How ‘Warcraft III’ became a great ‘Lord of the Rings’ game
Warcraft III: Reforged has been released. We may never get a Warcraft IV, but at least III and its expansion The Frozen Throne are finally getting some love: A refined user interface, more detailed units and buildings, native 4K support, and so on. It’s been a while since I’ve played either campaign, and I’m looking forward to revisiting it. Arthas’s downfall is still one of Blizzard’s best story lines, and I’m excited to see it fully redone.
Blizzard’s authored story is the smallest portion of my love for though. I played it for years, and what kept me coming back is an element that was incredibly important at the time, but rarely discussed now: was one of the best games. Maybe the best.
