Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne Classic

Whatever their reputation is at the time of your reading this, it's undeniable that Blizzard Entertainment has created some legendary games in the past. Starcraft and Warcraft defined the RTS genre to this day, and Diablo 2 is legendary to the point that it's still being compared to modern hack and slash looters. Well,l recently, they've released these legendary games for completely free on their website. Today, we'll look at Warcraft 3.

To install Warcraft 3, make sure you have Balttle.net installed and just run the installer.

This features all of the original campaigns of the game, although unfortunately, the multiplayer requires you to buy Warcraft 3 Reforged. However, you still have access to the campaigns of the game, which feature a fantastic narrative. It still holds up to this day and the narrative that starts off as a simple black and white story quickly begins to meander as even the good characters begin to lie, cheat, steal, and backstab each other. You will follow each faction as different sides of the story are told, and it becomes an incredibly multifaceted story.

The game feels a little bit dated at times. For instance, you can only control and select 12 units at once, which means you need to set up a ton of different control groups to micro your army properly. This can get incredibly tedious, especially when the levels start setting the odds against you more and more.

Overall, though, Warcraft 3 holds up to this day. Any fan of the RTS genre who somehow hasn't played the campaigns of this game should definitely take this opportunity.
