    It's not often that I legitimately believe that a game deserves a 0 - but this simply should not have been made. It is objectively worse than the original, and has no real reason to exist.

    I know everybody is upset about this game but as a real review. Look, this thing definitely could use a spit shine. Is the game worth 30 dollars? The game is actually worth 20 bucks at best in its current state but i have confidence that if they smooth out some of the issues the game will become pretty solid.

I have enjoyed my trip down the nostalgia highway, i even bought the game after all the terrible reviews because I like to think for myself and not take everybody else's word for it. I have enjoyed it so far. I believe 80% of these reviews are from people who did not even bother to buy the game and just want to jump on a bandwagon to help them feel less alone in their lonely lives.… Expand

    This company is getting down the drain.

    Game is not what it was promised to be.

    It has terrible performance, they cut out a lot of features that were in the original game, that btw, you can't access anymore, because they removed with this new version that is worse in every aspect.

    This cannot be tolerated.

Объяснял, что агрессивность монетизации будет расти, а качество продуктов будет падать ровно до тех пор пока коровы будут молча доиться.

    Blizzard has been making all the wrong decisions, this game probably flopped so hard it's caused a ripple effect that can send blizzard from being one of the best game dev companies of all time to one of the worst.

    I'll start by prefacing that I played and own the original Warcraft 3 and I also pre-ordered reforged following its release at Blizzcon.

    My user experience so far has been appalling The game is full of bugs, it crashes in the tutorial section and/or you cannot complete it when you get it to run due to trigger bugs. You get many crashes when trying to play versus other players or    I'll start by prefacing that I played and own the original Warcraft 3 and I also pre-ordered reforged following its release at Blizzcon.

    My user experience so far has been appalling The game is full of bugs, it crashes in the tutorial section and/or you cannot complete it when you get it to run due to trigger bugs. You get many crashes when trying to play versus other players or infinite load times.

    Heck because of Blizzards idiotic progressive agenda you cannot create a lobby for a certain Blizzard created map. This map in question is named Booty Bay, its one of the old classics created by Blizzard themselves, but because Booty is, for some odd reason, considered offensive, you cannot host a game for Blizzard's own map...

    The meniu is slow and clunky. Also and this is a big gripe, as an RTS fan you cannot change your building hotkeys. This is unacceptable, every civilized RTS game lets you remap the hotkeys to your own personal needs, even the remake of Starcraft, but WC3 only lets you change the layout.

    .While I do have to give credit where credit is due and say that the unit models are gorgeous even these are mired as sometimes the old assets can load. And, apart from the unit models, the textures for the terrain or even for some map assets such as trees, look somehow worse in Reforged.

    And now we come to the really egregious stuff. The game under delivered on what it promised. The in game cut-scenes are just a slightly prettier re-do of WC3 and in no way what was promised and show at Blizzcon 2018, with way better animated and fleshed out cut-scenes.

    This is a gross example of false advertisement + bait and switch, and its even worse given that the Blizzcon 2018 cinematics are still on Blizzard's site but nowhere to be found in the game.

    Blizzard is also blatantly anti-consumer with its refund policy. If you have started the game you cannot refund it, simple as that, despite the game being broken and full of bugs. As far as I am aware this goes against the refund policy of most countries where you get a grace period to try a product and if you don't like it you can refund it. Heck, industry leader Valve lets you try a game for 2 hours and then refund it.

    And last but not least there is the abusive terms and conditions for creating custom maps where, you as a creator and user waive away all your rights to any custom map you create through Blizzard tool. Last time I checked if you buy Adobe Photoshop you have full rights to what you create through it and Adobe has no rights to your creations, why does Blizzard think its different/superior.

    Oh and I was about to forget, you no longer have access to the classical Warcraft 3 online, Blizzard migrated all of it to Warcraft Reforged, meaning all the online problems you have in reforged you have in the old game, thereby destroying 2 games with 1 move, a first in gaming.

    Overall do not, buy, the game is just not worth it in its current state, and the company itself has proven it does not care about user experience, it only cares about making money at your expense.    … Expand

    Unfortunately, like most people here, the game didn't deliver on the set expectations by Blizzard. Crappy skin-over, choppy gameplay, missing features promised. What else is there to say. Game doesn't even deserve a 0/10.

    How is it even possible to ruin a 17 years old game? I don't know how but Blizzard managed to do it with this one. Flashy trailer but nothing make it in the final game; promised cutscenes do not exist and more and more disappointment.

    Blizzard is now the worst game developer on the planet. It wasn't Activistion's fault, they willingly transformed their company into what it is today. In retrospect, they never had an original idea, always stealing the idea from somewhere else and polishing it into something nice. I'll never give them another penny.

    Awful, unfinished game, typical of Blizzard to release this tripe - the company has lost its way completely. Stay away from this and don't give them any more of your money.

    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.
