    I didn't buy reforged because I saw this coming, however my own old copy of wc3 is now **** with it? Go to hell blizzard, played your games since wc1 and now I have to be careful and refuse to buy your games for years. Good to see Activision managed to ruin one of the best game making companies in history.

    Extremely disappointing!

    A "Reforged" shouldn't be an upgrade in some areas and a downgrade in others. It should be an upgrade or at least a kept-the-same in all areas. They also decided that they were going to claim full IP rights on any mods, so the mod scene for it is going to be dead before it gets started. Pre-ordered it first day it was available. Refunded it after an hour    Extremely disappointing!

    Pre-ordered in 2018 and this game is a complete betrayal. Should've made the game on a new engine and started over from scratch instead of worrying about the older version of the game. Want a refund.

It doesn't look good at all, with weird mesh of very realistic graphics and cartoon. Doesn't sound good in every place where it didn't rip of sounds from the classic WC3. They have managed to mess up UI, unit models, color scheme, cut scenes etc. And that's just experience from single player.

    Now all mods made for Reforged belong to blizzard. Seriously? Solid ToS, i'm sure modding scene will thrive with that.

    But the worst thing is that they killed battle.net that run original WC3 TFT multi-player. You can no longer play it outside of downloading 30GB of this dumpster fire, forced into new client that takes away features. 17 years old classic, one of the best RTSs ever made with the best modding scene is dead. Well done Activision-Blizzard. Nothing is sacred anymore.    … Expand

    We were wrong. This game is a disaster. Get away from it as fast as you can. As a matter of fact, we need to leave Blizzard behind, not just this game. They're done. Over. Finished. They've already gone supernova, we're just haven't seen it yet.    … Expand

After 15 years, with so many great ideas that have sprouted along the way in how to enhance user experience and engagement, game just dissapoints. New cinematics have never seen quality assurance department (check arthas vs illidan reforged cutscene), they cut custom campaigns, clans, left old clunky user interface, spitted in the mouth of modding community by taking away their rights to custom maps (hoping that some brainlet will create another LoL or auto chess mod that they could profit from), without giving quality of life improvements to 15 year old world editor. And the worst thing is that they achieved bare minimum to release the game. Fully released game with coming soon features (clans)? Give me a break. I really wanted to see all new dynamic cinematics, clean, modern GUI, new stuff to keep me engaged (maybe some kind of expeditions up to 4 players where players can only play with heroes, more RPG way?) but we all see what we got instead. Such important part of gaming history treated without any love. They managed to piss off fans that didn't want for game to change and those who wanted to see something new. I'm just amazed how they did it. Shame on them.… Expand

    WC III: refunded - is by far the worst disappointing release in the whole game industry!
    Raw, bugged, glitched, lagged - are not the reasons I've written this review.
    But the degradation of Blizzard is so horrible, that they've managed to release in 20 20 "upgrade" that made their own game of 2002 worse, even in terms of graphics!
    Refund and 0 score - that's the maximum which Blizzard deserves!

    Awful. The new models create a mess when grouping units together, making it difficult to separate them. No LAN, no modder support - everything you make belongs to them. The game is massively buggy. I'm positive they plan to roll this out as a mobile game due to the changes. Blizzard is a shell of what it once was.

    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.
