    Ни за что не покупайте данную игру, это просто плевок в душу фанатам.
    Сожалею, что сделал предзаказ сразу же после анонса, теперь не смогу вернуть деньги.

    As a 15+ years player of the Warcraft III universe, I was so hyped about the prospect of Reforged that I pre-purchases it, anxious for its ingame cutscenes, UI, and specially the coming back of my beloved World Editor.

Now that the game launched, not only were the cutscenes, cinematic and other lore improvements not verified, but the new clause regarding ActiBlizzard now owning each and any custom game made, made my heart break and shiver. I now lost my final attachment to the game as it is, as the Company I believed and fell in love with more then 10 years ago is no longer there. Not only they would never enforce this type of greedy and toxic approach to the people who have been keeping this universe alive for the past decade, but it clearly is a demonstration that this is no longer a gaming Company, but only a stock holder bank for digital money grabs. It is disgusting and should be shamed publicly by the Industry.… Expand

    I've never written an online review on a product before let alone a Metacritic review but Blizzard has given me no other choice but to write this short but straight to the point review about Warcraft III: Reforged.

I have extreme buyers remorse and I can't believe I was duped by a company that I have loved for so long. Fortunately, I have yet to open the game on my PC and I was lucky to have a friend who opened his copy up and we played it on his machine. Because of this, I will be able to get a full refund whereas my friend is no longer eligible. With the release of this game Blizzard has made some of the most egregious, and morally inept moves i have seen a company of their size make in a long time; just for a few extra dollars to fill their coffers. It pains me to say this but I will not pre-order, or play anymore Blizzard games moving forward until they fix their company culture, business model, and public relations and right so many of the wrongs they committed in 2019 and now early 2020.… Expand

    A betrayal of trust and irreparable sullying of consumer-company relations for many blizzard fans. Falsely advertised and barely functional.

    Here's the thing: we have to review the game that is given to us, not the game that might be fixed/patched/updated in the coming weeks.

The bottom line is they have released a game that is WORSE than the classic version we fans have been playing and loving for 15 +years. There are broken promises about what would be in the game, a horrible lack of communication on where the game has been, preorders have been available for over a year and for those of us who did prepurchase there was little to no regard given. The only decent part of this remaster at release are the new unit models, and there we can gripe that they were outsourced to a malaysian company. Not exactly the high standards we hold Blizzard to, and the standard that Blizzard should be holding themselves to. People were defending the beta for so long, defending Blizzard for their lack of communication, defending Blizzard against people saying the preorder was just a cash grab. And now, finally, at release, we have this. - It sucks.… Expand

    Расстроен, что на столь отличную старую игру повесели ярлык «Рефордж». Я ожидал, что он провалится, но не ожидал, что Близзард поступят настолько уродливо. Они соврали про рекламу, столько шума было про Рефордж, а по итогу мы имеем... почти тоже самое всё.Расстроен, что на столь отличную старую игру повесели ярлык «Рефордж».

    Removed the classic Warcraft 3. Now, to play the old version, I have to download a client weighing 30 GB and look at the new shabby menu and listen to the new shabby voice acting. Burn in hell.

    This is a bad example of promoting a product by misleading customer. Gg Blizzard ! I am thinking the next 2 weeks if I will delete my account. Strong message must be sent. Years of forums about all blizzard issues culminated with this release. Clearly nobody is listening and taking actions. Our wallets will be the last frontier.

    Feels like a downgraded version of the original, with but with slightly better 3D models. I really tried to like this game too - bought it 13 months in advance...

    - No new UI
    - No new cutscenes (just the old ones rescaled)
    - No clans, chat boards, etc.
    - No competitive ladder
    - Bugs & crashes

Улучшить меню, визуализацию, добавить множество полезных и интересных статистик и т.д. Неужели это так сложно, когда у вас есть 20 лет на раздумье?

    They even replaced the legendary art director Samwise Didier`s icon from game. This artist is an idol of the art of Blizzard games. it feels like a spit in the face to fanbase and it dirty my nostalgic memories about epic game Warcraft 3. How they dare to stomp on legacy and pride of Warcraft, which literally is memorial that the game represents nowdays to many gamers?

    This game made promises it didn't keep. False advertising and a lack of refunds. This amounts to fraud in my opinion. A classic bait and switch. What happened to this company? This game is in an arguably worse state than it was 18 years ago. How does that even happen?

    This was my most anticipated game of 2019. The promised Blizzard made at the 2018 Blizzcon promised more than just a remaster. They promised 4 hours of remastered cutscenes, even showing one during Blizzcon 2018. They promised new voice acting and campaign elements that linked Warcraft 3 to World of Warcraft. We were shown and promised a new UI.

We were shown and promised a new UI.

    Did we get this? No. Nope. Nada. Do not buy. Avoid this game like the plague.

    Somewhere along the line, Blizzard decided to scrap these promises and kept very tight lipped about it. These highly liked promises that were shown are not in the game we got, despite some of these shown off previously.

    The game is now a much shallower version of the game we were promised. Yes, there are new models. These models that were outsourced to a Malaysian company that worked on the Starcraft remaster. So if another company is responsible for these models, what they hell is Blizzard responsible for here?

    -One recreated cutscene. Not the '4 hours' of remastered cutscenes that was promised.
    -No new UI
    -No new voice acting
    -No new story and campaign elements (The wikipedia entry has the gall to blame fan feedback for this)
    -a bug filled game, including a bug that 'auto fails' campaign missions.
    - A creation tool /custom game mode, where Blizzard owns any intellectual and moral rights to anything that fans create. Blizzard does not need to even credit the creator.

    How this game was released in this state is beyond me. What happened that all of these promised features were scrapped? The 'old' Blizzard would never have allowed a game to launch in this state. The old 'Blizzard polish' is missing and this is the worst game they have released.

    J Allen Brack. Hang your head in shame. Your predecessor Mike Morheim would never have allowed this.

    I'm seeking a refund.    … 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.
