    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler Alert!; Blizzard dies at the end, along with my childhood. Yes that's right, you pay money to downgrade your old warcraft. The game isnt "bad" but I am so frustrated with blizzard I wanted to give it something lower than 0. So I chose 10 since it starts on the other end. If blizzard doesnt give a s*** about their game or fans, I wont give one about reviewing their broken product… Expand

    Игра не достойна таких заниженных оценок, что ставят пользователи. Игра стала жертвой плохой PR компании и фанато, которые вечно не довольны. Да, у игры есть небольшие проблемы, типа редких просадок фпс. но в основном ни с чем другим я не сталкивался. Приятная графика, правильная локализация.

    Over promised, overpriced, but under developed and under delivered.
    When every aspect of your game except the graphics is inferior to a version almost 20 years older, to say it's "extremely disappointing" is an understatement.

    Una pietra miliare, non c’è molto da dire. È vero le aspettative son state in parte tradite e gli errori di comunicazione si pagano, ma rimane certa l’eccellenza di un prodotto che ha fatto la storia.
    Si poteva/doveva fare di più viste le acque in cui naviga l’immagine di Blizzard? Assolutamente si.Il prodotto è da 0? No.

    I think it's unfair to call this game a travesty. It is still very much Warcraft 3 and it isn't necessarily a bad game.

    So far I've played through the prologue, the human and undead campaign. Apart from an instant defeat bug at the beginning I've yet to experience any bugs in the campaign. I think that I've also gone through all the actual 'reforged' missions: Stratholme, Dalaran and    I think it's unfair to call this game a travesty. It is still very much Warcraft 3 and it isn't necessarily a bad game.

    So far I've played through the prologue, the human and undead campaign. Apart from an instant defeat bug at the beginning I've yet to experience any bugs in the campaign. I think that I've also gone through all the actual 'reforged' missions: Stratholme, Dalaran and The Sunwell. These three were also my favourites, mainly because they were new and fresh.

    That feeling I had at those three missions is something that is missing during all the other missions. I've already played through those various times and if I wanted to, I could've gone through the same experience with a fancy modpack. There are plenty of mods that alter the game just as much as Warcraft 3 reforged does.

    It is a shame, really. I had such high hopes for the reforged aspect of this game. I didn't really need or want deep lore retcons (never said anything about this on official forums either), but I enjoyed the idea of minor changes and additions. I mean, why would someone complain about an extra mission that fleshed out Jaina/ Sylvanas a bit more.

    Maybe Blizzard will still add some things (hopefully), to undo the damage they've done so far. Blizzard has stated before that they decided not to alter anything based on the response of diehard fans, but this was 2 months before release. I am not sure whether or not they said this because they ran out of time and they decided that the diehards were easy scapegoats or that they legitimately thought it would be better to leave things as they were.

    As I've mentioned before, the game still feels like Warcraft 3 and that's why I've decided to keep the score at 60. I'm not going to give the game a 0 rating because I feel betrayed by Blizzard (nothing is worth a 0, just as nothing is worth a 10). I am still going to judge the game for what it is, the game. I've barely had any bugs and I've been playing Warcraft 3 again after quite some time. It's not what we expected and Blizzard certainly didn't keep their promises, but the game is 'ok'. This 'ok' is leaning more towards a mediocre, but I still manage to enjoy it.

    Ignore most of the reviews on here, as most were made by angry fans (which is actually understandable) who feel betrayed. Form your own opinion and let's just hope that Blizzard will not abandon this game and provide us with the necessary updates.    … Expand

    The graphics are great, they saved the original atmosphere. But that’s it. They promised a lot of things in Blizzcon, yet they didn’t do none of them.
    Still I like the visual part of this game. (Not Jaina and other characters)

    This is only deserving 0 and nothing else. You PAID for a REMASTER to TAKE AWAY your game. Yep, exactly - they removed parts of the game and made you pay for it and even if you didn't - it affects classic too. Its not just a scam as you know it from EA or Ubisoft, they actually TOOK YOUR GAME AWAY and even the most basic features from classic are gone - heck NOT EVEN THE CHAT IS WORKINGThis is only deserving 0 and nothing else.

Its not just a scam as you know it from EA or Ubisoft, they actually TOOK YOUR GAME AWAY and even the most basic features from classic are gone - heck NOT EVEN THE CHAT IS WORKING PROPERLY.

    I am a very long Warcraft 3 veteran and played this game since its original release back then, I've grown up with it and I feel like its part of me as I surely played this game the most in my life and had amazing memories and made friends that I even visited in real life. I played amazing vanilla games, superb custom games and just absolutely stunning custom campaigns where I replayed the Sunwell Plateu raid or ICC with all the iconic voice lines and everything. Mods kept this game alive for such a long time.

    However, its all gone now. To be honest I absolutely dont even know where to start this, a year ago they updated the classic game and its battle.net/multiplayer nicely only to remove it now and force everyone into their new battle.net that DOESN'T has the features anymore they officially ADDED a year ago in a REMASTER like cross region play which is very important and this type of behavior essentially happend with the entire game as many parts are gone and not working - they simply released an absolutely unfinished product and DOWNGRADED everyone. There are big lists of whats missing but for example not even leaderboards or anything as simple as that is working while custom maps mostly gets deleted now and custom campaigns aren't even there anymore which was this games soul and beauty on top of an massively awesome foundation. Sad.

    Even the Reforged graphics are worse because they are not finished - the animations are sometimes copy-pasted and not as diverse as in classic. Classic Warcraft 3 had shadows, to enable those now you have to buy Reforged which makes no sense, they are even using scam practices now to force you into it.

    As a long long fan this is tearing me apart and im very sad about all of this, I never gave up on the game and I always had fun and joyful moments for such a long long time. Farewell, Warcraft 3 and **** you Blizzard for even DOWNGRADING MY GAME OVER 10 YEARS LATER AFTER MY ORIGINAL PURCHASE. Oh, and thanks for baiting me to spend 30€ on a downgrade cause the updates you did to prepare Classic to Reforge got rolled back for no reason whatsoever.

    This was a complete and utter scam in the worst way possible up to date in gaming history, we had false promising and marketing before but never again has your game that you already owned even got massively DOWNGRADED in the process.    … Expand

    Whether they meet up with the expectations or not. The game is not that bad like most of the reviews tell us here. Ok, those nice cinematics etc.. are not in the game. But it's still a trip down the memory lane. It's nostalgia with better looking graphics. And that's what matters for me. I'm really enjoying the game now, just like i did when the original game came out 18 years ago.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. В результате того, что кампания не была разблокирована перед запуском для ознакомительных целей, я потратил часы, которые я могу, с Warcraft III: Reforged до запуска в многопользовательской бета-версии - что по всем учетным записям и практическому опыту одинаково как многопользовательские не бета - и часы после запуска на небольшом объеме кампании. Таким образом, это обзор в процессе (этот текст останется даже после завершения обзора), где я начну с разговора о мультиплеере. После завершения кампании я могу говорить о том, что работает, а что нет, особенно об изменениях, которые они внесли.

    К счастью, игра в мультиплеер позволяет понять, как все играет и выглядит. Даже с учетом обновленного характера игры, эта игра никогда не будет самой привлекательной, но Blizzard, безусловно, сделала не только несколько небольших быстрых обновлений. Над окружающей средой, моделями персонажей и анимацией было проделано немалое количество работы, и даже разрушение зданий было представлено в мельчайших деталях.

    Это делает игру в целом привлекательной, такой невероятно ностальгирующей для кого-то вроде меня, чье первое путешествие во вселенную Warcraft было с стратегическими играми. Вы можете распознать здания и юниты, которые вы использовали почти два десятилетия назад, с несколькими добавленными эффектами, тенями и деталями, особенно деталями атак и способностями специальных юнитов. Эта дополнительная деталь также поддерживается более четким пользовательским интерфейсом, хотя и не совсем обещанным.    … Expand

    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.
