To begin with Warcraft 3 Reforged was hyped with lots of broken promises.
They said there was going to be over 4 hours of new in game cutscenes and cinematics, we only got about 4 minutes and it was bad.
Promised overall changes to the story to give characters like Jaina a bigger role, nothing delivered.
Lots of new bugs introduced such as color bug from skills like Crypt Lord impale or main hall upgrade, eventually you don't what what is what as all colors gets mixed, enemy even gets your color. Instant defeat upon start, characters in campaign suddenly turning invisible.
Does not look near what it showed back in 2018, instead we get much uglier animation. On top of that they are just standing still. Old cut scenes were more alive.
For a while Blizzard actively banned anyone asking or trying to help others get a refund, but now you will get a refund upon request. (always something)
Merged itself with the old Warcraft so not only was it a game of broken promises, but killed an old classic I loved to this day.
The irony is that this version is essentially just a re skin that they demand 30 dollars (or 40 for extras) and it is ugly. The animation was outsourced which could explain why the characters does not have the Blizzard look. Also it is now hard to differ the characters, like ghouls and skeletons or footmen and knights are too similar. Also they did add a lot more upon death sounds but again making it too similar so you don't know what is what. Because of that most pro players uses old animation. Not even the professionals can tell what is what with the new animation. Better still Thorzain got disconnected twice in an offline tournament vs Moon .
With the new update as of 28 January it took away custom maps folder.
On top of that with the new user agreement they now claim 100% ownership of all maps including moral rights meaning you won't even get the credit for any maps that you make. As a result lots of map makers has stopped working on their custom maps.
Could go on and on, but his game has the lowest score of any game on metacritic for a reason
