    Riding a 0 train on this one but this game is one unfinished peace of crap. Campaign script missions are not even finished and hard difficulty in this is more like easy... I still want to believe they gonna do something with it but if it's gonna be in 2+ years

    The only fact that I don't have any access to Classic WIII anymore and am forced to download 30 Gb update (1000% the original game file size) to play a 'reforged' version filled with bugs... Blizzard... What did you do ?

    It. Is. Broken. A complete mess from top to bottom. To release such a dumpster fire, KNOWINGLY, we now know that Blizzard has no interest in creating good games anymore. I am very certain this is the last time I will ever by a Blizzard game again. No Shadowlands, no Overwatch 2, no Diablo 4. It's time to move on after 20 years.

    Preordered the game because I loved the old one, probably like everyone else. Played the old one two weeks before the new one was released, the nostalgy was there and I couldn't wait for the new one to come.

    This is actually just ridiculous. A remaster that they even postponed since it "wasn't ready yet" delivers nothing but a couple shiny models that they pretty much just ripped straight from WoW.

A remaster that they even postponed since it "wasn't ready yet" delivers nothing but a couple shiny models that they pretty much just ripped straight from WoW. No effort was put into this crap and it really just shows what blizzard has become these days. Blatant false marketing and even going so far as to ruin the game that so many people loved and have kept playing since 2002. "Just play the old version if you don't like the remaster" doesn't even apply here, as they even forced the worse UI along with new bugs and some questionable balancing decisions onto the old client. (They even disabled shadows in game if you're not on the reforged client, what kind of passive aggressive stuff is that?) A couple dedicated modders would have done a better job in a few months than this, and it's just embarrassing. I sincerely hope that Blizzard will learn something this time as the "Warcraft 3:refunded" meme gets traction, but rumors say that they might even refuse that so maybe they're beyond salvation. Don't even get me started on the custom games. Banning third party assets and CLAIMING everything made in their client as their own intellectual property. What a **** joke. Corporate greed strikes again. No one is going to bother to put any creativity into the custom game scene as Blizzard has made it clear that it doesn't give a **** about their player base. A sad story of a great company that has fallen from grace. RIP Blizzard entertainment.… Expand

    In short line, Activision killed all good in Blizzard. For 30 bucks you get makeup and nothing else.

    The fact that blizzard managed to downgrade an old game meanwhile taking away creative rights is a major scummy move. I am rating it a zero because I think there should be no one buying a downgrade.

    So Blizzard did it again, after releasing bad WoW expansions with the same features and overcharging players for it, now is time to do it with Warcraft 3. Blizzard died in 2008.

    The game is literally false advertising and Activision's really done it, there's a lot of vids and reviews already on the internet showing all the missing features, I'm not going to go into detail this time.

    WC3:R isn't what was promised. I was so disapointed at launch. A buggy game, unfinished. I asked and received a refund.

    Not only did the falsely advirtised stuff that never happened, but they removed features that were in the original. Oh well, at least I can play the original... oh wait. They made it where you can't play the original game anymore!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've never felt so ripped off after buying a game. Have been playing Blizzard games since I was a kid. And in my adult life, the company has been a good investment for my money. But after this Cluster**** I will never be purchasing a Blizzard game again, and will be pulling my investments out before this company crashes.… Expand

    Its a shame to see such a fall from graces. Blizzard once had a reputation of publishing the very best of games; polished depth, high quality, exceeding expectations.

    Now what are you? To have fallen so far and become just another money-grabbing deceptive publisher of mediocre games is the ultimate loser story. You that run the business? You dont know what on earth you're doing.    Its a shame to see such a fall from graces.

    Blizzard has officially died. It is only activision now. This has been the worst company of 2019 and I think these actions will continue through 2020. W3R is an absolute slap in the face to old school blizzard fans.

    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.
