    I dont normally post reviews for things but this game is just so bad I am compelled to. I played WC3 when it first came out and this game is definitely worse. How can you make a game worse after 18 years???

    For those who already bought the game, get your refund. WC3 Reforged is a **** show.

    Not only was the online feature with battle.net not working during the initial release, even the single player aspects and the cinematics fail to live up to the original release of the vanilla.

The cutscenes of the fights does not flow as they look like they were made by fans from an indie studio, which was very disappointing given how Blizzard was most known for making the best cinematics to capture the moment despite the other flaws in the gameplay. The models of female heroes looks like they have simply took the male hero portraits and recolored them instead of making new female models from scratch when you see female reforged models when playing online using the classic client. Furthermore online gameplay lags and stutters even with a RTX2080 GPU which is far above the recommended specs of the game. One positive note is they are continuing to accept refunds for the game through their support tickets but that does not contribute to increasing the score for the title in any way as that is not a gameplay issue but a customer service issue.… Expand

    Its a shame it ended up like this. I was really looking forward to it. Thankfully, I got my refund. When asked why I was refunding I ticked technical issues because "you **** lied to me" wasnt an option.

    Custom multiplayer games were some of the best parts of WC3. They really legally locked down the creative freedom and the ownership of that work which is unfortunate for custom creative multiplier games that could have made online more fun.    … Expand

И это при том, что у меня не было завышенных ожиданий от игры. Всего-то и нужно было, так это:

    - изменить кат-сцены на движке игры
    - внести больше небольших лорных изменений в кампанию по типу карт "Очищение Стратхольма" или пленение Сильваны.
    - завезти стабильность, давно ставшую визитной карточкой Близзард
    - оставить старую русскую озвучку либо позвать на нее актеров дубляжа из WoW
    - оставить олдам классику в ее первозданном виде с рейтингом и тд

    Первое они уже частично реализовывали, второе плевое дело, над третьим они все равно заморочились, но зажали WoW'овский дубляж. И о как же это было прекрасно, когда на ролик очищения Стратхольма с презентации 18 года я наложил звук из ролика WoW с озвучкой даже не В. Вихрова! и это была бомба.

    В сухом остатке я не понимаю, зачем эта игра нужна?! Для сетевой игры она нестабильна, лишина рейтинга. Для кампании лишина души благодаря озвучке, в остальном абсолютно та же, без особых изменений. Даже кастомки и те ограничиваются. Но теперь есть новые модельки, преимущественно красивые. Но я не разглядываю их все время, а старая графика меня не раздражала.

    В таких условиях у меня складывается впечатление, что отняли гораздо больше, чем дали. Это неравноценный обмен. Это не попытка уважить олдов, а желание привлечь новых игроков в старую игру.

    The more I play, the more I understand that this is a failure. And this despite the fact that I did not have high expectations from the game. All that was needed was:
     
    - change cut scenes on the game engine
    - make more changes to the campaign by the type of cards "Purification of Stratholme" or the capture of Sylvanas.
    - to bring stability, which has long become the hallmark of Blizzard
    - leave the old Russian voice acting or call on the actors of the dubbing from WoW
    - leave old classic in its original form with a rating, etc.

    They already partially implemented the first, the second trifling matter, they worked on the third, but without the actors of dubbing from WoW.

    In the bottom line, I do not understand why this game is needed ?! For a network game, it is unstable, lacking a rating. For the campaign, the soul’s loss is due to the voice acting, the rest is absolutely the same, without any changes. Even custom ones are limited. But now there are new models, mostly beautiful. But I do not look at them all the time, and the old graphics did not annoy me.

    In such conditions, I get the impression that they took away much more than they gave. This is an unequal exchange. This is not an attempt to respect the old, but a desire to attract new players to the old game.    … Expand

    In a vacuum, this game could be a solid 4-5 out of 10. But it does not exist in a vacuum. It was touted as an AAA replacement for a 10/10 game, and we were promised both a vast improvement over the classic game AND a full compatibility with it. Neither of these promises turned out to be true.

    It gets a 0 from me, a long time Blizzard and Warcraft fan who was very excited about Reforged and preordered it for myself and a few close friends the moment it was announced, for the following reasons:

    - Visually, it is a *downgrade* for a nearly 20 year old game. Original WC3 has an incredible quality to it, with a very consistent art style across the game. Reforged does not. It simply does not look like a Blizzard game at all, and it lacks the hallmarks of Blizzard's famous polish -- high detail, smooth animations, consistent art style. Instead, it looks like a generic, forgettable, low-budget project by a no-name studio, released around 2012-2014.
    None of the issues that became apparent in the beta were fixed in the last few months as we had hoped they would.

    - The new online play mode is a massive downgrade over the user experience we had since Reign of Chaos release. LAN functionality is removed (even from the "classic" client).

    - The promise of crossplay between the old and new clients were a lie. You don't get to play real WC3 anymore. Which makes me question what was the point of all the breaking changes to the classic client.

    - A massive number of old custom maps were broken in the name of making the classic client compatible with Reforged. Those maps are never coming back, especially because...

    - The new Custom Maps Terms of Service. I'll quote the full paragraph, so you can appreciate the full extent of neo-Blizzard's greed and audacity:

    Custom Games are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Blizzard. Without limiting the foregoing, you hereby assign to Blizzard all of your rights, title, and interest in and to all Custom Games, including but not limited to any copyrights in the content of any Custom Games. If for any reason you are prevented or restricted from assigning any rights in the Custom Games to Blizzard, you grant to Blizzard an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, unconditional, royalty free, irrevocable license enabling Blizzard to fully exploit the Custom Games (or any component thereof) for any purpose and in any manner whatsoever. You further agree that should Blizzard decide that it is necessary, you will execute any future assignments and/or related documents promptly upon receiving such a request from Blizzard in order to effectuate the intent of this paragraph. To the extent you are prohibited from transferring or assigning your moral rights to Blizzard by applicable laws, to the utmost extent legally permitted, you waive any moral rights or similar rights you may have in all such Custom Games, without any remuneration. Without limiting Blizzard’s rights or ownership in the Custom Games, Blizzard reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to remove Custom Games from its systems and/or require that a Custom Game developer cease any and/or all development and distribution of a Custom Game. Please note that your Blizzard account can be subject to disciplinary action in event that you do not comply with Blizzard’s request or this Policy.

    TLDR: Blizzard owns the rights to all your work. Why? Because f*** you, that's why.

    This is a "f*** you" to all the people who have kept Warcraft 3 alive for 15 years with their hard and largely unrewarded work, and it kills any chance of the custom map renaissance that we have all hoped to happen with Reforged.
    No one should be making custom games for Reforged, even if this policy gets reversed. Blizzard must be taught a hard lesson in public relations.

    Final verdict:

    Do not buy this game. If you already did, refund it. Sadly, I can't, and it bothers me deeply that I fell for the empty promises and personally enriched the people behind this product.

    If you want to play Warcraft 3, play the real Warcraft 3 -- the one that was made by real Blizzard. You can still buy Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos + The Frozen Throne CDs, download patch 1.26 and experience the game that made millions of people fall in love with Warcraft.    … Expand

The year is 2020 and I get to customize hotkeys in Notepad. Not only is it not a "reforged" version, but a strong downgrade compared to the original game. Refunded.

    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.
