    An absolute scam of the highest magnitude. Others have described the problems much better than I ever could. Blizzard is dead.

    "Look how they massacred my boy" (Everyone, 2020). They promised us the world but only gave us New Jersey and Florida. Seriously though, clunky cutscenes, terrible (and I mean god-awful) animation for the one cinematic they did replace, no new content, no UI change, they changed the EULA agreement so that they have dictatorial control over intellectual property, they banned players, it was"Look how they massacred my boy" (Everyone, 2020).

To top it all off, they MAKE you update to reforged; you can't even play the classic version anymore unless you have the disc. Oh, and they removed LAN functionality and are refusing to give people refunds. The new models look great, but they removed the option to play with the shadows, and the in-game shaders are atrocious and make the game look worse than it did in classic. 10/10 will not buy anything from Blizz again, everything they touch lately gets destroyed.

    I did not buy the remaster but my original Warcraft 3 updated to this and now its broken, none of the custom games that I played for so many years work anymore, I can't start the campaign, half my graphics settings are greyed out, even the ones I used to have in the original game like shadows... how do I get a refund for the 17 year old version of the game?

    Huge bummer. I pre-ordered Reforged when the beta was early and things were really looking up for the end product. I'm sure anybody reading this has a good idea of the things that Blizzard removed, one I don't see mentioned a lot that is pertinent to the way I play is the late removal of 3440x1400 support.

I'm sure anybody reading this has a good idea of the things that Blizzard removed, one I don't see mentioned a lot that is pertinent to the way I play is the late removal of 3440x1400 support. Blizzard could have tackled this is so many different ways. Most modern companies just letterbox with art flanking the play area. This alone did not completely tinge the way I perceived this purchase though.

    The last minute stranglehold on ridiculous custom games is particularly egregious, as this was the most nostalgic part of multiplayer for me. It's a really sad state of affairs.

    The campaign is really underwhelming. I am really sad blizzard missed an opportunity to craft such a cool new-ish experience. I was really excited they'd use the opportunity maybe to tell new, smaller stories that don't quite fit within the game play scope of WoW. Maybe micro campaigns for sale for $5 or something. Anyways, I'm sure Blizzard is going to abandon reforged. It doesn't seem like they're commuted by any metric to deliver something special here.

    It's really disappointing to me that they're being so stingy about refunds. The way they've reacted to community outcry is flat out awful. I regret buying reforged -- I wouldn't have come here and review it if I wasn't outright denied a refund. I really hope Blizzard understands this outcry comes from a place of love for this universe. I'm sure people wouldn't have really minded a couple of different directions this whole thing could have taken, but somehow they rolled the dice on what seems to be the worst option. Release an unpolished game, break a classic one, bark at the community, and disrespect their customers.

    Sorry Blizzard. It's been a rough year. Here's to hoping this next decade is one of great product and prosper. Nobody reasonable wants to see Blizzard decay but nobody reasonable would deny that it is.

I had hundreds of maps that I could call a game rather than maps... But now why would people bother when Blizzard is gonna strip all the right away from you of your self made custom map?

    None of the above should equal to a low score of 0 I'm going to leave, 1, perhaps 3 for nostalgia's sake... But no, Blizzard had to go even further.

    Custom maps, the user-generated content that in the past from WarCraft III spawned not just new games, but genres, has been "reforged" by Blizzard as well. You no longer own your work, Blizzard owns it (that LoL/Dota thing still stings, eh Blizz?). Add to that a massive amount of removed features and restrictions put onto the custom maps creators and there's no point in even trying. But even that isn't as big of an issue as the... Oh, just read the next part.

    WarCraft III and WarCraft III: Reforged have been merged into one. Attempting to ignore the new and busted game and going back to what you know and love is as difficult and annoying as possible. There's some obscure link to where owners can download the game from Blizzard, there's the installing from an original CD or piracy... I don't know if you can even play the old WarCraft III online anymore due to all this mess.

    I'm done. Strike 3, Blizz. It's been a ride.

    Very disapointed with the final product.

    - No new grpahics engine
    - No new cutscenes (just the old ones rescaled)
    - Lots of old features missing

    The most disgusting cash grab I’ve ever seen. Game is completely broken. Missing an insane amount of promised content that they’re STILL advertising. Just overall broken mess. Blizzard has managed to unfinish a game that was released almost 20 years ago, even Bethesda can’t do that. Well done Blizzard. Or rather. Well done Activision Blizzard. Thank you for ruining your brand further.

    This remaster needed good year or two more of work which it's not getting. It's a shameless cashgrab that doesn't deliver almost anything that was promised at Blizzcon or does so only partially.

And why on earth would you force original WC3 to patch to the mess made in multiplayer??? I guess old Blizzard truly is dead now and Activision is all that is left. Expand

    Warcraft III: Reforged is proof that the Blizzard that was once revered as one of the best, most passionate video game developers is no longer. Now, we're left with a company who's only goal is to milk out as much money with as little effort as possible. This company has lost it's charm, it's goal, it's fanbase, and the respect of gamers everywhere.

    The game is not even trying, because if you don't like it, you CAN NOT get a refund.

    tl;dr don't buy this game, do not support Blizzard.

    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.
