Warcraft III: Reforged Reviews
Except for its solid core gameplay and intriguing story, Warcraft III: Reforged lacks any major updates over the original. In the end, what we have is a game that is a complete disappointment..
Warcraft III: Reforged is still one of the best RTS ever made, but is also one of the worst remake we have seen.

Unfortunately, the finished product ended up being not much of an upgrade over the classic version of the game.
In this state, the best way to describe Warcraft III: Reforged is "serviceable." Taken as a whole, just like the original, the remaster offers a great gameplay experience for newcomers, but there's not much here that would justify a purchase if you've already played the classic.
The heavy criticism towards Warcraft III: Reforged has nothing to do with the quality of the experience therein. This remains the wonderful real-time strategy that thousands of people have loved. The real problems begin when you take the changes of this remaster into consideration. The half-baked, unimpressive new engine and hit-or-miss design choices; the numerous bugs and network issues; and, finally, those mind-numbing, corporate-smelling decisions, like the fact that custom maps now belong to Blizzard, or how Reforged effectively ruins the original for those who don't even own the new game.
The legendary Warcraft is back, more beautiful and atmospheric than ever. But also full of failings and controversy

With Warcraft III: Reforged, Blizzard killed this legendary RTS, and instead offered fans and newcomers a neglected mess that's filled with bugs.

Lots of broken promises means this game doesn't worth buying just for Reforged makeup. But, if you haven't played Warcraft III before... then it's one hell of a game despite all annoying details.

The visual upgrade, in particular, is awesome and the “director’s cut” edit of the original campaigns into a beautifully written seven campaign arc, does not disappoint. However, it somehow manages to miss the sweet spot the original so lovingly crafted. Custom games have been marred by Blizzard’s new-found enlightenment over user rights, and strange decisions like replacing the original game client with the Reforged client have merit for scaring older fans off. It is also very clear the game needs polish. For all intents and purposes, it does feel like a rather lazily crafted remaster of an excellent game. Despite this, the game is enjoyable and satisfies most of the nostalgia driven cravings older gamers might have. Newer gamers, however, might be better off looking elsewhere for their RTS fix.
But compared with the bugs, missing features originally promised, and the fact that the game itself just looks like it got a shiny new paint job merely to hide the rust, Warcraft Reforged just isn’t worth the money.
Is Warcraft III: Reforged worth it? Of course, but only provided you've never played Warcraft III or if you want to relive its great single player campaign. As far as the multiplayer goes, there are big problems there, that will surely require some time to get fixed.

Warcraft 3 Reforged was build on fandom of the original game and if you like original story you will be able to enjoy also this remaster. Wors thing about the game is not a game itself, but promises made before. Without these promises, game could be accepted by the community much better, as a kind of regular "HD patch".

“If you set your expectations a little lower, then Warcraft 3 Reforged is a game worthy of your time and money. Sadly, for many of us out there, we were expecting a little more”
Fans of the original are clearly miffed but, if like me, you missed it the first time, or haven’t played in ages, Warcraft 3: Reforged is a game that simply must be played
It was a dream for many RTS players to enjoy Warcraft 3 with modern graphics. And it seems, it will stay as a dream...
