    Очень некачественный за 1299 рублей.
    Лаги начинаются в главном меню. Вылеты из аккаунта бателнета каждые 30 секунд. Интерфейс не растягивается на весь экран, ощущение что был сделан для квадратных мониторов (4:3). Игра не поддерживает широкие мониторы и это в 2020 году. Анимация сделана ужасно как и новая озвучка. Не кому не рекомендую покупать это.    Очень некачественный за 1299 рублей.

    Blizzard is dead. The game lives under false advertising, corporate greed and a crippling EULA. DO NOT BUY. If you already did, there's still a chance for you to get a refund.

    False advertisement of a product

    At first I was very excited for this game as I was hopeful with Blizzcon, they not even added new art, but new cutscenes and music from WoW, at the beginning it felt like this was a team that Blizzard let them do whatever they want, to one of their most beloved games. I was aware of all the promises they made. The Final product is not what they said,    False advertisement of a product

    The Final product is not what they said, not only that, my PC can't run it properly, no QoL changes, cinematics are literally the same, cut scenes are really the same, for some reason, the older version of the portrait feels more realistic than the current one, they advertise this as a Remake, not a Remaster. Very poorly done guys not worth the 30 euros.    … Expand

    I am having a great time!

    So far I am enjoying playing Warcraft 3: Reforged. But then I realized, it's for all the wrong reasons. I had heard that the whole "New stories and altered lore to fit in better with the current lore" had been scrapped, which I thought was a shame. But it wasn't until I saw gameplay from the original Warcraft 3, that it hit me: I am enjoying Warcraft 3. The only difference is that it is HD. And the HD is a bit hit or miss - sometimes it looks really cool, and other times it looks stiff and generic. Seems like I paid 30$ for a fan HD rendition of the game.

    I like how the lips match the words the characters are saying. I really don't understand why the rest of the face is so stiff though. This is most apparent in the cutscenes, which are not the promised cinematic retelling of classic in-game cutscenes, but just the same cutscenes from Warcraft 3, but with the newer models. Happy Arthas at the beginning of the game basically has the exact same expression as angry Arthas later on in the game.

    TL;DR: I am enjoying the Warcraft 3 elements, but I am not quite sure exactly what I paid 30$ for, nor why it took so long to develop, even though the features that seemingly would've taken the most effort weren't implemented.    … Expand

    Beyond horrified by the cash-grab monstrosity that Blizzard (RIP) has become. I have been concerned about this game since the beta was released to select streamers last year, for it looked extremely shoddy and I couldn't imagine them improving it much before launch. (I mean, when was the last time a babd beta transformed into a good game?)

    In comparison to what they promised, especially    Beyond horrified by the cash-grab monstrosity that Blizzard (RIP) has become. I have been concerned about this game since the beta was released to select streamers last year, for it looked extremely shoddy and I couldn't imagine them improving it much before launch. (I mean, when was the last time a babd beta transformed into a good game?)

    In comparison to what they promised, especially the footage from the trailer a few years ago when first revealed, this game is utter garbage. It genuinely looks worse than the original game. Yes, there are new character models. I know that some people like them. I don't especially, for they don't make use of the same design language as before – it is very noticeable that they were made out of house. The cut scenes and cinematic scenes in this new release are ALL WORSE than the original. They are dark and muddy to look at, lacking the magic and authenticity of the old game, and not coming even close to what was previewed. Quite what they've done to the audio in this release is beyond my understanding. I just know it sounds worse.

    I preordered this game in a state of optimism and excitement. And now can't even get a refund (I'm disputing the case, but currently that's the status). It is pathetic of Blizzard to have blatantly lied about what they were promising, and then very quietly dialled back on virtually every promise. The fact that they changed the licence regards modding and map-making is atrocious – it was one of the best things about the original game. There is just so little regard for the passion and enthusiasm of their biggest and most loyal fans. This is not the same company I fell in love with as a kid. They are corporate, greedy, shameless, and liars to boot.

    The game doesn't even run well. Yes, that's right. A game made in 2002 doesn't run in 2020. What's more, they have screwed the original, forcing us all to use the new Battle.net. So, yeah. They have failed to "reforge" the game. They have virtually killed the original game. They have lied and lied and lied; taken our money to pay lawyers to write up new draconian and frankly unreasonable user-agreements that directly spit on fans who have loved and supported Blizzard for decades; trashed what was the best ever RTS of all time (yes, I consider it better than SC); and don't even have the decency to refund preorders. Being lied to by anyone is unpleasant. To be lied to by your favourite games studio, in relation to your favourite game is off the charts.

    I honestly hope Blizzard crumbles and disappears over the next few years. I would be ashamed to work there now. Employees should protest the corporate takeover. Fans and customers need to vote with their wallets. I suspect that Diablo 4 will be the final proof that Blizzard is dead. It needs to be buried and left to rest. What exists today is an infected corpse, belching up putrid crap in exchange for as much money as it can leech from us (the vast majority of which goes to shareholders and company heads – not to the actual creatives and developers). I will never again preorder a game from them. This is the end.    … Expand

    Bought it, downloaded it, saw the cut-scenes they claimed to have been "reforged" but was actually the same. It's basically the same engine and they squeezed in the 4K graphics they are so proud of which made the same 2002 engine choke.

    We wanted a remake, not a reskin.

    This sorry of an excuse of a game is the yet another example of Blizzard falling deeper into a constant and endless state of disappointing a once proud fan-base. It is both sad, yet not surprising somehow that their falling from Grace seems to be the default now, and unfortunately will be from this point on.

    Too much game time was used. Refunds are aimed more at mistakes or technical issues that prevent the game from even launching, so the time limits are very strict.

    That said, every game has its own requirements and demands on a PC. I definitely recommend reaching out to our Tech Support for assistance in troubleshooting the glitches that you're getting because there's a good chance that we can help fix them:    … Expand

    I bought my first PC back in 2002 with Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos. This game was amazing, also the Frozen Throne Addon which was release 2003.

    I met so many nice people back in the days in Battle Net, we created a clan, We created lots of Maps with the World Editor which we played on LAN Parties, we played Ladder games so we had a lot of fun! Blizzard was the best company in the world in my opinion because you knew that when they release a game its not a beta game its a 1.0 Version not 0.8??? Version which is Warcraft 3 Reforged.

    I've never thought that it would be possible to ruin this experience with this disaster of a game, along without the possibility of not PLAYING THE CLASSIC GAME anymore! incredible! This feels like an 'out-of-season April's Fool joke' but it isnt! I feel so pissed about the Bugs ingame, the missing UI, the "Defeat" Problem when starting a mission in campaign and the performance. I feel like testing a software for 30 Euros as a beta tester(yes i am from Europe/Germany so sorry for my bad English ;) ).

    I will start to refund this game, despite it is said that if you click 'Start' in the Launcher you cannot refund the game anymore!

    They cant get away with that, everyone should know that Blizzard is not Blizzard anymore!

    So if you read this and u wanted to buy this game Dont do it! Maybe they will fix some problems in the next months but at this state you should not buy this game(wait for a sale maybe for 10 bugs).

    I give it a 0 because its still a beta and i cant give a critic to a game which isnt Version 1.0!

I played the game at one friend of mine's home, and I'm very glad I didn't risk my money with a preorder (considering the fact that Blizzard seems to negate refunds).

    All in all, it's a shame that Blizzard didn't respect a masterpiece like warcraft III, and it's a shame that Blizzard doesn't minimally respect its customers.    … Expand

    Congrats Blizz, you've managed to create the digital Corona virus. I suppose it was inevitable when, laziness, manipulation and lies are left to fester in a greed driven company.

    It's safe to say that at this stage..

    **BLIZZARD NEEDS TO BE QUARANTINED** Urgently, ASAP, STAT!

    It's a mess. Overwatch is in the middle of CPR, World of Warcraft is on life support, Warcraft 3 is dead on arrival and Diablo 4 is just waiting to be euthanized. At this rate all the classics that we love will be infected by this greed, eventually tainting any positive memories we have.

    Going forward, there are measures we must take. Wash your hands of Blizzard/Activision obvious money grabs. Mask up against their cunning promises and lies. Keep an eye out for more consumer oriented companies and funnel your nutrients/money to them. We should be promoting good behavior and vaccinating ourselves against the bad.

    Made an account just for this. i almost bought the game within a heartbeat just for the experience of playing many old favorite custom maps with friends. Changed my mind thanks to Blizzard's new policies regarding custom maps and intellectual property. Guess it was futile to hope they would make a turn for the better after the HK censorship debacle.

    Players of the original game are forced to upgrade to the new client, which is borderline unplayable.
    Constant crashes and lag as well as desyncs in custom maps, and missing features (no ladder etc).
    The new Eula that gives blizz ownership over any custom content means this game will quickly become a ghost town. Missed opportunity from a company well past its prime.

    3 of 10 points for better modelgraphics (i like elves buildings - anyhow in multiplayer right now I prefer old graphics cause better visibility/contrast/performance) and the rerendered intro and upscaled.

    ALL other things are worse!!!

    I am a mass German WarCraft 3 Player (2nd German Illidan - about 25k games overall) with semiprofessional history (Top10 Ladder in AT and RT several times) and even when i did not play several years I logged in with my mainaccount (all ICONS earned) every 3 months for 17,5 years!!!) so my achivements get not lost.
    If my Icons will get lost now (right now they are....!!#AaaaRGGH#!!, but Blizzard said, they will try to keep them as it is possible) i will make a really hard cut with my old love (best gaming forge of the old times) Blizzard.

    I payed over 4500€ until today for games, card packs and abos (and even much more for statues, fan stuff etc).
    After things with FREE Hong Kong, Diab. Immortal this REFORGED SCAM is too much - WarCraft 3 TFT is in my eyes the best game ever made (in sum of single- and multiplayer corresponding to the release time).
    I DEMAND very extensive rework/patches to this releases and I WANT MY hard earned Illidan, MAIEV, REXXAR, JAINA, SYLVANAS, ARCHIMOND Icons back (also the best atmosphere feature of B-NET, the good old automated tournaments!).

    P.S.: I hoped with a polished re-reales of this classical masterpiece a new player base would enter this legend and a fresh wind would blow through the realms - maybe even new tactics etc. coming.
    This chance was totally crashed ...
    There was a time, when release dates where determined by"WHEN IT'S DONE" and the games where created for players not for mass profit (on the long time side this is the same ... - cause you maybe lost me now ... it's too much) .

    Btw. FINALLY --> I got it refunded ...
    Money can be refunded, but faith can never be restored
    Hopefully Blizzard will learn from this and fix all the problems, polish the game to a maximum and add all the features and maybe now even more (as excuse!) than before.

    AND .... I WANT MY ICONS ....!!!

    P.S.: I keep upgrading this score, if Blizzard patches well!

It looks and feels like a cheap knockoff game to replicate the original. Makes sense considering the graphics were outsourced by a different company. Yup, the novelty wore off very quickly and I essentially payed $50 to play a crappier version of game I already had... Except... it’s not the same game, is it?

    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.
