    Worse than the original. No rating system, looks like my little pony. It's just unpleasant to watch. This is even if you do not take into account the fact that all pre-orders were rejected.

After 2 days(since im a busy man and have little free time these days) I finally managed to launch the damn thing and damn, just damn. First, the main menu is laggy as heck FIX IT ASAP, then after the two games got merged the 'new classic' version of WC3 actually looks far worse then the old one before the merge?! Why? Are you trying to force me to buy your 'reforged' you jackasses? HUH? I was never interested in your damned REFORGED trash, aight?! Ever since I heard youre gonna ramaster it I KNEW that your gonna f it up, because I knew you are not the same company that you used to be and that actually made THIS game, so WHY remastering it? So what did you do you morons? What did you improve? The graphics? The sound? I can be a female DK / DH now? But want gender neutral, not enough, aight? Forced me out of the old WC3 classic? Features that existed before the merge no longer exist? Gave me a laggy main menu? Everything that I now create in the editor belongs to you? I have an even better idea, why not everything that I create in real life is all yours too? I say, implement that. The 'new' classic version looks worse then the old one? Oh, you did that on purpose didnt you? You sneaky little brats. You mother ****ers. Youre gonna mess with me?! I've played your game for all these years, playing and playing and keeping it alive, and now your gonna do this to me? Who the heck is your boss you dimwits? Wait, wait let me google this guy name; Damn you jackasses are alot; Brian Kelly, Bobby Kotick, Coddy Johnson, Dennis Durkin, J. Allen Brack, Allen Adham - **** YOU! What the hell are you gonna do about it huh? Thats right, nothing. So listen, listen here what were gonna do, aight? I will uninstall this garbage, forget all about WC3 and move on, and you will get the **** out of my sight and watch me as I no longer support & buy from you greedy corporate bastards, aight? Expand

    Delivers on absolutely zero of the promises made in the past in addition, without allowing the consumer the option, deleting the original Warcraft 3 from your system and there is no longer a way to play the game in its genuine state any longer An absolute stain on the world

    False advertisement during Blizzcon 2018, totally broke, slowness. They also broke the original game at the same time.
    Less features than the original Wc3, only remastered graphics (however cinematics are exactly the same). And if you liked making your own custom games, Blizzard now own them.

    One big **** Not only is the game released a bottom and a cash leap. Made overwhelmingly, they have destroyed the classic version that cannot be installed. Like the graphics can be changed but the Polish language version has also been changed to the bottom one from the reforged version. only with CDs you can play a good old game. at blizzard, the finite donkeys make their decisions.

How could this be realeased I thought to my self, as the game looked nothing like what we were promised.

    Well folks, unfortunately, this is not an out of season April jokes.
    Reforged just doesn’t look as good as it was promised. While the graphics are upgraded, cutscenes don’t feature the cinematic camera work that was previously advertised. You can see the comparison between the 2018 version that was playable at BlizzCon with the launch.

    I signed up to Metacritic to write this review. I had played WC3 TFT for about three years when it was new. I came back to the game in about August of 2019 after seeing the reforged version being advertised and thought it would be fun to play this game again, so I purchased. I played only custom multiplayer games on the battlenet almost daily, things like LOTRs, TD legion war, Helms deepI signed up to Metacritic to write this review.

I played only custom multiplayer games on the battlenet almost daily, things like LOTRs, TD legion war, Helms deep ect ect.

    Even though the game was very old it was still fun to play on multi player, and the graphics held up very good throughout all these years.
    Now I logged on to play two days ago and couldn't as it seemed to download the new content for a full day. When I got on the whole userface was changed. Then I got into a game and thought, what the hell happened to this game, the graphics are terrible, I could no longer tell what a unit was anymore as the graphics ARE HORRIBLE. I asked in my LOTR game how to revert back to the old Warcraft 3 TFT and they said you cannot.

    This is the worst "Upgrade", its like they tried to make this a cheap rip off of StarCraft 2, which I personally don't like the graphics and camera positioning of that game either. So this will be the last game of Blizzard I ever buy, as the last game I bought from Blizzard was StarCraft 2. So going forward please let users revert back to old Warcraft 3 TFT in every regard, being multiplayer outlay, graphics, special effects, clans, ladderboard, ect ect.

    And just a free business tip, don't reforge or remake any of your game's clearly Blizzard doesn't have the graphics designers or vision to produce AAA games anymore, you took one of the most polished beloved games in gaming history and massacred it. Like I said before, I will never buy a Blizzard product again, nor even consider buying one again.

    Folks, stay far far away from this game that way you'll still have the nice fuzzies thinking about Warcraft 3 TFT, instead of seeing the horror of this reforged version.

Still falsely advertising a cutscene on their website that is vastly different from the one actually in game. Downright criminal. Banning people who help others get refunds. Blizzard, smarten up.

    Writing this review literally breaks my heart. I grew up on Blizzard with StarCraft: Broodwar and Warcraft III/TFT, these games helped shape my childhood as I strove to become ever better, moved into the iCCup semi-professional league and spent years watching VODs and going to tournaments to try and support these games.

    For me, the introduction of World of Warcraft was the beginning of the end of a dynasty. I knew Warcraft would probably never be an RTS game again so I held out hope for StarCraft 2 which was also a major disappointment. When Warcraft III: Reforged was announced, I dared to hope and I sorely wish I hadn't. Yet, even then, i was willing to hold out hope that Blizzard would refund purchases and strive to make the game great...

    Then I learned about them banning forum accounts for helping people get refunds, refusing refunds for anyone with more than 2 hours of game time in the game and even denying people who hadn't even installed the game!

    The end of the Blizzard dynasty spells a dark chapter in my childhood but hopefully it will serve as a lesson to both Blizzard and other gaming companies that gamers are sick and tired of settling for second-rate crap. You make promises, you deliver. You make a game you want us to purchase, then give us a reason to.

    Nice demaster Blizzard, keep it up. A game that could have reignited a franchise became a swan sang of a has-been company.

    I'm speechless. I cannot fathom how is it possibe to release a "remake" that's worse in every metric compared to a 18 years old game. I don't want even to touch the subject about the botched online.
    DO NOT BUY THIS It's an insult to the warcraft players moreso it removes the old client and online experience.

    Upon starting the game a few minutes after release, the lack of player profiles, ladder/ranking system, the "new" user interface and menu design that is somehow worse than it was in the classic Warcraft 3 game just made me really confused.

    Once I started the campaign I was amazed to see that somehow, even on the lowest settings I have huge fps problems.

    The versus (competitive) part of the game wasn't implemented at release. Linking your classic account does literally nothing. Most of the custom games don't even work. The chat window in the main menu is very laggy and unresponsive. You can't ignore or report people anywhere. Switching graphics to "classic mode" is not the same as graphics on the old client and the best thing is: the old client is just not available anymore, and there are many, many more bugs that I didn't include here...

    I literally can't find a reason why I would suggest anyone to buy this game. Especially after they started banning people on their own forums where people helped others on how to refund the game.

    This is unacceptable from any company.

    This is absolutely horrible. The only reason this is not getting a 0 is due to the amazing work done on the new models, almost every unit has received a new models, several cities were redone as well such as Quel'thalas, Dalaran and Stratholme, so the game has positive aspects but this is where it ends.

    Multiplayer is horribly bugged, the terms for custom maps that disallows third party stuff and takes away user rights for ideas is terrible, not only does it make classic epic custom maps illegal, but it takes away the moral right of an idea by automatically making it belong to blizzard!

    Furthermore you have broken promises, all the upgraded cutscenes shown in 2018 are gone, several advertised things have been removed, and a lot of features are gone such as cross-region custom games.

    Shaders, shadows and lights are unfinished, making the amazing new models look like weird plastic. This is just NOT okay for a 30-40 bucks reforged edition, promised to be much more than a remaster.
    Really, Warcraft 3 Reforged is a disaster and should not have come out in this state.

    An absolute disaster, to resonate on a lot of the comments previously mentioned it feels like the old blizzard we knew is long gone. This is a broken product simply put. What's worst is that it breaks the original amazing game by migrating it over to the new battle.net system.

    I absolutely loved the original WC3 when it first came out and played it for years. I have probably lost several months of my life to that game. So I was massively excited when I saw and heard about Reforged. I even pre-ordered it and I never pre-order any games.

    I absolutely loved the original WC3 when it first came out and played it for years. I have probably lost several months of my life to that game. So I was massively excited when I saw and heard about Reforged. I even pre-ordered it and I never pre-order any games.

    Then, it released. I don't think I could have been more disappointed. Firstly, the main point of the whole release was to bring in wonderful "4K" graphics and 3D character portraits. Considering it's 2020, the graphics are just nothing short of rubbish. SC2 was released 10 years ago and it looks considerably better than what they gave us in Reforged. It makes me wander what they actually spent all that time doing, because it definitely wasn't in making a decent engine upgrade. The character portraits are even worse in my opinion and had this weird neon outlining around parts of them when the 3D portraits moved. The engine itself as a whole is pretty terrible. Most of the time my FPS was alright and pretty high, but it made the fans on my graphics card sound like jet engines constantly even when barely anything was on screen or happening despite SC2 (again, released 10 years ago, looking tonnes better and having far more going on in it) doesn't even make it break into a sweat in comparison. I kept getting annoying micro-stutters which seemed to be relating to animations loading - but it would happen constantly, not even just the first time a certain animation happened and loaded, it would keep happening when that animation played again the next time, and the time after that, etc. And there seemed to be some weird engine bugs with fires. Even a single tiny fire on the screen would turn my game into a slideshow of around 10 FPS. As I got further into the first parts of the campaign, my FPS seemed to suffer more and more even while only managing a few units.

    Let's not even go into all the bugs surrounding disconnecting you from the game, having to reload the game over and over until it decided to remember that you've actually completed levels in the campaign, the fact that I read in multiple places that a UI overhaul/upgrade was going to be put in and it hasn't, I also read that waypathing was meant to be fixed from the original game - it hasn't, cutscenes seemed to disappear or be missing, the sound in some cutscenes was mumbled in places as if the characters were underwater, and there are tonnes of multiplayer-related features completely missing at launch.

    I just don't get what Blizzard actually spent their time on during this release because none of it is polished at all. And the one single thing that they absolutely promised and needed to get right - decent graphics - really fell short of any kind of mark. So short you need a microscope to find out where they landed and to work out if they actually moved forward in the first place. And to have so many performance-related FPS issues in the game when barely anything is going on and the graphics suck, in the year 2020, is just unacceptable.

    Sure there is a huge nostalgic feeling if you're a fan of the original game as I was. But it's just not worth paying £25 for. I wouldn't even pay £15 for it. I actually requested a refund through Blizzard's website because I feel the job's been done so poorly.

    I really wanted WC3 Reforged to be awesome. It was the one game I was looking forward to throughout 2019. I wish they'd gotten it right. But this game feels worse than the original in a lot of ways - at least you could run the original bug-free, feature-full and with amazing performance even if the graphics and ui were slightly dated.

    One of the things that annoys me the most about this whole shambles is the fact that I've read that Blizzard are banning people on the forums for asking for refunds or helping others to find out how to get a refund, and they seem to be widely ignoring the community's response to such a badly made game.

    Blizzard, you took people's money with this and completely crapped it up the wall. Own up to it and put it right.

    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.
