Warcraft III: Reforged

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.

Warcraft 3 is such a powerful experience that simply outshines the many flaws of the Reforged operation. Some people wanted a complete remake, others called for #nochanges, and in the end we got the simplest remaster. But it still remains the remastered version of a masterpiece.

Warcraft III: Reforged teaches the harsh lesson that sacred, legendary titles need to be revisited with only the utmost care. Core elements that made the original an absolute Earth-shaker still remain, but as a remaster meant to enhance the original experience, Reforged is greatly flawed.

The initial plans for Warcraft 3: Reforged would have brought the community an ambitious new game, steeped in the classic gameplay and story of TFT & RoC. However, little by little the team started scaling back, starting with the story. Unfortunately, the finished product ended up being not much of an upgrade over the classic version of the game.

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.

It was a dream for many RTS players to enjoy Warcraft 3 with modern graphics. And it seems, it will stay as a dream.

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]

Please note that Patch 2.03 from July 2025 really changed this game. I only play the campaign, but from what I’ve seen on YouTube, the multiplayer is also playable. The graphics are great, and I haven’t experienced any glitches. I was in love with Warcraft 3 back in 2002, and now it’s finally back — and finally playable. Have fun!

I didn't hate it like everyone else hates it, but it's very frustrating that the developers didn't bring any of the innovations they promised. They only changed the graphics, otherwise it was almost the same. It was nice to play this legendary game again with slightly more updated graphics, but the only reason I gave it such a high score is because the new version carries some of the awesomeness of the original game.

Друзья, прошло очень много времени с момента релиза и когда игра только вышла, я был полностью согласен с оценкой. Но время идет, Метелица выпускает все новые патчи, а игра преображается и действительно становится лучше. На данный момент она очень сильно отличается от того, что было на релизе и хотя она не стала на 10 баллов, но и 0.6 она уже не заслуживает, в данный момент игра на твердые 5-6 баллов. И она заслуживает того, что бы дать ей еще один шанс.

Evet öncelikle kendi deneyimimi sötlemem lazım değerlendirmemi ona göre yapabilirin çünkü ben 2 yıldır sadece ırc oynayarak camping moduna girmeden düz borlara karşı yada yer yer multiplayer bi halde oyunun orjinal 2002 halini oynamış birisiyim fakat şunun altını çizerim orjinal disk sahibi değilim yani 1.0 sürümündeydim ve bi tane bile bugla karşılaşmadığımı sizlere söyleyebilirim gelelim reforget e bu oyun açık konuşcam gene ilk sürümde oynadım ve rezalet orc da yeni bi kahraman gördüm ama kullanılmaya değer bi karakter değil gibime geldi orjinal işçi orc a çok yazık etmişiz aslında 2002 çıkışlı bi oyuna göre bile çok kötü duruyo diyerek çünkü bu oyunda en az 1000 kat daha rezalet duruyo artık oyuna zorluk mosu gelmiş botlara karşı ki bu çok iyi bişey çünkğ eski botlar bunun direk insane moduyla kapışabilecek kadar iyiydi oyunun şu sürümü çok fazla donma problemi yaşıyo ve çevrimdışı modda bile multiplayere izin vermiyo bu duruma sinir oldum efektler artık nedense çok fazla yapay hissetiriyo orclarda bu oyunu bence sadece grafiklerini yükseltip sunmak yerine daha kaliteli bi warcraft 4 yada cidden kaliteli bi warcraft 3 remake görmek daha güzel olurdu

My disappointment is so massive I made a metacritic account just to review this. This must border on criminal with what they’ve sold to us compared to what was promised. Their silence on it is deafening. Get your refunds whilst you can because this is another Blizzard **** Dear lord, what a sad little game, Blizzard. You ruined a 17 year old game completely so you could have the money and I hope now you can spend it on getting proper developers and doing some market research. Because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on. So Blizzard return my money and get out of the market. You’re done. RIP Blizzard
