    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game doesn’t even come close to what they promised on blizzcon 2018, they promised almost a new game, with tons of added cinematics and fully upgraded graphics but actually it’s just a bunch revamped character models, I barely see any difference between old 2002 and the new reforged terrain, new models become awkward sitting on top of the old 2002 graphics, it feels like just a half-done… Expand

    We asked for Warcraft 4. It's as close as we'll get to Warcraft 4: Warcraft 0.4.

    Es un juego que está a medio hacer, le falta contenido y detalles de mucho peso que han dejado se pulir. Tiene bugs notables, en especial una inestabilidad que tiende a afectar la carga de fases y mapas. Horroroso. Que decir que su optimizacion no es envidiable

    This is probably the worst game ever made, since it destroys one of the best games ever made.

    They deleted a classic and replaced with this buggy garbage. They spent more time reforging the user agreement than reforging the game. Absolutely abysmal!

    The question is once again. HOW can you f**k this up? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE. As a company that size and with that experience. I have to admit that since activision took over that beautiful entertainment brewery everything began to fall downhill into oblivion.

    The original Warcraft 3 is what got me into Blizzard games. I played WoW for over 10 years and that is because Warcraft 3 sucked me in.

    This asset flip of a "remake" feels like a slap in the face. I got an hour in before I decided to bite the bullet and refund it.

    Warcraft III: Reforged is at its most a visual upgrade to the old classic RTS game.
    I liked the little touches like the loading bar saying things like "Purging" "spreading the scourge", etc.
    I also liked the redesign of some areas like the Silvermoon City and the Sunwell, Stratholme, etc. But even with all that. This game is not what was advertised (and is still being advertised as of    Warcraft III: Reforged is at its most a visual upgrade to the old classic RTS game.

    But even with all that. This game is not what was advertised (and is still being advertised as of this day on the playwarcraft3.com page) On the page it still says "4 hours of reforged cinematics" showing an example of those cinematics with "The Culling" intro one. With character interactions that really spiced up the story and made it a fresh turn on an 17 year old game.
    Sadly enough, the game does not fulfill neither what it promised nor what it should have delivered as a remake of one of the greatest classics.
    The game is buggy, the UI images sometimes clip when selecting another unit, the models my glitch, "Singleplayer" made games are in reality hosted and therefore have a great lag even if you're alone playing them.
    Some cinematic have new camera angles, but that's all, no special movements/actions made for the cinematics like what is advertised with "The Culling" cinematic. Sometimes characters won't even move their mouth when talking.
    What to say about the menu screen, it has been shown to be running on Chromium, eating up almost all your RAM, wonder why a company of Blizzard's level would use an open software instead of building the menu on the game itself.
    I really think Blizzard outdid themselves this time in terms of literally not giving a f*ck about their own standards, their own community and players. Or as they see us now, their clients.
    If they just leave this huge problem as it is, then I'm sure they'll never receive support from us ever again. When they announce a Warcraft IV, if they ever do, no one will hype, after the fiasco that Reforged was.
    They are also doing something alike on WoW, but I only know about that in terms of lore, as I don't play WoW anymore, but if they keep going on this path, they will soon just become another of those "big AAA game-making companies that literally make cashgrabs that are absolute garbage and do not meet even todays lowest standards for any given game".
    Too sad to see that a remake of a game that could have sparkled so much was just thrown to the trashcan just because Blizzard won't care about the quality of their products until they start to just see their income fall.

    To end this review, I'll put a list of things that are good, and a list of things that are bad about Warcraft III: Reforged.

    Good things:
    Some models are really interesting and well designed.
    Two to three maps have been given a new layout that gives them a fresh look.

    Bad Things:
    Client really buggy-
    Game really laggy sometimes.
    The "4 Hours of Reforged in-game cinematics" are a perfect example of the truest false advertising.
    Addition of "Lore important characters" like Anaesterian just ofr the sake of catering to the "lore-
    hard" fans. Yet without any lines for them to interact with the known characters.
    Models glitch.
    Ui glitches.
    The "Reforged Cinematics" glitch.
    The game won't let you play singeplayer games without making a localhost, meaning if your
    internet disconnects, you'll be disconnected from that game. This even happens on the
    Campaign.
    No possibility to play custom campaigns, at least for the time being.

    From what I've seen on interviews from Blizzcon 2018 and 2019. I really think the team that was working directly on the game had a passion for it. But because of Blizzard's greediness they were pressed to deliver the game in whatever state on the Announced date of release, while also having a really low budget for Blizzard's standards.

    I really hope Blizzard sees the gigantic mistake they made with Reforged and redeem themselves not by apologizing or saying "we no understand it was a mistake" but by acting, update the game, polish it to the point where it resembles what was advertised, and then we'll start trusting you again. But until then, I'm not going to buy any other Blizzard game. As they've showed that they do not care for Quality.    … Expand

    First time ever bothered to write down a score for a video-game, this game went to far on broken promises, could not wait to play it again with new cut scenes and remade cinematic, plus they removed the best stuff what made Warcraft 3 and the Frozen Throne as a great game. Keep the money Activision-Blizzard if that is the most you care, but this review will stay here forever.

    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.
