    Blizzard, you deserved this! You have ruined our dreams! The game is terrible, old graphic looks much better than new one, there are a lot of bugs! And why shouid I additionally download 30GB of unknown files to keep playing old WC3 ????
    P.S. We will never forget what have you done with HOTS!
    P.P.S Rip old good Blizzard!

    Blizzard, when will the money be enough for you? Just file for bankruptcy and give us our refunds, because that would be more entertaining than this pile of garbage you call Warcraft, that I spent my hard earned money on. The game doesn't even run properly!!!

    I created account on Metacritic only for one purpose. Warcraft III. This was last game I pre ordered, and last game from Blizzard... Bye bye Blizzard.... Enjoy your fall under Activision

    This has to stop. As of now this game has little to do with what was promised. Warcraft Refunded has become a meme. And we all know a team of dedicated modders would have done a better job without "deleting" features of the old game.
    But actually the sad part is, that the size of this **** still surprises me... and I doubt Activision-Blizzard will learn anything from it.

    Blizzard once again shows that they don't know what their fanbase wants. And completely spits in our faces with a game not even finished on release and that actually removes features from the original. 0/10 **** blizzard

    Just horrible. Nothing like the original experience I enjoyed as a kid. A lot of content has been cut or scrapped and ot doesn't have the raw feeling the original version had. Seems like Blizzard is even worse cash-grabber as I had expected. Hope you won't mess up Diablo 4 as well. Shame on you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game that is full-priced,with pre-order option and not promises "new man's sky"-like but what it seemingly felt "doable" especially to blizzard's standards.Boy were we wrong,the game delivers less than half of what they promised,with many changed on the game being for the limitation of custom mapmaking and deleting the old lobby,making access to the all well-known W3 game impossible.
    Downgrade all the way,a game with too many lies and to many "targeted" updates such as the terms and condition around the custom mapmaking,feels disgusting.    … Expand

    Features that were available for WC3 TFT and have been cut with the release of Reforged:

    Cross-region play (the custom game list is no longer global and you can’t play with players from other realms, meaning it’s much harder to find players and fill game lobbies) Custom campaigns Clans Player profiles Ladder (ranked matchmaking, stats, automated tournaments) Good, battle.net 30 1.0    Features that were available for WC3 TFT and have been cut with the release of Reforged:

    Cross-region play (the custom game list is no longer global and you can’t play with players from other realms, meaning it’s much harder to find players and fill game lobbies)
    Custom campaigns
    Clans
    Player profiles
    Ladder (ranked matchmaking, stats, automated tournaments)
    Good, battle.net 30 1.0 chat system (you can no longer use commands such as /f l, /join; information on how many players are currently playing; list of communal channels; battle.net 30 news section; overall the chat system lost its’ soul)
    Beautiful UI/menus (in reforged client the menus feel sluggish and less optimised; the chat box overlaps the menus, atmospheric 3D campaign backgrounds are gone, etc.)
    Creative freedom in custom games (the WE EULA has been changed, adding a lot of limitations - everything you create now fully belongs to Blizzard, read more in other topics; censorship in maps and game names, for example a lobby called “booty bay” can not be hosted, even though it’s the name of an offical WC3 map, etc.)
    Classic graphics in Reforged client look worse (shadows are missing, saturation is off, some spells/effects are missing)
    RoC campaign is now using TFT balancing

    Features that were available during Blizzcon 2018 and have been cut during the latest updates:

    Arranged teams
    Reconnection via GProxy
    Overall game stability (desyncs or crashes would almost never happen, now custom games are plagued with both)
    Bot features (only going to list some of them):
    Online lobby list and in-game chat, available from a browser (what games are hosted right now, how many players are in a lobby, etc.)
    Competitive custom games (auto-balance and matchmaking based on ELO or empirical algorithms specialized for each custom map)
    Ability to kick/ban trolls (after the removal of bots they added the ban functionality, but you would have to re-ban the person every session)
    Better ping/latency
    Protection against hacks and maphacks
    Anti-spam protection
    Automatic replay saving and archiving with easy search from a website
    Game/replay archive
    Probably many more things that I can’t recall at this moment

    Problems with the game itself?
    bugs, crashes, (missions start with losing)
    stiff animations, graphical improvements as a whole feel weak
    removed the blizzcon2018 style cutscenes and instead they use basic TFT style cutscene
    still advertising 2018style cutscenes on their sales page
    removed the announced UI rework

    You simply should not release a game with missing models, bugs in not being able to enter games, etc.

    This review is specifically for the Reforged version of the game. I loved the original at the time, and even years later enjoyed the playback.

The promise was, since we were not purchasing improved gameplay, then the graphic assets, cinematic cutscenes and matchmaking interfaces would be improved to be worthy of the money. And they were not. In the case of cutscenes in particular, your money purchased a worse product than the original, and a direct contradiction to advertising promises. It feels like a bait and switch, advertising one thing and delivering something different. At this time there is simply no reason to spend money on this, and every reason to demand a refund.… 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.
