    Нет нового интерфейса, мультиплеер без ранкеда, баги. Какой был смысл в перековке?

    Pros :
    - Graphics are nice.
    - We can now configure HotKeys (By editing a configuration file). - There is more people playing Warcraft 3 online now. :) Cons : - Bugs : Custom multiplayer crashes way too frequently or end for unknown reason (in game and during lobby), trees animation are buggy when exploring, offline mode isn't working and wants me to download something called "HELLO" (WTF    Pros :

    Cons :
    - Bugs : Custom multiplayer crashes way too frequently or end for unknown reason (in game and during lobby), trees animation are buggy when exploring, offline mode isn't working and wants me to download something called "HELLO" (WTF Blizz?), can't manage to play locally with a classic client, singleplayer campaign loading screens are glitchy (Black screen with half of the loading bar), and i'm certainly missing some... (All bugs mentioned here are from my experience ONLY with 8-12h played)
    - Voice acting is strongly disappointing (For my language at least (fr))
    - In game cutscenes are untouched and cinematics looks really bad, or even fan-made (Worst point for some of them: NO MUSIC !?)
    - Main menu is slow and laggy
    - Performance issues
    - No way to switch to 'classic' warcraft 3 sounds
    - Game not eligible for a refund even without playing it

    I feel like i've been lied to, and expected way more work. Especially knowing that it costs twice the price of Starcraft remastered (that IS mostly and HD version and was, in contrary of Warcraft 3 reforged, advertised like that). Maybe Warcraft 3 reforged doesn't really deserve a 0/10 (but still a bad score though for 30€ in 2020), but my disappointment towards this game and the overall company's direction, plus the fact that a game that marked history of RTS and childhoods gets so awkwardly digged from it's grave, and finally the impossibility to get a refund,.. I believe this score goes beyond this game and sincerely hope it will shake things up, and maybe, make this kind of moneygrab happen less often in the industry of gaming.

    TL;DR :
    Promises unkept, game unfinished, it's 30€ for HD models. if you already have Warcraft 3, there's no real point of buying this besides reforged graphics (and reforged bugs).    … Expand

    Such a dissapointment, they created problems for one of my favourite games that's 14+ years old it's a massive downgrade. Unforgivable, plus the 'new' reforged is literally an asset swap of models created by another company with more problems added. False advertising, no improved ui, no new cutscenes... List goes on

    this is by far the most disappointing game Blizzard has ever had an audacity to come up with to date.

    It makes my heart ache to put this note to a game that I liked so much but:
    -The remaster cutscene are not, we do not see the difference
    -The November 2018 demo is more beautiful than the current game
    -The only cutscene of the new game looks like a Lego cutscene
    -There are many crashes
    -The multi is buggy
    -A lot of functionality of W3 absent (clan, tournaments, ladders etc ...)

    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.
