    Its truly sad to see such a grand legacy being spat upon, but this game fails to meet the standards of the original, let alone surpass them. Blizzard, just stop making games, if you're not going to put the effort in to really make something special, then just stop.

    My score for this game is 0, allow me to give proper context as to why this scam of a "game" deserves so little in my eyes.

Changes that enhance the game and changes that make the experience worse decide the    My score for this game is 0, allow me to give proper context as to why this scam of a "game" deserves so little in my eyes.

    Let's start with the game's nature: a remaster. If it was a remaster that's just the base game with revamped graphic, it'd be between 5 and 7 (depending on the graphic quality). Changes that enhance the game and changes that make the experience worse decide the rest...and, oh boy, this game has taken a turn for the worse.

    Pros are few and minor (like the graphics).

    Cons:

    -The graphics while being a huge improvement on the original are still dated compared to graphics from games from 2020 and 2019. They look more like the graphic quality that Heroes of the Storm has, rather than Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls or more recent games like Walcen (that came out just a month later from a much smaller studio).

    -The UI, has not received enough attention and many people would've liked it to be more optimized insted of being clutteredconfusing.

    -The animations. Having a release for PC with 30 FPS animations is unacceptable, especially since the new graphic (while dated still) allows to see how choppy some of the animations look.

    -Bugs, the game is still riddled with many bugs and Blizzard itself had to issue a statement on the forums that the game will receive more polish in the upcoming months...this is incredibly unacceptable since this game (even more since it's a remaster of a game that is almost 20yo) should've been functional (maybe with just some minor bugs) at day 1. I guess, we can't expect this level of quality anymore from AAA companies with billions on their hands.

    -Re-Used Units, some of the units have just been copy-pasted with minor changes. An example would be the model for the Male Death Knight which is clearly Arthas's model.

    -Less functionsmodes than the original, the original game had a plethora of modes that allowed it to shine, especially in multiplayer. Many of those modes were created by a dedicated community of modders who created lots of fun modes and maps (with the more prominent being the one that spawned what would become DOTA 2, starting the MOBA genre).

    -Incredible Restrictions over created content, with the inability to use 3rd party IP inspired assets which makes creating maps, mods and modes very limited being usable only the assets approved by Blizzard or assets who are completely unique created by the modders.

    And now, the 4 Most Unforgivable Cons that this game has, because being them part of the TOS or the behaviour of the company towards the players make them part of the overall experience with the game and its possessions, which are:

    - The Lies, for weeks Blizzard still had on this game's website, videos depicting the cutscene for Blizzcon 2018, depicting the beginning of the mission "The Culling of Stratholme", that was done in a completely different way to the final released product. This goes well with the intentional (until proven otherwise) lack of clarity of Blizzard about how much the game was downgraded compared to what was presented and what came to be expected back from that Blizzcon, until several days from the game's launch which was the usual - I'm paraphrasing - "We thought of making the game like the Blizzcon, then we decided to make the game the closest possible experience to the original" which was done by downgrading the cutscenes and downgrading other features that were better even in the original.

    -Customer Support, for days Blizzard kept denying customers the right to refund their games, even though they were from countries were the laws allowed them to have said refunds without clarifying what was that made them unable to get the refund in the first place. There were examples of an Australian player who played the game for bit and whose refund application was turned down because he had played the game for an unspecified amount of hours without the assistant checking his refund, at any point, disclosing what was the minimum amount of hours to get the refund.
    At the same time, others that purchased the games but didn't even play it were also denied refunds. In the meantime, players that were explaining the refund procedures to others were banned for no reason. This trend kept going until there were rumors of lawyers being involved from which, all of a sudden, everybody was able to get a refund. What a coincidence!

    -The treatment of modders in the game's initial agreement. I've never seen a contract claiming that every content you -modder- create in it is not only intellectually and automatically Blizzard's property to lucrate on it as much as they want to but also MORALLY theirs, which means you don't even get to be mentioned as to original creator besides not getting any compensation...just WOW!

    -Last but not least, the fact that these downgrades were unilaterally carried also into the original game. Never seen a bad remaster also ruin the original game, like no more shadows.    … Expand

    I looked forward to this game introducing a massive new player base to WC3 multiplayer.

    I paid $60 for the deluxe package expecting the "re-imagined and high definition graphics" that it was advertised as, but it turned out to be (after the latest updates to the original game) identical apart from slightly higher DPI zoom. If it was $10-20 i think it would be more reasonable to be sold as a HD DLC but not as a $40-60 stand alone game.

    Actual trash. Why waste your time. I couldn't believe that they would really require you to download this instead of being able to enjoy the classic Warcraft 3. They had to release this and ruin what was an incredible experience back in the day. Just spitting on its now grave

    I personally expected that Blizzard would make a sharp processing of the graphon from 2002-2004, all the more so as we all loved Warcraft. But no, they completely crap with their resources, gave them for revision to Lemon Sky Studios in Malaysia, and they also did not give all the best. It is simply unforgivable.

If the Blizzard employees themselves did everything themselves, even if they would have spent a lot of time processing all this, and then it would be much more fun to recall along with the original game. Voices, even in Russian localization Warcraft Reforge sound lousy, like the original game in English. I don’t want talented developers to pursue only a thirst for profit, and think about the players, who already have more than millions around the world. Rest in peace, the former Blizzard, you were perfect, but you are the current freak, what else to look for.… Expand

    I installed War3 classic to relive some of the moments I loved as a kid. War3 was one of my most played games back then. Then I noticed I could upgrade the game to "Refunded" and I said "eh, let's try it". Paid, played half of the prologue mission (Graphics look like crap: thrall is a glorified simian, not an orc, besides they look terribly mobile-like), closed and 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.
