Originally I've voted for 3/10, but then I realized that a solid chunk of my reasons to like Reforged comes from the fact that at the base level it is still Warcraft 3. I don't think it's fair to factor those reasons into my assessment as they are something that I already had and therefore they aren't something I got from Reforged.
In my eyes, the only way to judge this game fairly is to consider only the changes and additions that it makes to the original game - and here I feel that, sadly, Reforged is more of a downgrade than upgrade. Thus, I reduced my score to 0.
As for my pros and cons, here's a list - it's obviously subjective and by no means comprehensive, but that's how I feel:
As a disclaimer - I've rated each element from 1-3, where:
- 1 - I like/dislike it.
- 2 - I like/dislike it a lot
- 3 - I like/dislike it a lot and it's a key feature for me
My pros:
- Amazing W3 campaigns -> +3
- Warcraft 3 gameplay -> +2
- World Editor -> +2
- The game runs really well for me -> +3
- I didn't really experience any major bugs -> +2
- I like a decent chunk of the new graphics -> +2
- I really like a build-in grid hotkey option -> +1
- I enjoy some of the tweaks to the campaigns -> +1
- There are some editor additions -> +1
Total: +17 (with W3), +10 (as a remaster)
My cons:
- Axing the Classic client / no light-weight installer / inconsistencies between Classic and Reforged SD-> -3
- No custom campaigns -> -2
- No reforged cutscenes -> -2
- Little new content -> -2
- No offline singleplayer -> -1
- Campaign nerfs -> -1
- Portrait lighting -> -1
- Terrain and some models -> -1
- Still somewhat buggy -> -1
Total: -14
So what's the conclusion here? Well, at least in my eyes - if you're someone who didn't play the original game, I can totally see why you might actually like Reforged, but to a person who played this game for a very long time... Reforged is - as I've said before - a downgrade.
