Warcraft Remastered is a trip through history that never was, and always will be
- Blizzard's Warcraft Remastered is somewhere in between historical preservation and remake with better graphics. The updated graphics are readable, but somehow less interesting, and, unlike Starcraft: Remastered, the game play has been altered. The core feature of Starcraft was no change in gameplay, whereas the selectable unit limit has been altered in Warcraft. With Warcraft II, the limit has been bumped from eight to twelve, and with Warcraft from four to nine units per group. By changing the original games so considerably, the design and balance of Warcraft has been tampered with. The quality of life changes intended to make the games more appealing to a modern audience are included, for example, the health bars, which are toggleable, and the original games do not have to run in DOSBox.
- Versions 2.0 of Warcraft III: Reforged stands out as the real prize in the Battle Chest version. Reforged, at launch, was an unfinished, buggy remaster, which replaced the original game wholesale. However, Reforged 2.0 has added significant improvements, including new portraits and skins, music from the first two Warcraft games, leveling in multiplayer, and big leaps forward in unit, building and effect visuals. Players can now mix and match between the Reforged and Classic HD graphics. Warcraft Remastered's games aren't perfect, nor are the releases, and they won't win many new fans nor will they convert old enemies. Nonetheless, they are still proof that someone, somewhere, in the midst of all the hustle and bustle of profit, still cares at least a little about how we got to where we are and the importance of the games that made us who we are and the medium what it is.
- Blizzard’s Warcraft Remastered is a retread over ground where the lines between what’s nostalgia and what needs to evolve are blurry.
- Warcraft I: Remastered and Warcraft II: Remastered feel caught between eras and there are not enough modernizations to attract fans who are not already familiar with the games.
- The remastered music is a meaningful change. The visual upgrades in Warcraft Remastered are more comprehensive than the rest of the additions.
- The remasters sit awkwardly between nostalgic artifacts, historical preservation, and modernization. Despite this, many people will enjoy reliving these familiar games in their updated form as a true modern classic.
- These remastered games are a reminder of what Warcraft was before it became what it is. What video games were many years ago, before they became what they are now. Moreover, it represents what the industry at large might be again someday; a place where history is valued, not buried when it stops making money.
- Blizzard has altered Warcraft II's online multiplayer with fundamental changes that affect the design and balance of the game. Blizzard could have done more modernization and preservation to the game and its design. Warcraft III: Reforged is a much-improved version of the game with new character models and skins and Classic HD visuals. The ability for players to mix and match between the Reforged and Classic HD graphics gives the game a new visual blend.
- These games may have not been afforded the same reverence as the like of StarCraft, but it is evident that Blizzard still cares about how the gaming industry was formed by these classic games.
