    The first 5 hours were pretty horrific, you go in, the combat feels slow, everything that cost RL money seems to expensive.

Then you start fighting in groups, you start realizing the training wheels are off, you start realizing how you can build your own play style, you realize that the cash shop stuff is a shortcut you really don't need to take, and that simply playing the game and evolving your strategies as you go depending on your mission and frames is fun and rewarding.

    Pros:
    -Menus, your ship is the menu, it is gorgeous
    -Insane customization of stats and builds and weapons
    -Community of people who (statistically) welcome, encourage, and teach
    -Gorgeous graphics (when everything is cranked to max)
    -Cash shop isn't needed to progress or enjoy a thing
    -Mowing down waves of enemies that aren't too bright is pretty relaxing and fun
    -New Warframes (at lvl 30) really bring about different ways of playing

    Cons
    -RNG, the "endgame" gear is all about grinding out challenging (but repetitive) missions for the low % chance of the items you actually need appearing
    -Certain aspects just aren't finished (Archwing, its melee/gun Star Fox, but gorgeous) which can leave certain modes/areas feeling shallow
    -PC controls for wall running/jumping rather clunky for a "Space Ninja Simulator"
    -Stealth, its not a working system in the game, its rather frustrating and slow to try and only stealth through a level, the current system isn't built for it

    Is it the best overall game you've played? No.
    Is it fun to relax after work and mow down hordes with your friends? Yes.

    It is a very good game.

    It is worth giving hours of play because it has everything and is constantly updated.

    The community is friendly
    for me it is better than many for which you can pay.

    And the people behind this great game,
    It shows that they really care about the community.

    I missed this kind of fun for years.
    The game is not original but takes the basics to another level.
    The combat system gives real opportunities to laugh at the faces of the enemies. The way to improve weapons and skills is so addicting that you cannot stop yourself from aiming the top. So much possibilities. Once you understand that trade between players is way better than the shop,

    About 600+ hours without getting bored.
    Also find some friends 'cause online players matchmaking doesn't help building strats.

    The score gets bumped up for being the best MMO shooter out there despite being free. I will also include the disclaimer that I am not a fan of gunplay in video games.

    I've heard that, like Destiny, this game started out as a shell of an experience. However, here are a bunch of ways it is better than Destiny. First off, you don't need to shell out extra cash to get the proper experience. Additionally, it does not suddenly reset every handful years.The most important thing, however, is that they get MMO design right. Farming is deliberate, missions are varied, abilities are significant, builds are intricate, fashion is expressive, and trading is rewarding; all basic MMO design principles that Warframe gets so right, and Destiny gets so wrong.

    To top it all off, the narrative is on par with the best of the Star Wars franchise. The game starts slow, but trust me, stick it out until you awaken from the second dream. You'll know what that means when you get there; elaborating would be a huge spoiler; and if that doesn't finally hook you, feel free to move on.

    Muito bom jogo!Tem grandes atualizações que são feitas e sempre em continua melhora. Jogabilidade muito boa e e certamente o melhor jogos grátis para jogar. Eu recomendo vivenciá-lo com os seus amigos, já que se jogado de forma cooperativa e é muito mais divertido do que quando joga-se sozinho.

    (before all, Sorry for my bad English, i learn it all in games) Critics talking about Warframe: "this game is pure p2w" "is a good game, p2w is a pity" and so it goes.

    The Truth: the game is excellent, the people confuse pay to win with the pay to hurry, only that, also do not realize that with the market of the community it is possible to get cash without putting 1 cent in the game

    This game is free to play and certainly not pay to win. Now that that is out of the way.

    You get to play a whole slew of different frames that have different capabilities. These frames can be fine tuned to your own playing style and plenty of cosmetics to be had as well. The levels are a finite number and the goal of the game as well. Mix this up and there is still plenty of variety.

While you might be thinking well then what the hell? let me tell you this game has ton to offer and is not in the slightest a P2W game i can without a doubt guarantee that EVERYTHING IN THE GAME CAN BE OBTAINED FOR FREE!!!!! With the exception of a few cosmetic items in the store but they do you absolutely no good for improving you character other than making him look cool. Now a few people are probably gonna try and call me a liar for saying that which I'll find really funny. for one Prime gear not only is it nothing more than a cosmetic improvement to your weapons and Warframes can be obtained for free from doing a specific void mission. Now that's another thing to those saying you have to pay to get good stuff that's not at all true paying money on gear actually does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO MAKE YOU STRONGER. In fact chances you'll find someone with the exact same piece of gear and they most likely got it for free from their clan hall or buying in the store with the game money.

    Now for the graphics which are amazing by the way this game makes even some of the ps4 and Xbox one games look bad while there are like always a few annoying bugs like enemies spawning in the walls on occasion none of them are that bad(the one i mentioned is probably the worst one).

    The game is being constantly updated with new content even two years later the community is growing constantly and very friendly, and id give the support for this game a 10/10 they are extremely helpful as well. I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you download and join in the fun asap! Especially since this is one one of the few truly F2P games out there, I mean i can't think of any ps4/xbox one quality game that is truly free unlike this one its truly a masterpiece! Please give this game a try as soon as you can i can promise you, you won't be disappointed in the slightest! oh I can't forget you can parkour in this game as well! :D

    I started playing warframe back in 2014, took a 2 1/2 year break before oming back to it (the PoE update brought me back). The game has changed significantly, the mechanics that bugged me in the past were pretty much gone i.e. stamina, clunky movements, etc.

    [/b] FOUNDRY (item building) [/b]
    So Warframe has a mobile game style item build system that makes you wait for the item to be complete (It gives you the option of "rushing" the build so it is done instantly, The "Rush" is done with Platinum).

    There are 2 main currencies in Warframe, Credits and Platinum.

    [/b] CREDITS [/b]
    Credits are obtained through killing enemies, finishing missions etc. and act as the basic currency for many of the in-game actions.

    [/b] PLATINUM [/b]
    Platinum is obtainable by micro-transactions, (and it is not worth it in my opinion). However, you can earn platinum easily through trading.
    The are “Prime” parts/blueprints that drop from relics which are awarded to you in certain missions, an easy way to “farm” platinum would be to play a bunch of missions with good relic drops, play fissure missions to open the relics, go to trade chat or a relay and tell everyone what you are selling for how much platinum (Do your research on the market for prices or ask a veteran in chat)
    Note: It is easier to sell items if they are in a set i.e.
    Soma Prime Set would include:
    -Soma Prime Barrel
    -Soma Prime Receiver
    -Soma Prime Stock
    -Soma Prime Blueprint
    (when on the trade chat you can type: “WTS [Soma Prime] set 200p”) (as of Oct 2017, they may change formatting)
    Through this method I have earned an approx. 2500 platinum by selling sets.

    Also, avoid buying normal frames/ weapons with platinum (especially If they have a prime variant, Check online about how to get its blueprints/parts, the wiki is a great place to do so. As for Prime variants, they are mostly cheaper to buy than their normal ones with plat (some *vaulted ones are going for crazy high prices so avoid those) viz. Nekros is 375 plat on the market and he is a pain to farm, you need to fight lephantis over and over again in the orokin derelict assassinate mission, so that’s 2 layers of farming + RNG. As of 13 Oct 2017 Ive seen Nekros PRIME on sale in the trade chat for only 100- 105 plat.
    *Vaulted = Removed from the relic drop table, so they are no longer accessible through normal farming

    [/b] PAY TO WIN? [/b]
    No, all items are accessible without spending a single cent, some items can be acquired with a little farming, whilst others take a **** long time. Warframe is an excellent game for those of you who love grinding/farming missions.

    The only things behind paywalls are cosmetics, if you consider FashionFrame (cosmetic customisation without gameplay impacts) the endgame, then Warframe is Pay2Win obviously.

    With the exception of conclave, which is a small part of the game, everything is PVE, all of you are working towards a common goal, so any advantage would be on your side.

    The main issue (a minority of new players I’ve talked to mentioned this) is that some players have weapons/frames so effective that the rest of the team doesn’t get to do anything while he kills everything on the map [/strike] (I’m looking at you post-rework Limbo >:( ) [/strike]
    This is something that happens sometimes, you can avoid that by playing solo or with friends, if you have no friends like me, join an active clan, find squad mates of similar equipment level as you and go ham, farm that frame you want.

    [/b] PRIME ACCESS [/b]
    I have purchased prime access before, its worth it if you want to experience the game’s new content without having to farm for them. If you have disposable income and you spend most of your days working without much time to play, prime access would be good for you.
    The additional Plat that comes with it is a bonus in my eye, pamper your warframe with the latest syandana and armor sets.

    [/b] MODDING [/b]
    I have barely gotten all of the rarer mods desired by many players, so I can’t really speak in full confidence about this, but with the limited mods I have right now, every weapon has millions of possible effects and outputs depending on what you put onto it.
    This is the part of warframe I enjoy the most (Aside from fishing in the plains).

    [/b] CINEMATIC STORY-DRIVEN MISSIONS [/b]
    Warframe is a fast paced space-ninja-shoot-everything-that-moves game for most of its playtime, but there are good “cinematic quests” in Mid-Game, (The Second Dream and The War Within)which are pretty good, I’ll stop here to I don’t spoil anything.

    [/b] Bonus stuff: [/b]

    - There are cats and doggos in the game - You can spearfish - There’s Fishing in the game - You can catch fish [/b] Final rating: Excalibur Prime/10 [/b] p.s. counter opinions, corrections and memes are greatly appreciated.

    Warframe does offer Micro transactions and has a premium currency called plat but unlike other games they are not exploitative when compared to the loot boxes of AAA developers. If you see something you want you can get that item no random chance involved. But at no point does this game make you feel like you have to buy anything with your real world money. You can even sell some in game items for plat to get those items that do cost it.
    Warframe receives free updates that could be called expansions. Digital extremes is always adding more tenno and lately have been creating amazing open world maps and coming soon is Star wars battlefront 2 the good one not the new Dice disappointment space battles like missions
    The story is very interesting and engaging and still being written with new updates.

    Big negatives for me was:
    - Bad story-missions that was not balanced correctly where you die way to much as the player and some Story-missions (which you bought with the in-game resources) have ridiculous timers where your mission can fail at all.

    - NPC's can kill you under 1 second although you are invisible!(Loki Prime with Hushed Invisibility mod)

    - Hunting/Catching animals in Orb Vallis or in Plains of Eidolon is a complete disappointment because you are getting 90% of your time disturbed by enemy NPC's.

    Big positives:
    - A free 2 play game.
    - Opening relicts to sell Platinum or to get your Prime things to build.
    - A big choice of weapons to build and many mods to equipt.
    - Free content

    I could continue to list many positives and negatives, which would still be a mixed rating from me.

    I have poured more than 1,500 hours into this game (more than 2,700 if you ask the steam library) and only recently have I started to get this feeling that I'm running out of things to do, and the devs are still working on expanding it (they had a serious of bad hiccoughs in 2019, but they are slowly returning to their former selves, it seems)
    I think those numbers speak for themselves.

    This is a fantastic game only but it does face many issues most of which affect its new players most.

This is due to the games deep systems and mechanics which can be very daunting on sight and even as a player with two hundred plus hours it takes a lot to learn all the systems. It is an absolute requirement if you want to play this game to watch third party videos to assist in learning the systems which isn't necessarily a bad thing but may be unattractive to new player. This can result in new players quickly being overwhelmed and leaving the game. BUT once you begin to delve deeper learning the systems the game has so many possibilities which allows for many hours to be put into the game while still enjoying it. This point is only furthered by the constant support from the game by the developers which always has a flow of new content.

    Of course you cant forget the games main mechanics its combat and movement. The combat in the game feels very smooth allowing you slaughter hundreds of enemies at a time while not remaining to easy as the games stronger enemies the spawn on occasion still can prove to be a challenge. The melee combat is very fast and a bit jerky, personally i enjoy this because you can still tear through many enemies. Many of the melee weapons also have alternate actions such as being thrown or shields. Movement is an outstanding mechanic in this game and I could go as far to say it is the most fun mechanic in the game. The game allows for many modes of movement but primarily movement in your warframe allows for large leaps and spins as well as wall jumps. These leaps and such allow for you to gain momentum and hold it which feels great as you zoom through the levels and the landscapes of the open world areas.

    Another positive about this game is you can continue to play through the entirety of the game with no cost. But the option to pay for premium currency is always there if you wish to speed up the gameplay or buy other cosmetics although these microtransactions can be quite expensive. I feel they have implemented this system very well as I have never felt pressured to spend money but rather have wanted because I enjoy the games elements.

    This is all complimented by the games great style of graphics. Most of the time the games graphics have a bleak moody feel which fits the missions in the game incredibly well on most planets. This also is the catalyst for contrasting warframes against the environment as players are able to customize their colours.

    Overall this game is fantastic although daunting and is great to sink the occasional hours in or even better to play often and especially with friends. If you don't mind games where you have to grind hard to progress further but with a feeling of satisfaction after each step forward this game could be for you.

    Warframe is the best Free to Play. It has an amazing storyline, a really fun gameplay, good graphics and a great optimization. One of the best games I have ever played.

    “Space ninjas doing space ninjas stuff” is what I would describe WARFRAME in one sentence. WARFRAME is a Third-person shooter, action RPG with dungeon crawler like gameplay. In my opinion, WARFRAME is the best choice for a free to play action RPG game. I have sank over 700 hours of playtime on this game and the game still offers me a lot of things to do.

WARFRAME is a Third-person shooter, action RPG with dungeon crawler like gameplay. In my opinion, WARFRAME is the best choice for a free to play action RPG game. I have sank over 700 hours of playtime on this game and the game still offers me a lot of things to do. In this review I’ll be breaking down the pros and cons of the game.

    ======================================================================
    PROS
    1.) THE GAMEPLAY : EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER.

    The missions in this game have simple objectives like killing enemies and defending objectives, which anyone with a couple of hours can get a grasp on. But the difficulty will ramps up as you progress. So after playing for a while, you will discover movements option like bullet-jumping, aim gliding, and sliding. Which can be used to create strategies. There will also be upgrades that you will encounter like Mods, Companion, Buff, and Arcane. So the system gets pretty complicated and thus hard to master.

    2.) THE STORY : COMPLEX AND EVOLVING.

    Most of the story of WARFRAME is not given directly to the player via the main quest. But rather hidden details scattered across the game. The main quest only tells you what the gist of the story is about but if you want to truly understand the WARFRAME universe, you have to make theories and connection on your own. And there is no right or wrong theory because the story is still going after 9 years since the game launches.

    3.) THE GRAPHICS : BEAUTIFUL WITH GOOD PERFORMANCE.

    The visuals in this game is just phenomenal, not just because it is beautiful but also how the developer really pay attention to details. My favorite place in this game is Fortuna, a small Corpus colony located on the cold surface of Venus. The place is full of futuristic lights and robot which directly represents the Corpus faction as a whole. The best part of the graphics is that it only requires a mid-end GPU to run.
    I am currently using a 1050 TI for my graphics card and I can easily play on the highest settings with smooth 60 frames per second.

    4.) THE COMMUNITY : KIND AND WHOLESOME

    This game by far has the most kind and welcoming community I have ever witness. Most of the interaction I have with other players are really good. To prove my point, you could literally go into the game and ask any question inside the regional chat and I guarantee you that someone will answer you within 20 seconds. Toxicity in this game is very uncommon, In my time of playing I’ve only met 2 or 3 toxic player.

    5.) THE MONETIZATION : REALLY FREE TO PLAY.
    With every free to play game, comes microtransaction. This is no exception to WARFRAME. However premium currency in this game can be earned by simply trading items with other player. For me I have earned over 20$ worth of platinum by just flipping in-game items. So no one is really at a disadvantage in this game in my opinion.

    ======================================================================
    CONS
    1.) FEATURE CREEP : TOO MANY THINGS TO DO

    The updates to this game usually adds more content to the game, which is not necessary a bad thing. But after a while these content piles up to the point that there are just so much to do. These new content sometimes completely make old feature obsolete but the developer doesn’t realize this and kept adding new things without clearing the pile.

    2.) GRINDY : REPETITIVE MISSIONS

    The gameplay of this game can be repetitive after sometimes which makes the game boring. Lately, the developer also likes to lock new content behind a “grind wall” which basically means that in order to get to experience these new contents, you would have to spend lots of time doing the same thing. This can be a big no no for most casual player.

    ======================================================================
    CONCLUSION
    If you like action RPG game with huge amounts of content and don’t mind the steep learning curve, you should give this game a try. But If you don’t want to grind and spend time learning different concept of the game then you should look for another game. Overall, a solid 8/10.

Moving on, warframe is kind of the sweet spot for me and I am guessing a lot of gamers. First off having a coop only game was a pretty bold move and I would say it's a resounding success, so kudo's for that. While this game does make you wonder how cool pvp would be it still stands, imo, solidly as it is. I love so far how the game unfolds and how you slowly discover abilities of the warframe as you gain familiarity especially as regards advanced wallrunning and combat. Last night I realized I could power up my main abilities by fusing mods so I torqued up a sprint mod and got in a higher lvl mission with some more experienced players. I was flying through the objectives doing crazy wall running trying to keep up with these guys who knew all the shortcuts.. So much fun, being a space ninja has never been this badass. The art style is reminiscent of manga, but in a good way, because some manga is terri-bad. There is a nice diversity of warframes, weapons and playstyles available which should keep things interesting for some time. Also new content like dojos, clan structering, etc.. is in the works. The f2p model is working for me so far though expect to grind for new stuff which instead of buying outright you buy a blueprint for and then find crafting materials on missions to create content in your foundry, a main menu crafting screen.
    The high pointsfor me here are the slick art direction and music, space ninja theme in a variety of deadly flavors(stealth to hulk) and rpg elements that hardcore gamers crave. I don't knowk, games tend to all go stale on me after two months so if I at least get that I'm happy and I expect too. Play this game!

    The ONLY downside to this game is that there are a lot of people in the community that like to complain, but if you can get passed that, you get to play a solid, well polished game, that looks more like a triple A game than a indie game.

    On a side note, I find it irritating that this game has a review already, and the only somewhat valid reason this game has a rating is that they are selling in game products, but that is easily shot down when you take into consideration other games being pre-ordered, and green-light games.

    If anything, give this game a try. Decide for yourself by doing a little research at the Warframe wiki while you play. You aren't wasting anything but time since its a F2P.

    I've been playing it for a few months and I love it. The combat is smooth and fast paced and it can easily be single player or co-op. People only dislike it because it repeats the maps but with different doors. With fast paced action and ninja like moves(wall runs, wall slide, wall climb, etc) and a wide selection of craftable weapons, Warframe is a must have

    This is a game that I love, but totally understand why many do not. This is a game that is not for everyone. I am sure people who were fans of MMOs and Diablo will find more to like than other players.

    This is an action based game but it does get repetitive. Unless you are willing to drop some cash on new weapons and Warframes then you will spend a good amount of time either grinding

    This is an action based game but it does get repetitive. Unless you are willing to drop some cash on new weapons and Warframes then you will spend a good amount of time either grinding levels or farming for crafting items.

    One measure of a good free to play for me boils down to one question: Can you unlock everything without spending money? This is true with nearly everything in game.(for the exception of cosmetic upgrades) The real money market is quite pricey though but you can acquire new weapons in a relative short amount of time. Different planets drop different gear, this means you will be jumping around quite a bit from one to the next trying to find the crafting gear you need.

    This game is great fun, but it is not for everyone. If you do not like grinding then you should look somewhere else. If you like Diablo, then you will find a lot to like. (It is the best grinding for level and gear comparison I can make)

    Graphics are great, some levels can feel the same after awhile and they are quite large so there is a learning curve to following the objective marker. When you first start out you will get lost and left behind. Solo missions are good for leveling up, but the game is not well suited for it. Solo you will be faced with almost overwhelming odds, adds a good amount of challenge but can be unfair especially with missions that require you to carry data packages and they take away your primary weapon for half the mission.

    Overall great game. It is still being improved upon and it keeps getting better.

    Warframe is only in beta and yet i still find it worth coming back to for more game play. The devs seem to take care and pride in their product and keep trying to push it forward with improvements and content. Having the ability to be completely free-to-play is a huge plus when its fun enough to drop a little money on the warframe and/or weapons that would fit your desired play style.

    If you like action games, with mixed mechanics, with great combat, with diverse and flexible content, with really interesting quests and story, if you want MMO game for a long run, than I really recommend you to play Warframe, it's a Free to Play, without purchasable DLCs, with Trading system, which easily enables to get every single game element for Free, no matter, it's a character (Frame) or cosmetics, where players are not devided, where you always can play solo or with friends, and always updating with new and interesting content, and what's important for free.

    Warframes is worth a second look. Tha game is vastly improved. Gameplay is fun and fast paced. There is always stuff to do, and with the introduction of Trade this game reminds of of FPS/MMO.

    This is a loot game at heart, as good as any MMO, but it is a over the shoulder shooter. I have to say do not trust the other reviews. Right now this game is actually the best shooter that is available on any platform. Better than Call of Duty and Battlefield. The fact that this game is available on PS4 and is free is just amazing, as it takes advantage of graphics of the PS4 which are just as good as any high end PC. The game is ongoing much like a massively multiplayer gamer, with updates of new warframes and weapons and levels that come out every month or two. The chat interface and trading between players. It has a few bugs, but they were fixed quickly. This game is not a rehash of those although it burrows heavily from many games. The game itself is beautiful and stylish and the developer deserves better review scores so I decided to write them a short review.

    Warframe features space ninja combat suits called Tenno that wage war on ships, planets, and beautiful environments where regular humans would easily die. Let us just say these things are like Samurai/Ninja of the future or Green Berets/Speznaz of today. Warframes or Tenno as they are called are an elite and powerful force but they fight for good, although the game does not explain where they came from in detail. It gives you enough of a background to start. I should mention that they should explain how Mods, and Leveling up works a little bit better in the beginning. This game is deep and does take a while to get into. The interface can be daunting at the start, but jumping into a mission is easy as you go from planet to planet, and you kill enemies and get stronger.

    The game is essentially about collecting loot, such as weapons, warframes, mods (which make you stronger). I've only played this game for about a month, and I must say that I cannot wait to go home and play this. Warframe is so amazing.

    I would love to list all the great features that Warframe has such as a deep damage system, with different damage types against armor, flesh and robotic enemies. The game has some cool nad unique weapons such as ninja stars, glaive, and kunai. It also has the standard weaponry you would expect like flamethrowers, rocket launchers, bows, rifles, shotguns, machine guns. These weapons are so fun to play with they are almost like characters in themselves, as its fun as hell to install Mods, and Forma and Orokin reactors which make your weapons stronger. The weapons game is deep.

    Moving around the environment, you can spring, slide, wall-run, and do some amazing maneuvers just like a Ninja would. Funny as that sounds.

    The models and weapons are well designed. The other reviews did not give this game a proper look. The first time I played this, I was put off as well, and when I picked up this game a few weeks later I slowly started to get into it. This game is simply awesome. Take into account I am placing this game on PS4. And with the last few updates, the reviewers need to take a second look at Warframe.

    The crafting game is deep, yet simple and all the items that cost you Platinum can be acquired in other ways. So people who are broke can get strong in this game too. I myself have craftet the flamethrower called Ignis, and the rocket launcher which has to be charged to fire. But my favorite weapon in Warframe is the SOMA rifle, it has a high amount of crit which can be modded for high critical damage shots. The game has in-game events which give you rewards and can be tackled with a group of friends. They also have void missions with keys which you acquire through different missions like defense. The void missions have extra powerful weapons and warframes which are called Primes and their blue prints can be acquired through running void missions. The recruitment chat is a good place to look for people to team up with for running Void missions.

    They just released a new update today with Oberon Warframe, and new weapons, so I cannot wait to go home and play it. I highly recommend Warframe to anyone!

    Warframe was a fun at first, but after finishing a few planets there is just too much repetition and grinding. I stopped playing the game at Update 7 and started again at Update 12. Now I stopped again after Update 14 because the grind is just insane. I have a total of 394 hours on it. Warframe is just another Pay To Win game. Each update includes many fun weapons and some new additions…

    Currently game is in beta and it is getting huge updates bi-weekly. Despite being in beta, almost all the bugs, glitches and exploits are fixed immediately.

    Some may be put off by rather high cost of cash shop items but it is ENTIRELY optional and this game is NOT pay2win. All the items you can buy with money can be farmed. Only things that can only be obtained through cash is inventory size and purely cosmetic stuff (colour and decorations).

    Do not trust the "critic reviews" as this game is not really released yet and it seems only unknown reviewers have criticized this game. I respect that all the big names are holding their votes till the game is fully released.

    Give this game a shot, it is completely free to make an account and start playing.

There is certainly a pay-to-advance aspect to the game that allows you to double your upgrade slots faster with cash or outright buy equipment to avoid building it. But there are plenty of things in the game you can't buy, like dojo upgrades. On top of all the fun, there is currently some glitchy physics that are outright hilarious sometimes and I hope they honestly never remove them. Namely these are when you pin mobs with railguns and their bodies start freaking out.
    It's a little harder to play solo than with other people and the game certainly emphasizes team play. But even if you're a lone wolf, the public system for teams is decent, albeit a little buggy at times. Lag synchronization between players with latency issues is pretty solid at not disconnecting you usually and most times won't get you killed. But it is still an issue at times and hopefully they can optimize that as more players come in.

    3. Sound, Meh everything more or less gets the job done, though numerous times weapon sounds have been changed to absolutely terrible results, others (very few) are changed to sounding better then before. 7/10
    4. Polish, this is truly where warframe suffers the greatest, a complete lack of polish. Bugs are constantly getting fixed, but with each fix brings twice as many bugs needing to be fixed. Rarely do these bugs break the game at all but when a bug that makes the game hard to play does show up it is usually fixed quite quickly. 6/10
    5. Free-To-Play Elements, While yes everything that can be bought with real money can also be crafted in game, neither way is truly good, Real Money trading is ridiculously overpriced, 15-20 dollars for a gun? Really? And crafting results in depending upon a hilariously intentionally broken RNG system. Now to the dreaded 'alert system' while this function of the game is constantly being tweaked and changed it is still a terrible way to give us things. This game while not to the tune of Play-to-win, micro transactions, it is pay ALOT to not grind and sleep for a change. 6/10
    6. Developers, I dont have much good or bad to say about the developers but lets just say i believe Warframe would be better if another company handled it. 6/10

    While this review may seem pitched towards the negative, i do enjoy the game a great deal and while grinding is a pain at least the game is actually fun to pay while grinding, which relieves much stress in playing it for hours to get something you need. Overall, try the game if your at all interested in it. Lets just hope Digital Extremes figures out how to run Warframe for the long run.

    This game is solid, great mechanics and functionality. Melee isn't as great as it could be, but not enough of an issue to matter much at all. The only downside is the large expense of using the store, the actual, real-life money store, I mean. It's actually completely unnecessary, as everything in the game can be found without buying it, but it can make the game easier in the beginning.This game is solid, great mechanics and functionality.

I've purchased every AAA title in 2013 and none of them have held my attention as much as warframe. The gameplay is easy to pick up, impossible to put down. It's immediate shallow exterior belies a more indepth game which slowly unveils itself. The game would greatly benefit fro decent tutorials on you tube, but the wiki community is very good. For those looking for a coop experience, you'll be hard pressed to find a better game than warframe. Only Left4dead matches it for sheer elegance. It's a so,I'd 9 from this reviewer and a raised eyebrow to some of the scores from so called professional critics who clearly dislike free to play PC games.

    This game is simply great. The problem with the score from the critics, is that they rated this game when it first came out as open beta, not the completed game. Even at this date, the game is till in beta, but is leaps and bounds better then 6 months ago. Give it a try, all it will cost you is a few moments of your time, not money, it is Free to Play.

    It is a four-man squad, third person shooter with, surprisingly, an actually effective melee option and pseudo "magic" elements in the guise of science fiction technology. Parkour is also included.

    It is also a free-to-play game, which means that its business model resides in reliance of players purchasing its local currency in exchange for real money.
    The way purchase of currency is 'forced' is via cosmetic options and for additional slots to house the different weapons and characters available. Otherwise, everything else in the game is available for free.

    Thus it becomes that should one be content in the two Warframe slots and four weapon slots available upon account creation, everything in the game can be obtained free of charge.
    As such, the use of game currency is an option of investing money in order to advance faster rather than invest your time to gain the same for free.

    It may become repetitive and it is grind-heavy.

    It is still early in its development and the developers are very nice and fair, they also listen to the players and hold bi-weekly Q&A live-stream sessions.
    They're slowly ramping up internal studio man-power to extend the development faster and further.

    The game still suffers from some technical issues and the occasional crash, but all in all it has good fidelity and stunning visuals.

    In the end, it is a very fun game and is only getting better as time pass by.
    Given the developer's passion and the enthusiasm of its player base, it seems like the beginning of a beautiful thing.

While some people accuse Warframe of being pay to win, there have only ever been 3 items that effect gameplay that have to be bought, and they are mostly for vanity given that they have minute advantages over their counterparts (these items are all upgrades for existing items), and as soon as you get into mid level gameplay you easily see items better than the aforementioned ones all the time.

    It's unique, fun, and fast paced.

    It has explosions, lasers, and flamethowers.

    Robotic chickens, space zombies, and ninjas. What else could you want? Wall running? We have that....anything else? Ask for it. The development team on this game is the best I've ever worked with (Yes, I say worked with because I've helped build one of the warframes about to be released, as a member of the design council) and they are nothing short of amazing in terms of dedication and commitment to players, with regular updates, livestreams, and activity on the forums.

    Surprisingly decent and fleshed out game for a f2p-action "shooter". However,there are quite a few problems with it right now. (check the review date)

    Cons: Warframe is essentially a mix of shooter and hack and slash ninja melee combat that works quite well....up until you get to the harder levels and get matched up with braindead teammates against bulletsponging enemies. And that's where the main problem of this game (at least right now) is: The matchmaking is absolutely awful. You'll get thrown into running matches,sometimes right at the end of a mission or spawned in the middle of a huge enemy group, often unable to do anything before you get downed. Also,LAG. No dedicated servers. If the host of a match has bad connection, you will suffer from debilitating lag and teleporting enemies. And let me warn you of this right now: Soloplay is extremely hard and often simply impossible due to the spawns of enemies and damage they dish out. If you're downed and you have no teammates, you're instantly dead. You *can* revive yourself 4 times a day, but most missions are simply too hard to tackle solo right now. You *could* do the majority of missions stealthily,but again,the matchmaking strikes. Once you're teamed up with randoms,forget about stealth gameplay. They'll charge right into the enemy you're just creeping up on,raising alarm and ruining your chances of stealth for the rest of the mission.

    Pros: The occasional match is *really* fun,and if you can find decent groups (basically,if you're lucky or have friends you can play with), this game can be an absolute blast. There's different ninja-esque moves that you can pull off like wallrunning,sliding and backflipping,and you can combine these different moves while not losing control over your character. This makes for some awesome moments as the moves feel really fluid and you can shoot while executing them. There's a lot of customization and rpg-elements, each weapon can be leveled and modded and each Warframe (Class) has different abilities and can also be modified. Lots of possibilities with different mod combinations on weapons, but there is a lot of luck and RnG involved. Some mods are really strong and boost your power a lot,but if you don't have luck and find one mod of that kind in a mission,you'll just never get it. Example: I've played with a mate for about 5 days and at one point he found a mod that boosts your shield capacity for 140% (after leveling it up once,he can level it up even further to get even more shield capacity). Shields are crucial for survival as they can be replenished quite quickly with another mod,and 140% shield capacity basically means he can take more than twice as much a pounding. This is a huge upgrade. In the 5 days we've played (about 45 hours) I haven't found this mod once,so I still am a lot more vulnerable than he is. Then again,I have a rifle that freezes,stuns and burns enemies at once and a frost-twohander that shatters and bursts foes into bits,and he didn't get as lucky with the elemental damage mods. The diceroll system is something to keep in mind,you might be craving for an awesome mod which you just wont find for days,and there currently is no other way to get or trade mods other than finding them during missions as enemy drops.

    Customization+ F2P-modell: The selection of Warframes and weapons is decent right now. However, some weapons,warframes and all of the customization options are locked unless you're willing to pay...a LOT. The prices for the ingame currency are horrendous as they are right now. you won't get the majority of Classes and Weapons unless you pay at least 27€. for ONE class. or about 14€ for ONE weapon. A lot of cashmilking going on there,as most of these weapons are simply better than your standard loadout. You can unlock some weapons and even classes without paying,but it takes quite a while,especially the materials you need for the classes will take you weeks of grinding. You'll need to farm bosses for rare blueprints for classes and rare materials to craft those, and each of the three parts required to craft a Warframe ingame requires 3-4 different materials with 1-2 being rare. They then take 12hours and 15000credits (quite a lot) each to craft, and the warframe itself will take 3days and another 25.000 creds to complete. So you're looking at atleast a week of grinding *IF* you're extremely lucky with drops and spend your cash and time on nothing else,and another week of crafting that Warframe (class),which you will then need to level up from zero.

    Summary: If you have a few people you can play with or your annoyance threshold for bad matchmaking and braindead teammates is high, I definetely recommend trying Warframe. However,unless you're willing to pay (a LOT), you won't be getting much diversity. Most missions are prolonged tuberuns,you'll always be following a set path with limited variation. If you enjoy games like Mass Effect,Quake or Ninja Gaiden, give this one a try.

    The AI is pretty good, too. Enemies are trying to take cover most of the time and barely stand out in the open.

Same goes for the warframes, take a Trinity to support your allies, a Loki to do it the assassin's way, or an Ember to throw fireballs on enemies just for the fun. There is a lot of diversity in the weapons and warframes, and as if it wasn't enough, you can customize your weapons or warframes with the mods. The mod system makes you able to have fully advantage of your weapons or warframe by making those fit even more your play style. Also, all the weapons being craftable using the ressources and blueprints you can find while playing, you don't need to waste money on platinum (except if you can't wait a few hours for your weapon to be crafted). The sentinels are also a great thing that can help you a lot in missions, but i think the game is maybe lacking a bit in diversity there with currently 3 sentinels. Talking about the lacks, there isn't so much different enemies, especially for Corpus and Infestation. A few new enemies in each class will be needed in the future. Same goes for the Defense maps, there aren't so much of those currently. Also, having a few new missions for low-levels on Mercury would be nice. So, a bit more content in the next updates would be more than appreciated, and essential before the end of the beta.

    Also, there isn't a pay-to-win system in this game, but more a pay-to-win-faster, as you can get everything except some cosmetics (so, yeah not useful), Warframe slots and Weapons slots by playing, farming ressources, etc... For the Warframe and weapons slots, it's not that much of a problem, since you start with 50 platinum on your account, which is enough for you to buy either :
    - 2 warframe slots
    - 1 warframe slot and 4 weapon slots
    - 6 weapon slots
    And since you start with 2 warframe slots and 8 weapon slots, that isn't much of a problem. 3 warframes and 7-8 weapons should be enough for most of people.

    Graphics :

    The graphics are more than decent. If you want to see what they look like, feel free to search for videos of the game on youtube.
    The only problem is that they might be a bit repetitive, yet, but there is always new things added in patches, so it's becoming less of a problem.

    Conclusion :

    A good F2P that has big chances of becoming a really nice game once finished. Good points being it's gameplay and the fact you don't have to buy things with real money (as in many other f2p games) The main default of the beta being the bugs, but those are getting corrected once the game is finished and that there is a bit more content, it will be more than ok. Also, maybe some changes to the current session hosting system would be nice.

    Rating 5/5 (i took the fact it's still a beta in the notation, else it would have been a 4/5)

    This game is fun with friends, is easy to run on any PC, and has a reasonable currency system. The only reason this game does not have a 10 from me is the fact it is PAINFULLY repetitive. I find myself only able to play maybe 2 hours at a time. If the game could have better variation and a good, well written, story mode, it would have a solid 10.

If you want to know it yourself try the game and don't give bad reviews unless you have the skills to play the game and the idea of the game. Also the fighting is simple, many would say you shoot and "tank" but in reality there is more than just shooting and slicing. I urge you to try the game for at least a week and check out it's mechanics before you criticize because many of the negatives are those who lacks the understanding of this game. Expand

    Can be bit repetitive but the amount of weapons, frames and gear makes it all interesting. The Archwing is brilliant addon to the game, makes the fun of the game doubled.

    The only reason I don't give this a perfect score is because even on my high end gaming PC I experience lag and occassional connection problems. It could be due to it still being in beta so don't take this as a final grade. There isn't really a story as far as I can tell, but the gameplay and graphics are both beautiful.

You could compare this to Left 4 Dead 2 since it's a co-op game; both survival and mission based. Except Warframe has a unique futuristic kick. You're basically a ninja/marine combo, and what I like about this game the most is that a lot of the guns that you could pay to get right away is still usable; but you actually need to work for it, which makes it much more satisfying in my personal opinion. This also goes for the new Warframes (characters who are also known as Tenno) and the interface is easy to figure out. Customization isn't too in depth and of course the best way to make your Warframe look awesome is by spending a little cash for skins and accessories....the company still needs to make money. But most of what I've seen is basically free and the community is always willing to help you with questions. I've never met any **** yet which is also a plus. And it is true that the game is repetitious but it isn't literally the same mission like the "professional" critics say. The game redesigns some of the levels to make it feel different each time; and they've added survival modes and planet infections that allow you to gain a huge amount of money. It's progressing very well and worth a shot indeed. Expand

It's possible to spend lots of time working on getting your Mod loadout just right, and climbing through the ranks is entertaining as well. Combat is traditional shooter gameplay minus explosives (unless you count the Penta, a grenade launcher) and with the addition of melee combat featuring swords, axes, and warhammers. You may also arm yourself with bows, a crossbow, flamethrowers, lasers, throwing knives, and various other weapons. You also can craft or purchase additional Warframes, which function like classes with their own balance of stats and powers. Story is non-existent, with only some minor backstory to explain why you happen to be a space ninja fighting clones, businessmen, and mutants. The game could be improved with social locations such as hub worlds or trading posts, but it manages without just fine. Monetization is the game's most prominent issue, as cash shop currency can be used to buy items instead of crafting them, as well as speeding up the crafting process itself. In short, it's a good game, but you may have a long trek to the top tiers of gear without paying. Expand

    Warframe keeps the momentum going with new updates pretty frequently. The maps are pretty repetitive and the game is still in beta but it's still pretty cool. It has some interesting mechanics which can be improved in later updates. It's still full of bugs and such but it's a good game to try.

Warframe's most appealing factor is its glorious four player co-op gameplay. Players that prefer to tackle the game solo will find that absolute stealth far too often becomes the sole option. It is also a very replayable game, especially with friends. Highly recommended for space ninja zombie enthusiasts. Expand

Most of these flaws can be over looked because bugs aren't game breaking and laggy players could be avoided by joining a friend or clanmate, so overall the game isint quite perfect but pretty damn close.

The turnover rate for updates is super frequent. New weapons once every week or 2, major updates every other month or so.

I've seen many people complain about repetitiveness, which yes, is an issue, but the fun part is playing online with different people, collaborating to find the best way to do a mission, and there IS actually quite a wide variety of missions. Survival, defense, exterminate, void runs, dark sectors, pvp, quests, even a relay for you to just chill and talk some crap with others. The community of players is great; they're very patient with newbies. I'm a MR 6 right now, not advanced enough to be called pro, but not new enough to be called a newbie, but I've been very happy with how the players, especially high-levelled ones, patiently deal with the new guys and even people who still kind of suck like me. Melee combat is really fun especially if you have stance mods on, and combat overall flows very smoothly. One moment you could be wallrunning, then the next hanging on the wall and picking those neat headshots, then rolling on the ground and slicing someone in half... You get the idea. While many people also complain about the lack of a main story(Like me when I just started), I've learnt to accept that warframe doesn't need one. In fact, it's the game's air of mystery surrounding it that makes it fun, and allows you to use your imagination to make things come to life on solo play. But once THAT gets boring, you could always pop over to multiplayer and chat while wreaking havoc on wave after wave of enemies. Many newbies also complain about the apparent pay2win factor of warframe, but in reality, this is one of the few games left that you don't NEED to spend money on to actually get good. This is currently my favourite game, and as far as I'm concerned, this stands proud among some of the huge paid games around. Expand

    - Graphics and sound are great, cool design
    - The movement system.. it's. just. gorgeous. Never seen that in any game and after getting used to it I missed it in many other games like titanfall (which already has a pretty solid movement system)
    - Even if you don't have much time, you can accomplish something since a mission shouldn't take more than 20 minutes (once you get a feel for the movement system, most missions won't take longer than 5, max 10 minutes)
    - Very fair free to play game, nearly every item is obtainable without spending a dime.. even cosmetics (tennogen items not included, those are community made and the creator gets a cut of the revenue DE makes off of them)
    - content for several hundred of hours, easily
    - hundreds of weapons, every one of them with different stats and sounds. Some shoot bullets, others grenades, others are flamethrowers, others are blades with integrated shotguns... with new weapons arriving every few months
    - currently 34 Warframes (a new one already in the oven), not including the primed version
    - primed versions of weapons, warframes, landing craft, mods (slightly better versions of the original versions, mainly for endgame)
    - you can have kubrows (dogs), kavats (cats) and sentinel (flying robot things) that support you in the battle with damage and/or utility; careful! Kubrows and kavats can die if you don't look after it.
    - customization of basically everything is a huge part of the game (colors of warframes, weapons, companion, landing craft, placing objects into your landing craft, etc etc) #fashionframe
    - many different mission types (mobile defense, extermination, spy, interception, hijack, etc)
    - time based events (alerts, sorties, special events like acolytes or plaque star which are available for a couple of days/weeks before they are gone)
    - modding system gives a possibly huge amount of customization on how you want to play a certain weapon (Fire rate, elemtal damage, crit damage, multishot, raw damage, reload speed and many more)
    - 99% of the community. the game is mainly pve so the community is generally really nice and helpful.. ofc you will face a dick every now and then but that's very rare
    - The Developers. Digital Extremes does an amazing job at being transparent about changes and listening to the community (Devstream roughly every 2 weeks). Although they have to decree some stuff every now and then it's generally a good balance and the community is well integrated into the balance process

    The maybe Good, maybe Bad:
    - one of the grindiest games I've personally ever played (I love it but I'm certain many won't)
    - you need to build weapons/warframes in order to use them from blueprints (weapons take usually 24 hours, warframes 72 hours, not counting the part building time which takes 12 hours). Personally I don't find it as bad because there are tons of things to do in warframe and you can always have some stuff waiting in your foundry ready to be claimed but especially in the beginning it's very annoying ("Woooh! Got my first warframe and all the parts! can't wait for that 72 hours waiting time so I can check it out")

    The Bad:
    - it takes a lot more time than usual to get the hang of the game (many different systems that are not explained well.. or at all)
    - wiki of warframe is pretty important if you want to progress. It's a so called wiki game that only really takes off once you use the wiki to gather information the game doesn't offer
    - the starter cosmetic loadout is.. bad.. there are only like 10-20 colors you can pick from, though the cool colors like black, white, pure red etc are locked behind platinum. So unless you have a buddy that may gift it to you, you are stuck with the small amount of colors until you learn how to trade or pay money
    - repetitive gameplay. While I mentioned that warframe has many different gamemodes, usually it looks very similar in most of them.. you either kill as much as you can (exterminate, interception, defense) or you rush to the objective/target and rush to the exit, ignoring all of the enemies (spy, rescue, capture)
    - untouched systems. Warframe has so many systems that some of them aren't really thought through and could see a revisit. Archwing comes to mind but also stuff like Rivens (possibly very powerful mods with random stats) or focus (not going into this because spoiler.. but once there you will know what I mean)
    - invulnerable bosses. The developers seem to love bosses that have invulnerable phases. Even if that means that a boss is 95% of the time invulnerable (hello vay hek). I can see that if everyone is basically an op space ninja they have to do sth to make the bosses somewhat tough.. but that's not the way I would like them to be.. make them tanky af or w/e but invulnerable with tiny spots where you can actually hurt them is definition of tedious gameplay

    100 characters.. gosh I would have mentioned a lot more but I can't :c

    Tl;dr: It's great. Get it!

    Warframe is a shockingly polished free-to-play action game that boasts great visuals, gameplay, and replay value. Unfortunately, grinding and odd design choices bog down the late-game experience.

    Play Warframe. Play it for more than a few hours, preferably with friends, and keep an open mind into doing some third-party research to straighten out some of these systems. Warframe takes so much of what makes ARPG’s addictive, and rounds it out with more polish and depth than most its competitors on the current games market. If the hooks aren’t deeply embedded by then, maybe something this in-depth isn’t for you.
