    This game is a quick cash grab. Do not buy. Warning not finished, the visual updates are only 30hz. Not even finished with over 1 billion leaks of bugs don't even try to debug this mess.

    Complete disappointment, not a game. I don’t even see the point of describing the problems of the game, before me everything has already been done. I just hope that the Blizzards will go broke in the next 10 years, because looking at it hurts. I hope you choke on this money, Bobby.    … Expand

    Stupid remaster that broke a lot and fixed nothing. Models are ok, but unfinished and the worst part is I can no longer go back to the original game. Warcraft III is by far my favourite game.

    Worse than original, too many bugs to be able to play the game properly and they ruined the ability to play the old game again.

    Out already and it breaks even the original game. Not only that, the new Blizzard's Eula, prevents the use of the map creations, as they can officially steal your ideas. Thankfully they were too late to steal DOTA.

    my enitre gaming aspect of childhood was built around polish dubbing of warcraft 3, which was irreversibly removed with a new update. why did they touch classic wc3 and brake it? lag, bad fps, i cant even access campaign, it crashed me to menu. can't even refund a game i bought 12 years ago.

    I have been playing Warcraft 3 for literally 17 years, playing Warcraft games in general for almost as long as I can remember.

    There are no longer global custom game lobbies (e.g. if you’re playing on the European server, you can’t connect to a lobby hosted on the NA server). Custom game lobbies can and will crash for no discernible reason. The game is still riddled with desync issues which will drop one or more player(s) from a game with no warning. There are numerous errors with graphics and sounds (some portraits fail to update when swapping between units, discovered areas that are in fog of war are almost entirely blacked out, some sounds play more than once, etc.), as well as general failures with the game’s engine (the game will ignore lots of customizations for maps made with the world editor. Using a custom unit for a metamorphosis spell? You can have the illidan model. Using a custom effect for an immolation spell? You can have the default green cloud and nothing else. etc.). Also, load times in the game and in the world editor have increased drastically.

    A remaster was promised, and what we got was a new coat of paint and then someone running a bulldozer through the code while playing “spin the wheel” on what functionality would get carried over and what wouldn’t.

    Again, the game is still playable, but at what cost?    … Expand

    Loved the original and this game looks and feels like it was made a year after that one came out. So now i have what might as well be a duplicate game on my computer. I have never asked for a refund on a game but this will probably be the first. If this is what we can expect from a remake then I don't want them to touch Diablo 2.

    Hello. Just registered here for this review. This is was my first pre-order.
    What they did?
    1) Killed classic server, now i can't play on classic WC3 TFT BNET; 2) The game contents a lot of bugs; 3) Synchronization problems; 4) FPS drop; 5) Promise new in-game cutscenes and cinematics (lol, nothing at all); 6) Re-conncet in-game function? - Not here; It's can continue endlessly.

    that is what it is.

    Blizzard literally managed to downgrade a 17 years old game.

    Terrible remake (or whatever you wanna call this). Awful graphics, replaced sounds, sharpness too much but the rest isn't sharp so it doesn't match the whole picture and it overall looks worse than a game made in year 2002!!!!!!! What a disaster. I just made an account after all these years because this game is atrocious and deserves all the flame it's getting. Total cash grab!

    Warcraft Reforge... more like Warcraft: Refunded. Stay away from this game and don't give this awful company any money. They've gotten so lazy in the last couple of years to the point where they can't even make a proper remake of a game they made so many years ago. They had to do VERY little and they still **** up. I laughed so much when I watched some illidan vs arthas cutscene in Reforged - both of them look stiff, terrible sounds, graphics and just everything in this game is not good. The fact that they removed the old game makes this an even bigger cash grab.    … Expand

    I am having a great time!
    So far I am enjoying playing Warcraft 3: Reforged. But then I realized, it's for all the wrong reasons. I had heard that the whole "New stories and altered lore to fit in better with the current lore" had been scrapped, which I thought was a shame.

I had heard that the whole "New stories and altered lore to fit in better with the current lore" had been scrapped, which I thought was a shame. But it wasn't until I saw gameplay from the original Warcraft 3, that it hit me: I am enjoying Warcraft 3. The only difference is that it is HD. And the HD is a bit hit or miss - sometimes it looks really cool, and other times it looks stiff and generic. Seems like I paid 30$ for a fan HD rendition of the game.

    I like how the lips match the words the characters are saying. I really don't understand why the rest of the face is so stiff though. This is most apparent in the cutscenes, which are not the promised cinematic retelling of classic in-game cutscenes, but just the same cutscenes from Warcraft 3, but with the newer models. Happy Arthas at the beginning of the game basically has the exact same expression as angry Arthas later on in the game.

    TL;DR: I am enjoying the Warcraft 3 elements, but I am not quite sure exactly what I paid 30$ for, nor why it took so long to develop, even though the features that seemingly would've taken the most effort weren't implemented.    … 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.

    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.
