    Broken promises and lots of shady corporation techniques. Instead of making a good remaster, they tried to revamp the whole thing however they ruined everything and forced players to play what they want, instead of giving us choice.

    I felt ashamed of buying this in pre-order and I think Blizzard should feel ashamed of what they did to their legacy.

    This game is a joke. Refund the game before the company vanished. It's better to play the original game.

    it’s like watching your grandmother get stabbed in the back, or putting a bunch of cute puppies in a blender.

    It’s **** horrible and not a surprise coming from ****

    There’s nothing blizzard about the title, it’s a sticker.

    They didn't do anything they promised.
    If it were to stay like this it would be better to have left the old version

    It used to be better, I was very disappointed in the new version. I don't like localization, I don't like recycled characters. The game wasn’t improved in any way, just wrapped in a beautiful wrapper

    They have totally broken this game. Graphics are now worst than the original. They remove some options, no more ladder, or mods. And worst of all, you can't even play the original...
    Most epic fail of all time, they make you pay for a downgrade, and make the original game pure ****
    It's a crime considering that the original game should have a 10 notation

While they are all serious and valid concerns, I'd like to share some of the things that were added/modified with WC III: Reforged.

    Most cut-scenes have indeed been modified, often featuring additional units, rearrangements of the terrain and camera alignments.
    These changes are mostly beneficial in highlighting the reworked buildings, character models and their animations.
    Unfortunately, not every cut-scene has received the same level of attention and polish, resulting in a loss of background action, coherency and some cute little extras along the way.

    The cinematics from the original game have now been re-rendered in high resolution. With the intro, "The Prophecy" being completely reworked.
    Despite being 18 years old, the cinematics now look just as stunning as I remember them from the early blizzard days.

    On a rather sad note, they decided to create a entirely new cinematic for the final fight of Arthas vs. Illidan.
    This fight, previously being one of the most gorgeous cutscenes of the entire game, has now turned into what looks like a badly animated 3D kids show.

    An incredible amount of effort went into recreating every single graphical asset for the game, and let's be real: in a vacuum, they look amazing.
    Especially the known heroes from the Warcraft Universe have received much attention in their redesign.
    Playing the game however shows that the models weren't engineered to be playable at all, and as a result, the battles in-game feel like a mess rather than an epic war.
    It's a shame that these new models completely lack the charm of the original installment, as is mostly evident in each characters avatar frame.

    It feels as if all of the changes that come with WC3: Reforged have sucked out the life from the original title, which ironically further plays into the accusations that "Blizzard has killed Warcraft III".
    Experiencing the campaign with the reworked graphics has generally left a good impression on me, although most of it comes from the solid foundation it is built on.

    Without many signs of competent art direction, developers and polish from Blizzard's side that we have come to expect from this company, the added features of this game are simply not worth the demanded price.
    Factoring in all the ways that this release has screwed over veteran WC3 fans, I give this game a solid 2 / 10.    … Expand

    0 points for messing with the oryginal game. This action is a dangerous precedent by which we do not own a product purchased years ago.

    This is by far the laziest and ugliest remake I’ve ever seen. The original was a great game. It could compete with the best. But this is nothing like the original. So many promises were broken. In the early 2000’s it was completely understandable for characters to be the size of buildings and trees. It was completely fine the way they moved and talked. The cutscenes were ok too.

In the early 2000’s it was completely understandable for characters to be the size of buildings and trees. It was completely fine the way they moved and talked. The cutscenes were ok too. But nowadays I’d expect at least decent cutscenes, I’d expect more details to be right like the animations of characters and the size of them compared to their environment. Even the colours and textures should be like in a modern Blizzard game. It could have been a so much more immersive experience. And Then there’s the fact dat the original game is practically unplayable since this release. Many functions of Reforged don’t even work. I am really disappointed with this game and with Blizzard and Activision. It really hurts me to see what has become of Blizzard. I played their games with much love because of their amazing atmosphere and eye for detail. But not this turd. Blizzard has been falling apart for years, but this is a new all time low.

    I have never bought Reforged. What I have bought is the original Warcraft to play with my buddy online about a year ago cause the only option was to get both the original and this one. Little did I know that I'll actually lose the original one upon Reforged release.
    The game itself probably deserves more than a zero, so I'll change my vote once I get the original Warcraft 3 back.

    A great disappointment!

    Warcraft III reforged was advertised, to be a great remaster with upgrades in many areas but was just a poor execution game that cost over 30$

    The only good thing is that Blizzard decided to refund those who want to return the product.

    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.
