    Not as advertised. The game did not include the ingame cutscenes, I am unable to connect to the ladder and tons of bugs that makes the game feel rushed.

    First time i've seen a "remaster" that lacks features the original game had, and introduces new bugs the original game didn't had. Instead of a remaster this is more of a downgrade and a cashgrab.

    The cinematics remind me of all of these low budget Bollywood movie scenes.
    This game is a spit in the face to all of us Warcraft fans and it's original creators.

    Blizzard denied its legacy with this TERRIBLE remake of a absolutely wonderful game. New map creating laws are just disgusting. They have destroyed their trademark. if they wont take step back Im afraid its over for them, 20 000 angry people have spoken already

    Больше всего мне обидно, что ради этого убожества убили классический Варкрафт 3. А ведь я ради него я рефоржт и покупал. Это просто наглый обман, ведь он шел в комплекте с Рефоржтом. Почему не сделали как с ремастером Старкрафта - с поддержкой как старого, так и нового клиента, не понятно. Хотя нет,понятно, с таким релизом, большинство осталось бы играть в классику.

    Новая русская озвучка, с одной стороны это хорошо, английская ведь вышла без изменения, но озвучка так себе, и хотелось бы иметь возможность переключить на старую хотя бы в сетевой игре. Хуже всех озвучен главный героя - Артас, Уж на него-то можно было нормального актера найти.
    Игре я готов поставить 1 балл - за новые модельки. Все остальное сделано плохо, не доделано или не сделано вовсе.
    Отвратительная анимация, вырвиглазные текстурки, ландшафт, да и многие эффекты выглядят хуже, чем в 2002 году. Это все выглядит как какая-то шаблонная азиатская ММОРПГ, коих штампуют сотнями. Ах, ну да, Близзард же теперь не делает игры - эту работу отдали на оутсорсинг студии из Азии, вот они и сделали то что обычно делают.
    Финальный ролик, который ждали 17 лет, выглядит как фановая самоделка, да что там самодельщики сейчас и по-лучше делают. По уровню режессуры он проигрывает даже той кривой заглушке, что была в ТФТ, какие-то глупые анимешные ухмылки, в будушем Иллидан воскресит Артаса и они станут лучшими друзьями, ня. И такое от самого Близзарда, который славится своими великолепными роликами. Что ж. Теперь уже нет.
    И очень сомневаюсь, что в будущем что-то будут исправлять. Может какие-то баги и поправят, но тут проблема не в них.
    Деньги, естественно, возвращаю, негоже за такое платить.    … Expand

    Blizzard, you gave me so many satisfactions in my youth, fighting undead and demons in Diablo 2, orcs in Tides of Darkness, and zerglings in Starcraft.. I stayed awhile and proudly listened a glorious soundtrack driving me against evil..

There is no ranked play. From what other players are saying, it just matches you randomly with anyone, at any skill level. No profiles, no way to view win/loss. Custom games are even worse. I bought it to play some of my favorite custom maps....and asked for a refund because only older versions of the map work, still have issues with hosting, and then desynch and kick people randomly, even the host. Large maps also have lag issues, and the lag gets worse if the graphics are turned down. Not to mention Blizzard claims all custom maps as their intellectual property now, no joke. Not even sure how that is legal because old custom maps preexisted Reforged and should be exempt from new rules, but people then edit those old maps... Regardless this game is pretty much the old game with new graphics, not as much gameplay polish, missing a ton of features, with lots of bugs, particularly in regards to custom maps. For example, on one map, the game decided a bridge did not exist and was instead an invisible ramp so units would walk up and down cliffs.

    It is a beta or even alpha version of what it should be. Blizzard has been releasing incomplete games at retail pricing then adding to them over time to flesh them out. Compare HotS and OW to what they were on launch and you can see what I mean. They also did that with Reforged, but what they sold was an incomplete and buggy version of the same game they sold over 15 years ago. It would have been fine if they started with that game then updated to add to it, but all they really have is the campaign, most of the multiplayer, part of the custom games support, and almost none of the online chat/interface options.

    I am not paying $30 for a less optimized, and incomplete version of a game i can get anywhere for $15-$20. This game would get a 6 if it was released as a new title, but as a remake it gets a 0, because it is not even the complete game.

    Edit: I originally wrote this review a few days after release, but, if you are reading this now, it took this long to be able to submit it here, because Metacritic has blocked it this whole time.    … 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.
