    Warcraft 3: reforged it's like ecce homo recreation. Warcraft 3 not was just a game, it was "The Game" which inspired several popular games such as "Dota 2", "league of legends" among others.

In the most basic aspects of the game it is exactly the same as its classic version, a "modern" redouble was made in the voices of the characters without any innovation. The HUD is exactly the same as the previous one but with "better" texture. Cinematics like all of the above remain exactly the same, despite the fact that Blizzard is known for doing very high quality cinematics, which is quite disappointing since it highlights the little and low interest that was had to create something of better quality with love that both the game was given to both the community and the former staff of warcraft 3. On the other hand we have the low publicity made, plus the advances that showed a game with better HUD, updated stories and fluid interludes which never arrived and probably will not arrive in some near or distant future, this fact can become denouncible to other players and distributors. In audio the game is a 3.5, it had a decent redouble, however it was only a recycling. As for the cinematics of the game a 1 due to the total recycling of these. Game-play 1.5 remains under the old hotkeys and can only be modified through a blog of notes something totally unforgivable in 2020. Animations 3 decent remodeling but rather buggy's and unclear in their attack renderings. Multiplayer 1 the game came out with a huge lack of features needed to create a community.
    final thoughts: The failure of this game is mainly due to the little dedication and lack of affection of a company to perhaps one of its greatest commercial successes, apart from demonstrating that their interest in the community that was created so long ago, they are not interested at all. Perhaps this bad edition definitely marks the fall of the rts genre and the reputation of the company responsible for this thing called "Warcraft 3: Reforged"    … Expand

    W3 was (and still is) a fantastic experience, created by developers who truly cared about making an exceptional game.

Reforged, however, is clearly a production helmed by a profit driven corporation, not the developers. It just feels like the finance/marketing department is running the show on this one. When Blizz cared about games, they would cancel before release and take the hit in order to protect their reputation, and uphold a bar of quality, which their success to this day is founded on. Blizzard was never "just a AAA developer", they were THE AAA developer. Everything they did screamed quality and polish. Reforged is an example about how much Blizzard as a company has changed. It's full of failed promises, inconsistent artwork, rushed design, and a drive to capitalize on the work of the community creators. Am I enjoying this game? Sure.. it's..... fine... I mean it's the same great game it was 20 years ago. Am I ok with Blizzard going back on promised features, downgrading the original game, cutting corners at every turn, attempting to take ownership of other peoples work and stifling the creative community and their fanbase.. no... this game is a brittle shell of what was originally promised. It's not worth the price tag offered, and there is absolutely no transparency to their fans. The only good things I can say are that the character models, for the most part look much more detailed and better animated, which is nice sure, and the core game remains the same.. everything else, the game environments, the voice acting, the cutscenes, the missing features, all feel half-baked. Big two thumbs down Blizzard. What happened to delaying until it's ready, and canning disappointing games that don't meet expectations?? why frantically push out something to make a quick buck when your reputation is on the line? Dissapointing..… Expand

    Positives:
    I'm playing it for 3 days now. First 2 days we had that matchmaking bug that was forcing us to restart the game, but yesterday it didn't happened to me at all (7-8 1v1 games), so I guess/hope it was hotfixed.
    At the beginning we had no MMR, but now we already have the implemented hidden MMR. We received a big post from Blizzard, explaining why things are like this atm, and    Positives:

    At the beginning we had no MMR, but now we already have the implemented hidden MMR.
    We received a big post from Blizzard, explaining why things are like this atm, and saying how it will be in the future, so during the next patch (which will happen during next 3 days :O ) Blizzard will fix colors/sound/other bugs and it seems that they will continue improving the game.
    As of this moment, campaign, variety of custom games, 1v1 + 2v2 + 3v3 + 4v4 + FFA are working just fine for me, so I'm glad I bought it. My game never crashed, and I saw 0 lag (my PC is "budget" at best).
    Also buying this game is a way for me to say thank you to the game developer, for many many hours of fun in the net cafe's with friends.

    Negatives:
    Although I see sometimes streamers are getting desync issues in 4v4, and complain about interface some issues, but I honestly can't even notice them.
    Not much new compared to old WC3 Classic, even missing thins like clans, proper chat, profile.
    New graphics (you can choose between old classic graphics and new reforged ones) make things like "unit surround" very hard. Generally targeting doesn't feel good enough atm.

    Neutral:
    It seems that most of the players forgot that Blizzard said that they will implement ranked/ladder the same way it was done for Star Craft Remastered - after first season (which I think is matter of some weeks, but don't quote me on that). I'm glad that there is no ranked atm, bcz if bugs were making players loose games due to unresolved technical issues, and those looses would have stayed forever in their acc match/statistics/history, it would be way worse.    … Expand

    Le jeu ne tient pas ses promesses, il propose uniquement une expérience Warcraft 3 mais sans le côté Reforged. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ils ressortent le même jeu, en moins beau avec énormément de bug et de problèmes d'optimisation.
    À l'époque j'aurais mis dans problème un 5 à la version originale, mais celle ci ne mérite pas une note positive de la part

    Blizzard's stance on the custom map community shows that they did not understand the appeal of wc3 was its custom games - by limiting the creative rights of map makers, they destroyed the only thing wc3 was good for.

    sad as it is to admit, this game defined a big part of my growing up. to this day the original still has a robust and interesting community it spawned maps that went on to become stand alone games that are huge in the gaming world and this redesign let down everything about the original and everyone who loved it, shame on you blizzard you are nothing but corporates now

Oh wait I mean Activision-Blizzard. It’s amazing how you can completely destroy one of the best games ever made in less than 24 hours. And the fact they merged the older client into the new one is the cherry on top. I’d give this lower than a zero if I could . What a disgrace. They had such an opportunity here but again it’s all about the money . They scammed people with promises to make a quick buck while they continue to try and grab as much cash as possible with subpar wow expansions and patches.… Expand

    It's fine. Aside from needing to be connected online to play and having lost access to some custom maps, it is a welcome update with many great features. Fans of the old school chunky graphics are in luck, thanks to blizzards continual support for this game they can enjoy a refreshing experience at no extra cost.

    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.
