So yeah, my little Remastered review list:

👍
-Modernised gameplay awesome to rediscover the very first Warcraft formula
-Visuals actually quite good, just lack of extra animated details (for the "feels like mobile game", well, considering that a huge lot of fantasy strategy games on mobile have cloned huge chunks of Warcraft designs, it isn't very surprising that some people get that feeling)
-Remastered soundtrack is great (still can't get over how much I like the remastered intro theme)

👎
-Could've been a bit more ambitious at tweaking the old gameplay, some original annoyances are still there (gameplay details like sometimes weird pathfinding, close-combat units contrary to range ones which just stop doing anything after destroying a building even if there are still hostiles around...), and they definitely feel a bit weird when mixed with the smoother controls
-SFX and voices have been barely to not been remastered at all
-No more multiplayer, and custom games limited to 1vs1 (understandable for the og game, the old controls and the selection limited to 4 units made the micromanagement quite difficult for big games, but now that it's not a limitation anymore, would be cool to experience Warcraft I playstyle on larger maps with more players)

@transcendentempress What amuses me is that WC looks like WCII did originally and WCII looks like WCIII did prior to Reforged! Also it amuses me that the WC and WCII first missions are basically identical, even though they are at opposite ends of the Eastern Kingdom...

@foxbasealpha Yeah! And same for Starcraft, the first missions are very much that same template "1/build a bunch of buildings, 2/build a bunch of units and kill some enemies, 3/destroy your first enemy base".😆

@transcendentempress whispers I actually rather liked WCIII Reforged too. I guess all the bugs are finally ironed out 4 years later! I didn’t play WCIII much back in the day, so wouldn’t be able to comment on if Reforged ‘ruined it’…

@foxbasealpha Haven't played the Reforged version at all, but from what I understood, it's less than it ruined the game per say and more that v1 was extremely disappointing in what it initially promised to bring.
