    This game is a total waste of money! Blizzard is not what they used to be. total disgrace. Don't buy this game. Blizzard is just going to keep stealing their fans money with every cash grab opportunity. What a disappointment.

    I will preface this with i did not play the OG Warcraft 3 game. Here is my review. i thing the fan complaints are justified but the user base score is not. blizzard has made some wonky decisions with games and can make wrong choices but the remaster was released on January 29 2020. for the community to be ripping blizz apart like this after a game has been released for a week isI will preface this with i did not play the OG Warcraft 3 game.

    Basically, they removed features from the old game, and removed the old game so you have to play with new degraded version. There is no incentives to create good custom games anymore. Promised features and upgrades never happened. We were also lied to. At the same time, good luck refunding once you have installed and tried the game.

    The meta now is, hype the game, show things you never

    The meta now is, hype the game, show things you never intend to implement, release unfinished game, and make it difficult or impossible to refund because of idiotic policies. I hope you live in a country with good consumer laws. Even I do that, abd comoanies still don't give a damn anymore.

    The company I once loved is no more. Activision has totally ruined the core of Blizzard which made good games, cared about quality and it's customers.

    Let me do a quick summarize:
    1. The game has a obviously downgrade.
    2. The "new" cinematics in-game wasn't like the live gameplay on blizzcon 2018. 3. They only rescaled the original cinematics. 4. The only "new" cinematic look like an amateur project from college. 5. No new UI. 6. They remove stuff from the original game like the clan system and single player mode. 7. The game doesn't

    5. No new UI.
    6. They remove stuff from the original game like the clan system and single player mode.
    7. The game doesn't have a proper hotkey configuration, if you want to custom your keys you need go to the fold games and edit a .txt.
    8. Blizzard remove the classic Warcraft 3 from battle.net, so the old community need to buy the new version if they want to play it.
    9. Blizzard put EULA, so if anybody create anything on this game, your creation below to blizzard.
    10. The game has FPS issues.

    Probably I forget mentioned something, but Blizzard die as company, they lost everything what made this corporation great. Finally do not buy this huge disappointment.

    Blizzard have some how managed to mutilate an absolute classic of a game that was completed over a decade ago.

    Outsourced the art to some random mobile game studio causing wild inconsistencies in the art style. Bait and switch from what the delivered vs what they showed years ago. Awful game crippling bugs, draconian EULA for custom maps. Blizzard should be ashamed for releasing this

    Game doesn’t even come close to what they promised on blizzcon 2018, they promised almost a new game, with tons of added cinematics and fully upgraded graphics but actually it’s just a bunch revamped character models, I barely see any difference between old 2002 and the new reforged terrain, new models become awkward sitting on top of the old 2002 graphics, it feels like just a half-doneGame doesn’t even come close to what they promised on blizzcon 2018, they promised almost a new game, with tons of added cinematics and fully upgraded graphics but actually it’s just a bunch revamped character models, I barely see any difference between old 2002 and the new reforged terrain, new models become awkward sitting on top of the old 2002 graphics, it feels like just a half-done job to grab some money since they are charging almost what a new game nowadays cost. If it were just for that, but no, they also killed the modding community, responsible for the success of the old game with games like DotA, Tower Defenses and other thousands of mods that people only bought the game to play them. They imposed intellectual property over any mod made using their platform, so they could milk more any players that is doing something to make the game better.. a Along with that, they removed some features from the old game and forced the old client to update to a “reforged lite” version of this, killing the joy from from those still playing the original Reign of Chaos and The Frozen thrne Expand

    Refunded. Very poor performance. They could have made so much money if they developed this properly.

    They massacred the old game. B.net was the holy grail of this game. All the custom map fun is dead. All the weekly tournaments are dead. I deserve to be able to play the old game.

    I don't know how do you degrade a complete wholesome experience. But, they somehow did just that. Congrats guys.
    Sorry to know that Blizzard still is not refunding some purchases.
    Don't bother buying this. Try to keep the old game. The slight visual upgrade is not worth it

    Blizzard has always been a trash can company, the shiny veneer has been chipping away for over a decade. Here's your ultimate turd of a game, proof that the blizzard you thought you knew has gone up in flames. Stop buying their **** products until they put GAMERS first

    disgraced to all the old developers who made warcraft 3. sad times. The UI has to be the worst thing about reforged. It's like the new developers have never played the old version.

    Not what was to be expected. The original game is more stable than this new POS. And they haven't even made 1 update since release to fix anything. GG wont be falling for another preorder from blizzard ever again. I woulda rather wished they left bnet the way it was, cause at this time it's pure garbage.

    The Blizzard we knew is gone! The Blizzard we knew is gone! Activision is taking control and they want MORE MONEY! Not some money, but a lot of money, ALL the money. And they'll push products out that are half finished if it means more money immediately.

    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.
