    This is, most likely, the most disappointing release i have ever seen.

    Warcraft 3 : Reforged promised a lot of things but ultimately failed to deliver. The list of undelivered promises is so long one has to wonder if this is even real.
    No new UI and no option to change it, no new cutscenes, the remade voices and portraits are emotionless, lots of things such as clans and cross-realm play are now cut along with MANY other stuff. Not to mention countless game breaking bugs.

    It has been reported that Blizzard paid some asian company to create these new models, which leaves me with a single question - what exactly has Blizzard been working on these past years? And honestly, when i saw this new graphic i instantly thought of a low-rent cash grab mobile game.
    They are also seem to be merging classic Warcraft 3 with this new abomination resulting in a forceful "upgrade".

    Combine all of the mentioned above with their new set of rules such as content creators having zero ownership over their projects and you get a butchered modding community and player trust.
    Imagine if such restrictions existed 15-20 years ago. We wouldn't get a Counter Strike or a DOTA.

    And as if all this wasn't enough the majority of people seem to be unable to refund the game as Blizzard refuse to do so. They are also banning people who provide a way for others to refund the game.

    This is just beyond absurd.    … Expand

    Я ожидал большего от этой игры, но, видимо, Близзарду вообще насрать на своих старых фанатов. Хотя, что я жалуюсь один игрок уйдет, придет новый.

    I was really looking forward to this game. But it has almost none of the promised features.

    The graphics feel worse than the original, they lack heart and clarity. There is no working ladder, multiple other battle net features are non existent.

    ok
    I have requested a refund because I am so disappointed.

    Not happy returning to the game after the original

    - No new UI
    - No new cutscenes (just the old ones rescaled)
    - Lots of old features missing

The game is horribly unstable and calling this anything other than half-arsed is being dishonest. To add insult to injury there isn't much point in reinstalling my copy of the original version as Blizzard has decided to break most of the features in that, presumably to stop people 'upgrading' to the old version.
    If you want to see a classic game getting an amazing refresh then go and download Black Mesa which is a fan built remake of Halflife; it is rock solid, actually improves on the original and looks great so is basically the exact opposite of Warcraft 3: Reforged.

    What a disappointment. Warcraft 3 was one of my top 3 Games off all time but you didnt deliver on your promises. Like - Story adjustments for Lorecharacters - Rerendert Cinematics - Modernising of the ingame presentations/dialogs - getting Battlenet features - and more and more But the worst is that you even killed the old Warcraft 3 !! I cant get back    Oh Blizzard :(

    Horrível, não tem praticamente nada do que mostraram na Blizzcon. A luta entre Illidan e Arthas foi um completo fiasco, parece que fizeram com action figures em stop motion, as cutscenes são todas antigas, nem se deram o trabalho de fazer novamente num padrão "WOW". Me sinto completamente enganado pois fizeram propaganda de um jogo que simplesmente não existe!

    I made an account to review this game. I have never, ever been more disappointed or disgusted with a game’s release. That’s including the garbage Star Wars: Battlefront 2 from EA. “Blizzard” has now proven themselves to be a disgusting, wholly anti-consumer, and investor-focused company. “Blizzard” is no longer Blizzard.

    I completely suggest you avoid any and every “Blizzard” title that    I made an account to review this game. I have never, ever been more disappointed or disgusted with a game’s release. That’s including the garbage Star Wars: Battlefront 2 from EA. “Blizzard” has now proven themselves to be a disgusting, wholly anti-consumer, and investor-focused company. “Blizzard” is no longer Blizzard.

    I completely suggest you avoid any and every “Blizzard” title that releases from here on out.

    I am a longtime and massive fan of Warcraft 3 who was playing the older version consistently since it was released. I ADORE the game. It’s my favorite childhood game, and my family loves facing one-another.

    “Blizzard” did nothing good to this game, and I mean nothing. The only good thing about Reforged is the character models, and “Blizzard” did NOT make the character models. They had another company do it. I am utterly baffled at this, considering there was delays, and yet there is absolutely nothing they themselves added to the games. In fact, they made it actively worse! More bugs and the inability to play the original without these bugs.

    That’s not even the worst part, here are the reasons you should ditch this game and all other “Blizzard” games:
    1. They are so bitter over not making money off of dota 2 that they restricted some of the custom games you can play, along with now claiming complete copyright ownership of anything you make in game. That’s right, if you make a popular custom game and refine it for years, they can just take it, use it, not credit you, and not compensate you. Not only that, but if you use that material, even if it uses other assets, they can sue you for COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OF YOUR OWN GAME MODE. Just disgusting.

    2. The vast majority of promises for the game are missing. No new cutscenes. No new UI. In fact, much of the marketing is just blatant lies. There is nothing here.

    3. They actively took out features! That’s right folks, no ranked ladders. Not only did they outsource the only work that was done, but they stripped features out.

    4. Despite all the promises broken, and trash game, they REFUSE REFUNDS. You read that right. They refuse to refund you if you even opened the game for five minutes to see if it was what they promised. They punish you for checking if they told the truth. You thought that was all? Nope. They are actively banning members helping with refunds on “Blizzard” forums.    … Expand

    I was right to not get my hype on for this game. Activision Blizzard lied in the past and were also lying for Warcraft III Reforged. Game itself is very buggy, lacks promised content and they are making very hard to refund it. It is apparent that they reworked it because of greed and not out of love for the franchise and fans. Not worth a single cent. Would rather play original Warcraft III.

    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.
