    Excellence demands excellence and Blizzard could have honored its great heritage in a better way. It remains one of the cornerstones of the strategy market, as well as an exceptional experience for any self-respecting video game lover.

    Had Reforged been an optional and free graphical update, undersold and understated and a gift to fans, I doubt there would be any backlash. Instead, Blizzard suggested a revolutionary re-imagining of one of gaming’s most popular titles and failed spectacularly to deliver it. Warcraft III: Reforged does not diminish the core experience that made the game great, but its relatively modest improvements are coupled with some missing features and technical issues that make it a disappointment.

    The remaster stays far below its possibilities and makes multiplayer worse than in the original. The single-player campaign is still great.

    An inexplicably careless remaster, where none of the changes are unequivocally for the better and the experience is brought down further by numerous bugs and missing features.

    Reforged is just a new way to play the campaign of one of the best games ever made… but that’s pretty much. Blizzard has a lot of work to do to fix this and deliver the remaster the original deserves.

    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.

    There’s nothing in Reforged that keeps me hooked in. I was sad playing it. Sad that it ultimately failed. That there are so many things that could have been done better – boldly and with more polish. [03/2020, p.48]

    This is an absolutely an amazing nostalgia trip for me, unlike WoW classic which immediately bored the crap out of me after 5 minutes.This is an absolutely an amazing nostalgia trip for me, unlike WoW classic which immediately bored the crap out of me after 5 minutes.

    Music is improved, visuals, cinematics, etc. This is exactly what I expected and it was delivered.

    On the 3rd missions in the campaign and already addicted just as I was when the game originally released. You know you have another gem when you can't turn off the game even after mythic/LFR Ny'alotha come out on the same day! Way to go Blizz!!!! Now all we can hope for is Warcraft 4 and a great new storyline. I CANNOT wait to get to the frozen throne expansion already!!!!! Almost 70 missions of single player content and can't wait to try some multiplayer after I'm done with the campaign. This is awesome. NO ONE does RTS like Blizzard.    … Expand

Nothing is there.Basically 30/40$ For something that a mod been doing for years. Hd textures/new models. All the stuff that they promise? Nothing is there. Nothing new. No changes. They even manage to introduce more bugs, and, even still have the old ones. While removing stuff from the ORIGINAL game, to try and make you buy this scam. If you own the physical version of the original game, treasure it. Cause thats the only way you will be able to play like it was b4 they destroy it.… Expand

This game was my childhood and to see it come back with a modern touch made me even more excited. Watching the new and improved cutscenes had me in awe, that we’d be able to see a more dynamic angle to this beloved classic. However BLIZZARD decided to actually lie about the game they redid (they still have their unfulfilled promises on the Warcraft III: Reforged website) Never have I seen a classic tarnished by their own company like this. The game is — more or less — a copy and paste of the original, just with new model designs. The UI wasn’t touched up, which they promised would be fixed, the cutscenes were still the same as they were back in 2002, with maybe better sound design. I got my refund thankfully because I will not pay $30 to play a game from 17 years ago with only better graphics to its name. If they want me to buy WARCRAFT III: REFORGED, they need to give fans what they saw at BlizzCon 2018. Please do the right thing here Blizzard Entertainment. Please fix this. I’ll happily wait if that means this is done right.… Expand
