![]() The altered cutscenes? They were returning to a more vanilla Warcraft 3 style, although there would be alterations here and there. The changed maps? Some would be changed, but most would stay the same. The revamped campaign with new story arcs? That was gone. So I tuned in to the Deep Dive panel to listen to the developers talk about the game, where it was in development and what I should expect going forward.īecause it was at Blizzcon 2019 where I learned that they had changed course on many of the things they highlighted at Blizzcon 2018. Diablo IV, Overwatch 2, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, all of those games boosted my excitement, but more importantly, I wanted to hear more about Warcraft III: Reforged. I bought a virtual ticket because I heard that there were going to be some high profile announcements at the con and I didn’t want to miss out on all the juicy details, and boy I wasn’t disappointed. I was looking forward to the revamped campaign, the changed maps, the altered cutscenes.Īnd then I watched Blizzcon 2019. I eyeballed sites like Wowhead which discussed all the news surrounding Reforged updates, I shared information with my friends and guildmates in various discord servers. So I waited patiently for news about the game. Seeing the model comparisons just made my jaw drop, and a few weeks after Blizzcon, as soon as my finances allowed me to, I pre-purchased the Spoils of War Edition, because not only did I want the game, but I play two Forsaken characters in WoW who now own a sweet looking Meatwagon mount… The visual upgrades alone were enough to sell the game to me. So when Blizzard announced at Blizzcon in 2018 that they would be releasing Warcraft III: Reforged, a remaster of the RTS that I loved back in the day, I was very excited. I love the Warcraft series, and while I eventually stopped playing Warcraft III, I never really stopped playing Warcraft games, as I’ve spent the past 15 years playing World of Warcraft, something which I don’t regret at all, even if some expansions were less than stellar… Not only because I wasn’t really that good at beating other players, but also because I was connecting to the game on a dial-up connection, and my house only had one phone line, so the moment a call came through, I lost my connection and lost whatever game I was playing. I played the hell out of Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne, even going so far as to jump into the multiplayer and have a crack at the ladder, although I never really got far. Then Warcraft III launched and I snapped it up immediately. I never really touched multiplayer, as I didn’t have an internet connection at the time but I loved the single-player and I would often challenge myself to beat missions within a certain time or with only a certain type of unit. I saved up what money I had, bought Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (and later the expansion, Beyond the Dark Portal) and I played that game as often as I could. I thought it was an amazing game and I wanted to get my hands on it and play it for myself, which I did. The first time I played a Warcraft game is when I played Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness on my friends’ laptop while I was still in school. Okay, let’s get into detail and I’ll start with some history leading up to this point just to give those who read this a good idea of where I stand in regards to the Warcraft series and the RTS genre.įor me, Warcraft is a BIG chunk of my history, not going to lie. There we go, review done, 10/10 well done Kelvoran… Warcraft III Reforged is a remaster of a legendary RTS, but despite improving the game in many places, it brings with it its’ own flaws which take away from the complete experience. Okay so, let’s get this out of the way real quick because this review is going to be a long one, with quite a bit of text dedicated to history leading up to Reforged launch, so I’ll give you all a quick TLDR at the start to sum up my opinion before expanding on my thoughts down the line.
