    All my good memories are now buried into the ground, well done Blizzard. I had high hopes for this title and now I can't even wait for it to be fixed and play the old version in the meanwhile...
    Why do you do this?
    Is this the way you honor Warcraft III? The game that got us hooked for hours and hours... you HAVE to fix this game.
    Shame on you.

    Very worst game of all time. Best of blizzard. Do not buy or buy and refund it maybe they will learn.

    A cashgrab from that terrible company Blizzard. Worse than the original WC3, lacking tons of features/upgrades that were promised.

    A game that is not only sold by false advertising and contempt for both consumer rights and creative rights on fans who would create content for it.

    The game removes features from the original, has worse graphics in many cases, and removes all soul from the original storyline. But, whereas a normal bad game can be ignored, this game actively does damage by removing the option for people

    A morally bankrupt product in almost every aspect.

    Shame on you Blizzard! Filthy thieves! Disgusting trap of a game! It's all a plan to steal from modders and destroy old warcraft... it's literally a trap. FULL OUT SCAN! DAMN YOU TO HELL!

    They promised to reforge the game, we got a HD reskin.

    The game is buggy and unoptimized. Features that were present in the original game were removed. I mean, what to say? The original game is awesome, this one not so much. It’s just shows blizzard as a company is done/gone sadly. I’ve played blizzard games since Lost Vikings. Warcraft 3 is one of their better games. Reforge…

    I’m just disappointed in Activision blizzard.

    This is what happens when you don't deliver what you have promised, and instead you are chasing the possibility of a class action lawsuit. Well played, Blizzard, well done Activision...

    Blizzard has gone out of their way to ruin your childhood. They have no respect for their IP or you as a consumer. Do not give them any money.

    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.

    This is what happens when you rush a game to meet quarterly targets and please shareholders instead of releasing it when it's ready. Shame on you Blizzard for letting coorporate greed turn a beloved company into an empty shell of its former self.

    $30 wasted and not even an opportunity to play the original. Blizzard is but a skeleton and sock puppet of Activision. What a complete utter let down of a beloved classic. Ui is horrible. Can't even play most custom maps, many things left out that were said to be in the game, graphics are not that great. The last straw was the B's about them owning rights to all custom maps.

    The game doesn't deserve a 0, but I'll give it that anyway because Blizzard needs to know they overstep their boundary by promising one thing and releasing another. I was looking forward to reliving my childhood again, but instead, the only childhood that I will be reliving is piracy because Blizz also deletes the original version of the game.

    Pre-purchased it right after the announcement on Blizzcon, such a clear bait and switch scam. Guess I should stop supporting blizzard as a company, Activision greed took it over. :-(

    Blizzard, thank you for ruining this franchise. Good luck with your budget for WC 4. If there’ll be any.

    A remake so poor it somehow managed to go back in time and ruin the game it was supposed to improve. That's dedication, about all it is.

    Ok so basically Blizzard, not happy with their current selling of any morals they had left tactics have gone for lies, lies, topped with lies and fibs, BS and a sprinkling of money grabbing horse crap. Waste of time, money and oxygen!

    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.
