Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (2002 Video Game)
10/10
Blizzard's magnum opus will forever shine
9 February 2024
Once again, replayed in original english language after several years (17?) and beaten in hard difficulty, what can I say about this masterpiece that has not been said before? Nothing, just that it is leaps and bounds better than the dated and unconvincing Warhammer 40K fanfiction going by the name of Starcraft I and its expansion in every possible regards: gameplay, story (all the betrayals and alliances finally have a sense and a meaning!), character development, voice acting, music, philosophical themes in the background, artstyle, humour, everything is top notch to the point of this not being just an RTS, not just an epic fantasy tale, but a 100% interactive storytelling experience that you either do at least once in your life or you're losing something fundational for the whole entertainment in general. I can't applaude Chris Metzen, Samwise Didier and the whole Blizzard team enough for this effort beyond expiration date. An eternal Must and certainty, no question of sorts attached.

No reforged version was needed for this Masterpiece IMHO.

P. S. Comic book decostructionists like Alan Moore and Frank Miller can happily suck the toes of the work of deconstruction of fantasy and non-fantasy tropes the guys of Blizzard achieved with this.
