of all time

    It’s just some kind of shame ... Making us wait 14 months and finally give the schedule for the 2005 level - for which we should pay the full price, especially to those who bought the original. Graphically, the game remained unchanged, just added support for modern permissions.

    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.
