"Warcraft 3 Reforged" has the lowest user score on Metacritic at 0.5. This dubious record was previously held by "Day One: Garry's Incident," which was pushed into second place by a number of drive-bys that scored 10 out of 10, inflating its user score from 0.4 to 0.7. Incidentally, even "Metal Gear Survive" has a user rating of 1.2.

According to user bob4ever, Warcraft 3 Reforged is "the worst remaster ever." Meanwhile, solwltar wrote, "Blizzard disabled my old Warcraft 3 version and tried to make me download an additional 30gb (my game only had 2gb), and the option to play maps that had custom models like pokemon, naruto, dbz I was told it was gone. 0-10". And Encore 22 is upset that "Blizzard has a paragraph in the user agreement for this game that says they have exclusive rights to any custom games made with this game. One of the companies that used to be my number one choice is ○○○○ which is unbelievable. This game doesn't deliver what it promises, and I'm not even going to start on the price ($40) for what is essentially an HD mod"

.

In addition to complaints about being forced to update existing "Warcraft 3" to the new version, custom map changes, various bugs, and EULA updates, many players were surprised that the cutscenes were not updated as dramatically as the intro (which Blizzard mentioned, but only if you were paying attention to the interview at the time, i.e., if you waited until five minutes before this interview started); Blizzard has scrapped plans to rewrite the story due to complaints from fans who wanted all the original voices to remain.

After the announcement of Diablo Immortal and the Blitzchung debacle, Blizzard really wanted a win. However, Warcraft 3 Reforged proved to be otherwise.
