Warcraft III: Reforged Reviews
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.
Warcraft 3: Reforged is the latest disappointment in a long string for industry titan Activision-Blizzard.
It was a dream for many RTS players to enjoy Warcraft 3 with modern graphics. And it seems, it will stay as a dream...

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

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.

While Warcraft 3 is still a phenomenal game to play today, Reforged is unfortunately a chaotic storm of failed promises, technical bugs and missed opportunities that makes a great game worse.
Warcraft III was a great RTS, and Warcraft III Reforged still is, but has a lot of issues. All races are balanced and the campaign is epic, but this remastered version has a number of issues that cannot be ignored, such as disconnecting from multiplayer or options that were in the original and gone in Reforged.

An exceptional RTS let down by a very disappointing remaster.
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.
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".

The legendary Warcraft is back, more beautiful and atmospheric than ever. But also full of failings and controversy

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.

Unfortunately, the finished product ended up being not much of an upgrade over the classic version of the game.
Despite the fun that I’ve had playing Warcraft 3: Reforged and for how it has reminded me what an incredibly influential and brilliant game it is, there’s no way I could recommend anyone outside of the absolute hardcore Warcraft fanbase to purchase it.
Warcraft III: Reforged is a much-needed remaster that's not quite complete.
Warcraft III: Reforged still delivers the same satisfying core gameplay and laudable campaigns, but Blizzard under-delivered on promises and removed features that made the original game something exceptional.
Warcraft III: Reforged is built upon such strong foundations, yet manages to be somewhat unremarkable in 2020, mired by technical hiccups and Blizzard's clumsy messaging.
