‣ 5/10 – Just one of Blizzards pimp slaps to the fans.
‣ Thoughts: After a few years since the disastrous release of Warcraft III: Reforged I decided to give it a go. Since I am a huge fan of these games, I knew that the base gameplay will still excite me, but where I really hoped to be impressed was in the graphical overhaul and those new cutscenes. Did I get what I hoped for? No, nobody did. Warcraft III: Reforged is a fucking scam in marketing. Almost nothing showed in the trailers were present in the game. Now with all that, I still tried to go in with an open mind. And to my surprise there were still things that felt remade. Animations and graphics were definitely improved upon and felt like they were those type of graphics you remember as a kid even though the game always looked worse. Some missions surprisingly were also touched up. They had little areas added or removed and I’m pretty sure there were even some new enemy types. And then there’s the remade cutscenes that in most cases felt worse. There are effects missing, camera angles that feel even more stagnant than the base game etc. All in all, the only reason why I’m not giving this a horrible score is because, I still love the base game that Warcraft is. The story is fun, the gameplay is good and the overall vibe of what made me enjoy these two games is, in a way, still there. I just don’t think this is a worthy improvement. They could’ve improved the horseshit troop AI, cutscenes, mission layouts, but they slacked off hard. The game deservers way more love than this.
