    Very dissapointing remaster/remake of legendary game. This game failed in every aspect, everything in this game is bad.

    Sound was absolutely destroyed. As a russian player, for me localization was worsened, all these memories are gone. For an excuse, Blizzard totally changed localization, due to campaign changes (which had not changed at all)
    Gameplay changes, now everything got to TFT balance (even first campagns of ROC) which is not ok..
    No UI overhaul, no cinematics overhaul (4 hours of remastered cinematics, huh), nothing.
    Multiplayer has no ladder, it is absolutely pointless.
    Battle.net is a joke. There are no profile, no clans, global chat was worsened.
    Campaign was the last hope. Blizzard promised that they would change it to WoW canons, standarts. They promised some retcons. And there are no changes.
    Custom games, oh. Should I talk about them? Of course, Blizzard made new game-editor. BUT, they changed EULA that allows them to own every custom map, gamemode. Modders can't add any 3rd party custom models. This, no doubts, discourages all desire from modders.
    Some people report huge amounts of technical difficulties, bugs, lags, fps drops.

    Even though, Blizzard killed 3 games in one. Reforged, ROC and TFT.
    Now if you had a classic W3, you must download the all-new Reforged Warcraft. All your old, downloaded custom games will be gone. And even after that, you can't play your, 18 years old game, because all servers of classis W3 are dead, custom games are dead. And some players report that they can't play classic W3, they must buy Reforged to play classic.

    I thought Beta was a tragedy, but now I realize that release is a comedy.    … Expand

    5. Шрифты в меню, словно документ оформляли, в office world и то есть выбор. В классическом варианте шрифт был куда удачным.

    The most insulting piece of software I've ever laid my eyes on, I can't believe Blizzard higher ups sat down around a table, looked at this game current state, and approved its release with serious faces.

    This game is the biggest disappointment of 2020 so far.
    Here is my quick list of reasons why.
    1. Warcraft 3 original client completely replaced
    2. Custom Games is now IP owned by Blizzard.
    3. They lied about the game and continue advertising fake scenes that aren't in the game.
    4. Most importantly, the game runs terrible compared to classic.

    Well, I won't say anything new here for sure, though for me, perhaps less than for others it is less of a disappointment than it could've been. Over years of false advertisements from gazzilion companies I don't really expect anything from any of them. I'm not even talking here of absolutely false promises, I'm not even talking about how they screwed and messed up the original WC3-TFT.

Over years of false advertisements from gazzilion companies I don't really expect anything from any of them. I'm not even talking here of absolutely false promises, I'm not even talking about how they screwed and messed up the original WC3-TFT. I'm only talking of -this- particular product. Warcraft: Reforged aka Warcraft: Refunded.

    The graphics isn't up to par with modern standarts. Yes, models are having good textures and even more than three polygons, however there's no smoothness in animation, they look as if they are locked to 30 fps and if to be more exact - to 24. Why? The excuse was: To save the -mechanics-, but of course, uh-uh...

    Color pallete: Much bleaker than in original.

    Performance: Piss poor.

    Multiplayer: Lacks ladder and rating.

    You thought that they might've fixed old bugs? Ummmh. Well, the didn't. And added new ones.

    Should you buy this parody on a remaster? Your choice, but I wouldn't have. Maybe in a year or two, on sale and with fixued issues, but now - do please stay a cannon shot away from this thing.    … Expand

    What a horrible waste of everyone’s time. So much promised and nothing actually done. It really feels like they just had a guy sitting around for a year and then went oh crap we were suppose to launch that! Just go ahead and launch what ever we have. Don’t waste your money blizzard is dead!

Not only that they called this Reforged to get away with the fact that they changed so many things in-game. But they also shut down the servers for original Warcraft 3 that still had a huge fanbase. Myself included, and forced everyone else to play reforged if they want to go online. I won't be paying Blizzard anymore. For any of their games. I loved Blizzard and I used to play their games for 14 years. Goodbye old dead friend.… Expand

    Created an account just to ask this: What has happened to you Blizzard? You have forgotten your values and forsaken what made you great. Activision has destroyed you.

    I really feel for the old guard of your company, they must feel infinitely worse looking at the sorry state you are in now. My fond memories of Diablo, Starcraft, WoW and Warcraft will sadly now always remain just that, memories.

    I don't understand what blizzard was thinking with this. Removal of cross-realm play makes it harder to play TD and RPG-games which are what I mostly play in custom games since lag isn't usually a big factor in those but doesn't even matter since they also deleted all my downloaded maps. 18+ years of history and custom content down the drain for no reason.

    I'd rather have paid to prevent them from releasing this. You can no longer play using the old client, and even the menus run like **** on the new one. Disgusting.

    This is a broken mess that doesn't deliver what was promised, and features that were available in the old Warcraft 3 is no longer available. Not even if you try to play the original game, as you are forced to use the new client.

    Completely unacceptable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They delivered a terrible product. I preordered this game and what they showed on their reveal in 2018. is a completely different game than the one we got in 2020. The cutscenes look way worse, the FPS is terrible and many other features were cut.

I feel very sorry for the devs, since I believe they gave their all but these money grubbing greedy corporate scum up there (yes I'm talking to you Bobby and Co.) just won't let Blizzard be Blizzard anymore. I fear the future of the Warcraft Franchise, as well as Diablo 4 and Overwatch and I really hope Blizzard finds a way to disconnect from whatever cancer is destroying their company… 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.
