    Not a bad game. The balance is less, for example, the Warframe, which is bought for platinum (donate currency), will be worse than the Warframe type of Prime (Made of materials). The game requires constant play in it and resource extraction. The graphics are pleasant, but sometimes too saturated. For 2 days you can already walk to Mercury and Mars. I already have 37 hours played. The gameNot a bad game.

    With the many systems and features in Warframe, it has a little bit of everything for everyone. This includes space combat, classic loot-shooter gameplay, pvp, an active trading community, open world areas and a story that I deem better than many modern paid games' stories. The various parts are revealed progressively to ensure new players aren't overwhelmed. Some of these parts don't always fit together perfectly, such as archwing combat, but the developers never stop improving upon these systems or adding new ones through frequent updates. The selection of equipment in Warframe is equally as massive and ever-expanding to suit all playstyles. Officially, Warframe is still in early-access, but still has more content than most games.

    No items in Warframe are off-limits to free players (other than community-made items, which you have to pay for) and can be obtained through enough farming and trading is an effective alternative to obtaining the in-game premium currency, meaning premium items can be obtained by anyone.

    Warframe is a gem that I would recommend to anyone looking for a long-term game to play.    … Expand

    The only rivals are pretty much Destiny and Anthem. These games are basically about the same thing - shooting lots of stuff, get better guns, shoot more stuff. Warframe executes it perfectly. With 6 years of development, it grew way more content than both Destinies and Anthem altogether. You will never log into Warframe and feel like you have nothing to do. There is almost too much to do. I wont even try to list it here, because really, you can write a book about Warframe.
    And of course, all of this crazy amount of content is totally free. "Not very low" price tags of both Desnity (where every expansion cost like the base game) and Anthem make the free-to-play model of Warframe even more appealing. It is a fair model, too. The premium currency can totally be achieved by playing, and using it to buy weapons is sometimes much less efficient than crafting them.
    The game barely has technical problems. Optimization is there, the game doesn't look horrible even on the lowest settings. Plus it only takes 30 GB on your hard drive vs 90 GB for Destiny and 50 GB for Anthem.
    All in all, it is a game everyone should try out. It is so immersive anyone can try to find something to love about it.    … Expand

Some people take one look and immediately say that it is very pay to win because of this time system, however they are going about it wrong entirely from the get go, how it is meant to work is you get in a rotation of always making an item so that you are always getting things; you are usually meant to be worrying about things you get the next day, as you can play and hour or two a day and have no problems. And some people don't have that time, which is why platinum exists; and many players and the devs themselves advise in earning gear instead of buying it as it feels much more rewarding. Biggest problem I see with the game at about 3/4 of the warframes built is the lack of endgame, I don't really see what I should be working towards besides the next big update.… Expand

Digital Extremes is an excellent development team that listens to their users, and the game has rapidly improved over the course of the year with massive, free updates introducing and revamping large swaths of gameplay, turning what was good a year ago into something truly special today. Now, I'm not going to ignore what it does wrong. The game often resorts to heavy grind to extend the life of content, though the situation has been gradually improving, and currently has a lack of endgame content, though the devs have promised that will be changing in the near future. As it stands, though, the base gameplay formula is fun enough that I don't mind the grind, and have continued to not mind it for my 1300 hours played. Highly recommended, though it's best with friend to be sure.… Expand

    The basic point of Warframe, is progression, Not story. This game can't be compared to modern shooters as it's very unique, the closest It comes to is Mass Effect 3's Co-Op mode.

    Like Mass Effect 3, you enter a co-op game with other players are fight AI controlled enemies with all kinds of wild futuristic weapons and powers. But you actually play as the alien race, who are expert ninja-like guys, The gameplay consists of a mix between shooting, slicing and destruction.

    You are given a basic objective like destroying a tank, you fight through the level(Left 4 Dead style) complete the objective, head to the extraction point and that's it. Level over, But as I said, it's about progression, the more you play, the more money you will make to spend on new items, mods etc.

    You get to chose 1 of many "Warframes" and each excels in a certain areas, They each have their own powers and unique abilities and mods.

    You start with a basic Assault Rifle, A basic pistol and a basic ninja sword, they level up as you use them and the higher level they are, the more complex mods they can use, you find mods in levels either dropped by enemies or hidden in the map, they have certain traits like crit chance, damage, magazine size etc. BUT those are just the "common" ones, there are also, "Uncommon" mods which have some incredible abilities for example one mod for the ninja sword can electrify it and make it stun as well as causing more damage.

    The gun physics are not perfect, but it surpasses the quality of Mass Effect's by about 10 times and are addictive to use, rank up and mod.

    nothing in this game though is quite as unique as the melee, which consist's of dismembering ninja swords, right the way to heavy hammers that crush your enemies all with their own mods, abilities and traits.

    Warframe powers are very useful and get better depending on what level your Warframe is, they consist of damage dealing abilities, to healing abilities, to stunning abilities and more!

    Now it's time to look at the business model, If i'm truly honest, the prices for guns can be damn-right unfair, It's takes about 10-15 matches just to get enough to buy a new gun, BUT expected in a F2P, the actual "Real" money purchases are not harsh at all, But ALMOST everything can be bought with in-game funds, so if your dedicated, you can get nearly everything without paying a penny, but there are some cosmetic things that simply can't be bought with in-game money, which is sad, because I would spend money on this game if they weren't so strict with the customization.

    There is also a crafting system where you can use resources you find in game to craft new weapons, this works well, by there will always be this 1 item thats very difficult to find, the game then prompts that you can buy it with real money to make things easier, but you don't have to.

    There are "SOME" aerobic abilities like sliding, wall running and flips, but this hasn't been perfectly refined yet and still needs work!

    By no means is this game pay to win, The developers have been very considerate with what you can actually buy.

    There are a ton of levels to tear through, tons of things to unlock and tons of hours to be spent killing monsters and humans as super-cool-ninja-alien-dudes.

    The game is currently in open beta, There is no Multiplayer as of yet, not sure if the developers are thinking of adding one, but it might fit right at home.

    To make things better just like The Darkness 2, this game is very well optimized, Digital Extremes didn't cheap out at all on this one, Physx support, FOV slider and great performance on most average machines!

    This game is like mixture Mass Effect 3, Diablo, and Vanquish. The shooting mechanics are simple yet not to easy, with a wide range of weapons (Both melee and firearms) it is easy to take down any boss if you are actually good. Weapons are similar to the designs of the real world but still get there own hyper futuristic spin on it. The scenery of the levels are very detailed in what a ship would look like and it helps immerse you into the whole space ninja vibe.

    Currently there are only 6 map types. 3 of which are used for every other mission and the other 3 for defense missions. People complain that its repetitve because of seeing the same levels over and over again. Well its still in beta, the devs are still working on more.

    The sound fits perfectly but one thing i could not get my mind off is that the bosses speak another language but the foot soldiers speak English.

    The mod system is pretty basic and also very entertaining. It upgrades your stats and is also like a trading card game (trade system is said to be coming soon). they also drop randomly from missions and can be put together to enhance another mod.

    The game is called Warframe because of these battle suits. But they are all so different in there own way. The powers they contain (or Skills) are diverse and always help out someway on the battlefield. there are about 13 and all of them can be purchased with real cash or built by buying there blueprints with in-game money. It takes sometime to build these weapons and warframes but if you want to rush the process use real cash to get it anytime you want.

    Lots of people have complaints about the cash parts of the game, with everything thats purchasable with cash can also be gotten within time for free, so those prices are pretty fair (coming from a bargain hunter not a fan)

    this game deserves a 9 but since its in open beta and bound to have problems in some way, ill give it its worthy 10, in full release i will give it an actual review

    You get different warframes which have cool abilities, which you can level up and mix and match (although each frame has 4 unique abilities to set them apart from one another.) Weapons also level and have equipable mods, which allow you to tailor them a bit for different missions.

    There are several different missions styles, from assassinatino, rescuing a hostage and defense missisons (and several more). Most missions you run around epic industrial complexes or giant space ships.

    Pros: Team combat. Challenging, but slow learning curve so it's not hard to get started. Fast paced combat. I have a lot of fun playing this game. It's very stylish. The artwork is quite impressive and you can customize the appearance of your equipment to look really cool.

    Cons: I played the beta, so the UI is buggy and not all that intuitive, but you get used to it. There is still a fairly major problem of randomly falling through the floor, which happens about once every 30 games or so. I sincerely think that they will fix both of these problems by the final release.    … Expand

It's free to play and everything in the game can acquired, with the only limitations being time to get it and how many active weapons/warframes you can own at any one time. A minor investment in the game though ($20) gives you enough coin to unlock a huge garage ready to stock with every warframe in the game and several dozen various weapons. It is well worth the cost if you like a lot of variety and is the only real limitation of the free game. It's a blast to play with friends or just in "online-instant-group" mode.

    Overall, a very fun game. On the plus side, lots of content, lots of weapons/warframes, varied missions, great graphics, and perhaps most importantly a great in game community. Some downsides are, not for people who don't like to grind, bad tutorial that misses a lot of basic things, very hard early game, and can be very laggy depending on the host players internet.

Some downsides are, not for people who don't like to grind, bad tutorial that misses a lot of basic things, very hard early game, and can be very laggy depending on the host players internet.

    Is it a buggy mess? Overall, no. It seems like the game has it's share of glitches some of which are very irritating. The only two I have encountered are when you disconnect the mission map crashes and you have to restart the game. Also, recently I have been unable to claim any of the weapons that I have crafted which has essentially stopped me from moving forward in the game.

    Is it pay to win? No. Spending money on the game mainly saves you time. To be clear, spending money will give you an advantage in the short term, but will generally not make up for a lack of experience and a lack of suitable mods for the things you have bought. Do not expect to pay 60 dollars to unlock all the content in a game. Especially so because the items in the shop are quite expensive in terms of real money. Even in a 60 dollar game not all content is instantly unlocked in game, you have to play to unlock most of it. Furthermore, if you decide to spend money on the game, know that it is money well spent as there are large monthly content updates.

    TL;DR If you enjoy polished PVE grindfests this is a great game for you.    … Expand

However the game helps fix these problems by highly encouraging team play (solo is still great but for a noob you have to be a boss to hack it in higher level missions (being a boss is fun)). And nearly constant updates (on the PC) lead to long term playability and bug fixes.

    Really I think it is both the devs love for this game and the artist talent that is pushing this game into the ground breaking territory. Not to mention the devoted fan base.

    On teamplay: you have to find good people to play with, this is very do-able. You can join a clan, ask on chat, ask on reddit, ask on the forums, etc. The players of this game are for the most part fantastic. However, due to a current lack of a honor point system the best ones are not always the ones you encounter in random mission play, but if you ask for help in chat or elsewhere they be there to lend a hand.

    If space, ninjas, teamplay or killing baddies is not your thing then this game might not be for you... but if it is then you will love this one.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Warframe is a co-op third person shooter, with 'pretty' simple objectives and quite repetitive levels.
    But, this is a free to play game that is still being worked on, and I personally find it very addictive, having reached the 500 hour mark on steam, and thus excluding the non-steam version.
    In short, this game is about you, a super awesome space-ninja, and you have to kill all the enemies in the galaxy, and this was the entire game 2 years ago, but now there are way more thing to do, like jettpack space-battle and clans to join.
    And yes, this game is easier when you pay for weapons and new warframes, this game is really awesome free of charge.

While a bit overwhelming at first a strong community will help guide you to greatness, as you travel the solar system upgrading your loot and slice-shooting the absolute F@$@ out of the enemies you encounter. It's free to play with paying acting as a luxury for immediate satisfaction (Rush the building of a project) or for cosmetics (Purdy). The downside is the limited amount of slots. Purchasing slots may drive you off but the in game currency is freely traded for items in game. All in all the game is addictive with elements of a mobile game (Get parts, build, wait til completion) and a triple AAA action shooter (Parkour down the hall, spin slice the head off of five baddies, slide while firing into the crotch of moar baddies). With hundreds of guns, pistols, swords, and more the game offers a lot. This isn't even including the vast selection of Warframes themselves. The alien-esque tech wielded by you the player is gained in game via farming bosses, quests and events, no cash needed (unless again you want immediate satisfaction in which case prepare to buy yourself out of a game!). The vast selection of different frames promises a style for any player.

    I give this game a 8 out of 10.

    The bad sides are that the quests can be mind blowing in their wait time. The anticipation of proceeding with the quest is stopped abruptly by the need to wait for a part to finish being crafted (12 hours wut).

    The second bad is that the game can tire you out if you binge on it. You can only run certain missions 100 times before wanting to take a break! RNGESUS is real y'all. Praise the L00t!

    The Good?

    Great graphics, this game is beautiful and can run on even the most dated system (within reason).

    Fun story with lots of mystery unfolding through each update.

    Modifications to truly make some beastly weapons, a reason to go out and gather resources, everything you do is very purposeful.

    Style... this game has it. In Loads.

    Warframe hits a very appealing concept. Space Ninjas, running on walls and sliding and slashing away at Aliens, zombie-like creatures, and robots. A concept no doubt many of us have though of as children, visualized in a very cool, and ambitious way. But how does the game itself fair? Well, it depends on the point of view honestly. I came into the game knowing very little about it and soWarframe hits a very appealing concept. Space Ninjas, running on walls and sliding and slashing away at Aliens, zombie-like creatures, and robots. A concept no doubt many of us have though of as children, visualized in a very cool, and ambitious way. But how does the game itself fair? Well, it depends on the point of view honestly. I came into the game knowing very little about it and so my expectations weren't set high by any means. But what I got, was a visual treat with some fast but smooth gameplay.

    Graphics: This folks, is what the next generation looks like. Everything from insane lighting, amazing particle effects, and fantastic textures. The game is truly awesome to look at. Which is a good thing because one of the faults the game bears is reputation in environments. The game boasts a Random Level Generator to ensure gameplay is varied, but it is not uncommon to see the same room in the same mission, over, and over again. While most of the scenery consists of tight corridors and semi-large rooms, it can become a little redundant after just a few hours of playing.

    Gameplay: The gameplay is extremely fluent and easy to use. Whether you are going down sights with a sniper, blasting away with one of the many assault riffles, silently picking off foes at a distance using the tactical bow, or getting nitty and gritty with the crowd as you slash, hack, or smash with one of the dozen or more melee weapons. It all happens without missing a beat and with very, very minimal lag. At the core of every great third person action game has to be solid controls, and this game nails it. Making even more complicated maneuvers, such as running on a wall, flipping off of it, spinning in the air and slamming down onto the ground possible with just a few presses of a button, making it a welcoming experience for newcomers.

    Story: The game has very little to offer in the ways of a story as where the main goal of the game is to team up with 3 or less friends and take on "Space Dungeons" killing everything in your way as you ransack the ship for loot and money. In fact most of the story is told in the Tutorial. Does this make the game bad? Not at all, just as long as you don't go into the game expecting an epic single-player story.

    Free to Play: The game is, by definition, free to play. Nearly every feature in the game is available to the player without the use of microtransactions. As long as you don't mind spending Hours upon Hours of grinding to get the parts you need to build your new toys. That being said, if you do choose to use real money to push your way up to the front and buy a new Warframe (playable character) or weapon, or countless other items, just know that the in-game store is one of the most expensive out there. For example, buying a new Warframe can run you anywhere from $10-$25 depending on the chosen Warframe and whether or not it has any sales. But remember, that is merely an option. It is possible to unlock EVERY Warframe without the use of real cash.

    Overall: I personally enjoy playing this game, I have spend well over 70+ hours on it, and don't plan on quitting any time soon. In my opinion this game sets a new standard for Free to Play games, showing what can be done and should be done. With the amazing graphics, silky smooth gameplay, and kickass action. With only a few minor gripes being an expensive in-game store that doesn't Need to be used, and the repetition of layouts and levels. But do keep in mind this game is still technically in Beta. So considering all it gives with very little draw back, it would be really hard to pass this game up for any reason. So that is why I rated this game a solid 9.0.

Warframe proves me wrong.

    In this game, the tedious amount of farming required to earn an item you really want to craft is just unbelievable! Although I didn't mind farming the other 50+ hours for some little things, I was completely enraged when I realized I spent around 10 hours trying to get a single blueprint part for a warframe ( a full warframe is made of: systems blueprint, a helmet blueprint, chassis blueprint, warframe blueprint and a random material). But in the end I did find the part that I needed, however I gave up trying once I traded for another part and couldn't find any more parts.
    In Warframe, there's two currencies, Credits and Platinum. You can get credits for just playing the game, but can also get platinum as a daily reward (around 20). Every player starts with 50 plat. You could pay for nearly anything in the game using platinum, including more slots for warframes or weapons, speeding up items that are being built, and use it to trade. A daily reward is also a coupon that can even give you -75% the normal price of platinum, so you could buy the most amount of platinum (3000 if I remember correctly) for only around 100 of whatever currency you use (WAY less than half price!). So you can go the easy route and pay your way to the games core, or just get free stuff as you go along, which is one of the best things I've ever seen in a game!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly i think this game does deserve a perfect score, and yes, i'm aware it has bugs and some problems but at the rate of which there are hotfixes and patches i find they are easily forgettable. The high point of this game for me and i'm sure many others is how polished, badass and fluent the movement looks on most surfaces (wall running transitions could use some work). Also the amount of content they are releasing is phenomenal and even if that one piece of gear you want requires Platinum (the microtransaction currency) there's now a feature that allows you to sell your "mods" or upgrades to other players for Platinum if they're willing. Now i know that a big thing people are complaining about is how forging something in the Foundry can take anywhere up to 3 days to make, but from my perspective it's so well made that even when i'm waiting for my epic weapon or Warframe to be completed, it gives me time to go gather materials for the next project or even just leveling up my current gear. Now if this were some hyped up retail game i might not have been so generous with the rating, but it's not, the amount of green that left my wallet for this masterpiece was ZERO and has remained the same despite my 130 hours played.… Expand

    You cannot comment about storyline as it isn’t implemented yet, let’s not discuss it.

    You cannot comment about repetitive zones as we only have a handful so far, the zones are constantly expanded and new ones are always on their way. Let’s not discuss repetitive zones. The same goes for enemies, weapons, equipment and mods.

    I guess the only thing that is beneficial to discuss is how well the Beta itself is running, so here we go.

    The game has bugs as it’s in Beta, as they are found they are fixed in updates. The updates are very often and they don’t require massive down times like Wow or Diablo 3. Every update I’ve seen whilst playing hasn’t even needed me to log off while it’s occurring. New content is being delivered at a crazy rate, every two weeks at the most we’ve received new content which is fantastic.

    The servers have been extremely stable (in fact, so is the engine). I haven’t had a crash or disconnect since I started playing. These days I don’t even expect this from a finished product let alone a Beta.
    The game runs peer-to-peer so even when the host disconnects it will automatically transfer to another player.

    All the content that you NEED to play can be unlocked via playing. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make it harder to obtain items this way as it’s extremely easy. I don’t mind individual items costing high amounts or real life cash (for example the most expensive warframe is the Ash for 225 platinum, at the worst conversion is $15). I’ll only be spending cash simply so Digital Extremes can eat, otherwise I can just unlock any items I want in game. Using the same example, I decided I wanted the Ash, farmed the materials in one night (from what I hear I’m slightly lucky) then built it over 3.5 days.

    The only items you cannot unlock via playing are expanded colour palettes for customising your look (75 platinum for about 30 or so shades, I’d need to log into the game to check how many you get), inventory slots for weapons (12 platinum for two) and warframes(suits) (20 platinum each). If you buy Platinum at the most expensive conversion ($5 for 75 plat) you can see that it’s not that bad.

    All-in-all I am incredibly happy with this Beta and have only seen one other Beta of this quality which is Path of Exile.

    Now I just hope Metacritic wipe all these PREVIEWS when the game goes live. I would hate to see people skip this game simply because of a flawed site like Metacritic.    … Expand

The combat is similar to any 3rd person shooter but closest to Mass Effect 3's multiplayer. The leveling system is very detailed as well as crafting new suits of armor or weapons. A newly added clan feature to build dojos was also added where players can work together to research new technology as well as participate in friendly pvp matches. Combat and wall runs/parkour are very solid and handle smoothly. The game is completely free to play and all content can be accessed with in game currency with the exception of some cosmetic options. I highly recommend to both 3rd person shooter fans as well as those who enjoy a strong cooperative RPG or 'skilled' mmo experience.

    I have over 200 hours in this game, and I'm giving it an 8. The game is far from perfect, but I've been playing it since beta and it has come a LONG way.

    I just want to start off with something that every negative review has done to mislead you, this game's reviews are shallow and misleading. Buying items straight up in this game is expensive yes, but here is what no one has told you.    I have over 200 hours in this game, and I'm giving it an 8. The game is far from perfect, but I've been playing it since beta and it has come a LONG way.

    I just want to start off with something that every negative review has done to mislead you, this game's reviews are shallow and misleading. Buying items straight up in this game is expensive yes, but here is what no one has told you. 1) you get store discounts as DAILY REWARDS that range from 20% 75% off all real money purchases. These are rewards that increase in value for each consecutive day you log in. 2) There is NO I repeat NO in-game item that can't be obtained through crafting (which requires no real money). You will get everything you need just by playing the game, you can simply buy the blueprints in the shop for in-game credits. I have almost every warframe in the game and over half the weapons (including the clan tech ones that can't be bought, only built in the clan dojo) in the game. I also have all of the sentinels. I didn't pay for ANYTHING. I paid $15 for a $30 platinum pack when I got a 50% discount, and I used that to get a bunch of color packs, upgrades, and everything else I needed. So basically, I paid $15 for 200 hours of playing. That's a damn fine deal if you ask me.

    All the issues the game had in beta with bad menus and glitches and lag are pretty much non-existent now. They finally got the level system evened out, so that difficult enemies are more common. The defense and survival missions are more difficult, and are a lot of fun to do with friends as these missions only end when you decide it's too difficult to continue. They give you the option to risk everything for 5 more minutes of rewards, or take what you've earned and leave. The combat is fun, and changes drastically with each new weapon or warframe you unlock. Updates have all come with big changes and lots of content. All the missions that aren't survival, boss, or defense feel very samey, but you don't have to do those missions for anything other than map progression. There's also special maps that you unlock through keys you find. All the bosses that are left over from beta (about half of them) are totally boring and uninteresting bullet sponges. The other half are challenging, cinematic, and for the most part, epic. Getting all of the mods and unlocks to maximize your weapon's potential require you to explore orokin derelict, nightmare missions, alert missions, and the void. The mission variety is actually impressive, it's the lack of enemy variety that hides it. Clans are now accessible and dojos can be built by anyone. I started a clan with just a few friends and our dojo is huge, and it adds some personality to the game. They've added some pvp, there are special events nearly every weekend, and the number of mods in the game has increased greatly. Damage 2.0 added another level of strategy to weapon builds, as now each different damage type has unique on-hit effects (stuns, bleeds, AOE's, debuffs, etc) and you can even combine mods for hybrid damage types. They added a huge amount of lore to the game, and reward you for scanning enemies by giving you bonus exp and telling you what damage types each enemy is weakest to and even telling you what their drop table is, enabling you to hunt for mods with more efficiency.

    The movement and graphics in the game are awesome. It's well-optimized for low-end machines as well (I can run it on medium settings with just my APU). The enemies in the game all offer samey challenges, it gets grindy for sure, but it's all for unlocking new weapons and warframes. Every item unlock you get breathes freshness into the game as there is such a great variety of functionality. Therefore unlocking new items is the driving force of the game. It's tantalizing when your friend unlocks some new weapon that looks amazing and now you have to get it for yourself!

    Lastly, I did not put 200 hours into this game in one sitting. This is a great game that you can play for a bit, get into other stuff, and then come back later to find new events and items and content waiting to be unlocked. The developers have been very dedicated to adding content throughout the entire project and I think their work deserves more credit.

    So yes, there is a lot of grinding ahead, and there are serious balance issues that you won't notice because it's almost entirely coop. Lastly the great mission variety is obscured by a lack of enemy variety. Those are really the only things that keep this from being a 10, but the game's issues have been over-represented in most of the reviews. For the cost of entry, you don't have the excuse as a gamer to not check this out and decide for yourself.    … Expand

    Warframe may not be the perfect game, but seriously no game can, so admire what this game has to offer.

    I've played this game since the first week of it's release so I seen it grow and improve, constatly having new updates with these new weapons, locations, tile sets, ui, you get the point. I didn't play Warframe to hear a story... I came to be a space ninja with guns.

    The only major problem (my opinion) for me that is, that it's really repetitive like not even the updates would make me feel like I should keep playing since the whole formula is just going to go out like this: Mastery level grinding, and Farming for parts or mods. Now I've played the game for about 500 hours which is dam impressive in my case which is why I'm not going to quit on it.

    The grahpics are stunning even on the lowest settings (my opinion). Every gun is different and unique which brings me to the, I don't want to sell them, including the Warframes, It's so great to see massive amounts of enemies die by them. The clan system is good I'm just to lazy to go over it, ahh never mind, you can make get new weapons, 1v1 pvp, a speed test, you could decorate the dojo if you got the permission to, alot of neat stuff.

    Conclave the 2nd only way to fight against another player in 2vs2 combat, heres a known tip just upgrade one weapon max (best stuff) if your on the low conclave matches (easy one hit kill on lol), since they try to balance it out by the rank of your mods, weapon, warframe, sentinel. If you have to much or to little you can't join, well it won't be unbalanced if your opponent is a strong frame, still fun I like I just don't do it since you can't grind or farm that way.

    Now I know a lot of the reviews say that it’s repetitive with the missions being the same again and again but it’s not, the missions share rooms but are randomly generated giving a different experience each time.
    The graphics are very nice and work well with the style of the game; however it may cause trouble with the lower systems although optimizations are on the list to be changed.
    There is a nice amount of customisation in the game between the different weapons you can use, primary, secondary and melee. These weapons can be personalized with mods that can be acquired as random drops throughout missions, giving the player a wide range of modifications available to them.
    This game also has crafting which allows you to craft any weapon or warframe in the game as long as you have the correct blueprint which can be bought from the in-game shop or found as a rare reward. Yes, in-game shop. The shop allows the player to buy weapons, equipment, warframes and blueprints using in-game money OR ‘premium’ (Bought Cash). This game is powered by in-game transactions however it does not make it a Pay-To-Win game, as stated before you can craft anything in the game aside from visual add-ons.
    Overall I think this game has potential and I enjoy playing it, solo and with friends. I give Warframe a rating of 8/10 as I think there are a few improvements that need to be done but on the whole a really good game.    … Expand

    and now for some pro vs cons

    -pro

    this game has a nice "feel" in its playstyle, it reminds us alot of other games, like assasin's creed or prince of persia, sure the manoeuvres are hard to perform at times, but mastering them offers an advanteage on several maps, like shortcuts, a way out of a troop of enemies, secret loot stashes, the game also offers a wide variety of weapons, eventough as in every game there are the "favorites", they mostly require a bit of dedication to obtain, forcing players to master several other to unlock them, the crafting system might require some improvement, mainly concerning the high demand of some materials in several crafts (think rubedo for warframes), along with a considerable waiting time of 12h -3 days to finally get your item, although i understand it might bother some people, i personally favor this system, forcing people to be patient, slowing them down in order to take their time instead of directly unlocking every single item in the game.
    as for the graphics, for a free to play game, they are pretty much excellent, eventough some more polishing couldn t hurt when it comes to the models, for that i ll have to compare them to shoot mania (not a free to play game, but with a similar kind of model when it comes to characters) for the background graphics, we are mainly confronted to 3 types of layouts, cavern, outside ice planet, and spaceship, all of them look great, however some diversity in the future is expected (fire planet, desert landscape, etc...)
    on the side of the soundtrack, i am split, the gun sounds works well, altough maybe a tad loud by default, the ambiance music is fitting to give you the impression of an infiltration scenario, but considering the very hyperactive playstyle, constantly runing and jumping and crouching and sliding, something a bit more "adrenaline enducing" might be more appropriate. On the voice acting again, my opinion is split, on one side the lovely Lotus, who is constantly warning you of what is happening around, when you get spoted, warning you for incomming patrols or strong enemies, and also telling you about the Lore behind each boss during the Assasination missions, with a variety of different scripts so that we don t get bored by always hearing the same exact speech, on another hand, the enemie's voices need work, i understand they tried to go for the cryptic broken-coded-robotic voice, and eventough with time we manage to understand what the enemies are saying (and then again, some quotes remain pure gibberish), it is mostly annoying to have the feeling that a bunch of Predator ladies are having an eternal chat on the same frequency as your radio

    -cons

    i believe that everyone shall agree that the cash shop's price in this game are pretty much insane, however, exept for some purely cosmetic choises (like color palettes or accessories to decorate your sentinel pets) you have no need for platinums, sure you might wish that you had them to directly buy that weapon or warframe you want, or to skip the crafting time of a certain item, but considering the fact that all the items are accessible ingame, using platinium to skip and get the "good stuff" directly kinda goes against the general idea, wich is that this game is about the journey, not the destination, what is the point of getting everything right away, what are you gonna do after having to fight to get what we want is the main motivation in the game.
    having said that, there is ONE aspect on wich platinium can make a huge difference, and that aspect is your inventory space, the inventory at the start of the game is EXTREMELY limited, with only 2 Warframe slots, and 6 weapon slots, of course you can use the 50 platiniums that you get for free when you start the game to add some more slots, but even so, it does limit the players extremely, and it is an aspect upon wich the developers MUST look into for the good of this game's future.

    So to sum it all up, this game is definitely worth taking a look into, mostly recommended for those who got patience, and is most definitely full of potential, if the developers continue on the path they have taken and keep on the current rythm of work, it could very quickly become a masterpiece... and all that for free.    … Expand

But I do admit, although It is free to play you still can spend money on in game items It is too expensive to be reasonable, but this problem is not that big because, although it is sometimes really hard, you can just use in game money to get most of the items in the market.

    And There is a large difficulty spike from when you play online which is a cake walk, to playing solo which Can be seemingly impossible. The game is meant to be played online, especially with friends, which makes it a lot more fun. It has a large variety of "classes" called warframes each with their own abilities that can help a lot for the odds of the fight. The character customization is fairly limited to colors especially if you are not willing to pay money to unlock more than the tiny variety of colors you start off with.

    The levels can tend to be very repetitive, even though each planet has their own designs And that their is a random level generator, because the rooms it uses are fairly limited and you will come across the same room a lot of times. You can also have clans and build your own "dojo" (homebase) for that clan, with elevators, hallways, generators, research labs, barracks, etc.. Which I find to be a neat feature and found myself making my own clan just so that I could build my own dojo!

    I have had a lot of fun with this game and still am, being free to play and in open beta i could recommend this game to anyone who likes third person shooters with parkour mechanics and a fair amount of action!    … Expand

    Decent array of mission types and settings
    Actually useful pets
    Great customization of characters and weapons (attribute wise)

    If you do decide to pay for it...be ready to pay a lot for not getting a whole lot in return
    Enemy variety rather limited
    The randomly generated themed missions don't have enough tiles so repetition is apparent

    The Platinum system (cash for fake cash) is over priced, but almost everything can be acquired through the game. Plus there is a log in reward system that give you the chance to pay for platinum from 25% off to 75%. The company needs to make money some how.
    The game play is exciting... well for a game that's free to play. It's a third person shooter, with some element of parkour. It's not Assassin's creed and it had never tried to aspire to be. The style is unique in man factors, enough so to say; this game is not trying to be like any other type of game.
    The Environment is repetitive, and unless they update it, no one will disagree.
    My favorite thing about this game is... bare with me. the guys behind the scenes. I would hardly call them greedy, and how on earth can they be called fascist; that doesn't even make sense. They general check there forums and do as the people want, there that way. For example, there was an over powered weapon in the game "Kunia" that they wanted to Nerf, but all the gamers loved it so they kept it. this isn't the only situation that they've listened to the gamers. They care about the gamers more then I can say for any other game.
    They've been composing many updates to the game to improve it like the main campaign. which is why it is still considered a Beta. They're even trying to make the environment more diverse. this game, still enthralling, will be even better and better
    I think it would be fair for you to try it before deciding, "hmmm... do love this game, dislike it, maybe even loathe it, or maybe it just bores me." It is a free game, so give it a shot. please don't loath to do this.    … Expand

    I recommend joining the game every day. You get a reward for it. The ideal is to dial a 75% sale on the purchase of a premium currency exchange and 1000 and get 12 euro. Which parts at a price of 10 and the most expensive 375 characters is a good price. In addition, you will support the creator.

    The style of fighting is then up to you. Would you like guns? Take shotguns, machine guns. Would you like a cool yet firearm? Bow, crossbow. It also can be found. Dozens of different weapons to ensure that you find your own style. Each part, from the characters to "guardian", has the opportunity to improve through mods (you can get it in fights) and leveling up each other.

    The game itself may get bored after a while. Many of the battlefield are much alike. But a quick fight, interesting characters, and weapons will certainly make up for it. Creators recently added a kind of campaign, where you can get wings for flight in space or their own protector on the road of death. For myself, I highly recommend.

    while they arnt very imaginative with the levels meaning they use the same ones over and over it just doesn't seem to bother me in the slightest, because the levels are HUGE and different routes are used each time and who cares about maps when your have stupidly fun war frames at your disposal.

    the biggest problem i have with this game is the bosses, they are incredibly boring they are just reused skins or normal enemy made into bullet sponges very similar to borderlands (there are some exceptions to this and they are pretty cool but the majority complies with what i just said).

    the enemas are also quite boring at low levels and are just cannon fodder but as you get to tougher levels tactics are needed to beat them because they can easily over whelm or use an ability on you

But Warframe is quite different and unique: the core gameplay is very dynamic fast paced action combining 3rd person shooter, melee fighting and magic-like abilities everything is realtime, fast, and requires some skill from a player. You go on various missions in up to 4 player teams to combat hordes of enemies that can rise in numbers and levels quickly providing you as much challenge as you can take.
    The movement in this game is also great: you can do many trick jumps, run on wals and almost fly around if you know what you are doing. There is even stealth which is fun and useful if you want to play solo.
    Now the addictive part is of course acquiring new weapons, classes (warframes) and rare mods that augument weapons and warframes. And believe me, there are so many things to get and to level up, some are hidden quite deep. There is quite a lot of grinding, but the process itself fun because the challenge escalates fast.
    The game is honest free2play and you can unlock everything but if you want to keep everything you will have to buy inventory slots with platinum (which is bought for real money or traded for rare mods between players, so you don't really need to spend a dime if you are willing to grind).
    The downside: it doesn't have a huge overworld that you can walk around and explore, like most other MMOs, just individual missions. Some things are still being polished and improved. Needs more variety in environments and missions.
    The game is mostly PvE focused, there is PvP but its still in ongoing development.

I didn't think much of it at the time because it looked like a simple brawler. I began playing a lot in update 9 and got hooked. People have been criticizing this game for being Pay to Win (PtW), but in reality that is far from the truth. What you don't see in these other reviews is patience. They would rather spend a bunch of money to get all of the content immediately, leaving all of their experience in repeating missions. The people that do this don't just sit down and enjoy all the aspects. they just want the good stuff fast. The game has a market where you can either but weapons and warframes using either platinum (Currency purchased with real money), or credits (money earned in game). Using credits, the player buys the blueprint of the specific item that they want. After purchasing the blueprint, the player then goes to the forge in the main menu to craft that item using credits and resources found in missions. After acquiring all the necessary resources for the blue print, the player then hits the craft button and waits for the item to finish. The amount of time it takes to craft an item varies by what the item is. All weapons typically take 12-24 hours to craft. If you don't want to wait that long, you can rush the process using platinum. I kinda like this system because it gives me an excuse to take a break after playing for a few hours.

    Warframes are basically suits that have different abilities for every unique warframe. The embers fire based attacks are devastating to light weight targets. Loki hides in the shadows to take out his enemies without being noticed. Necros raises the dead. There are a lot more warframes. In order to get these you have to kill certain in-game bosses to acquire parts of the warframes. Each warframe has three parts (helmet, chassis, and systems). Once you have acquired the pieces (I forgot to mention that the parts drop as blueprints), you craft them in the forge. Each piece takes 12 hours, but don't worry you can craft them all separately and at the same time. once all of the pieces are crafted, you then buy the warframe blueprint off the market and craft it in the forge. Every warframe takes 3 days to craft. Now this is where some people have an issue. Many don't want to wait that long. that's where people start to go onto the market and buy everything with platinum. If you want to do that then go ahead, but don't give this game a bad review because you're impatient.

    Prime weapons and warframes are more powerful, harder to get versions of their normal counterparts. The blueprints are found in the orokin void (accessed by keys that are found in defense missions as rewards). People that are new to the game don't know about it. So when they see things like the founders pack (no longer available), and prime access, they automatically jump to PtW. All prime warframes and weapons can be found with a lot of effort in the void.

    Im not saying the developers haven't made mistakes in the development of this game. there are a lot of things that are not explained. First off there is the use of the forge. When I first started the game gave me a very small tutorial on how to use it and I was left confused. I don't know if it has changed since update 8, but im willing to bet they have made some improvements. or I could be wrong about that one. Another thing they don't explain much is the lore. I have been playing for almost 8 months and all I know is the grineer are taking over the solar system and only the tenno (you) can stop them. then there is the greedy courpus (forgot spelling) and the infested. They are trying to change this with the new codex system they just implemented.
    Once final criticism is the recycling of missions. The missions are never the exact same. the game has a set amount of rooms it can work with. Its hard to explain but here we go. basically when you walk into a room there is a 99% percent chance you have been in that room before. That happens because the game generates missions with the same rooms, just in a different order. So you recognize everything, but its still not the same. For example. In a corpus mission you enter a hanger, you walk all the way through and enter a huge hallway. replay the mission! You may find that hanger and hallway again, but they wont be right next to each other again. In fact, one may not be in the mission at all or there may be a few rooms in between those two rooms. So one can argue that it is repetitive in nature but then again its not exactly the same every time.

    There are plenty of enemies to fight and with the new damage system, there are plenty of ways to build your character to kill the enemies. There are a lot of weapons and warframes to chooses from so you wont get board, unless you buy all of them. I've exhausted my typing space...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The kind of progress that Warframe proposes for a grinding game have really good points. First, you will find/buy/craft items that gain experience with you to a cap. Once these objects are maxed (And it doesn't take too long), you are incited to try a new one (Since the object doesn't grant you any XP) or reset the object's skill to zero, but the object become a little better in the process (but still lost his level). This process have a advantage that I value greatly : If you plays for some time and you want to introduce a friend to the game or you plays more or less than a friend and you don't want to wait for each other, you can, without running one or the other : if your friend is weaker, you can use lower rank items to keep the challenge at a nice level and still earn rewards without penalty. The gameplay stays mostly the same but once you get bored of a weapon, the game-flow gives you the opportuniy to change, as the normal course of play.

    About the paid features, in my opinion, you can get a lot for your money (especially if you wait for an in-game discount). I think that items like warframes and weapons (that can be obtained without real money) costs a lot. But many cosmetics, very useful consumables (Like formas,catalysts and reactors) are really at a reasonable price.

    The updates are coming at an incredible rate. The game art style is, in my opinion, beautiful and original.
    Another really nice feature is Clans (Guilds) which can have Dojos (A buildable and customisable HQ for your clan). The price of dojo's items (like rooms and item researches) scale with the clan's size. It means a group of 4 active players can create it's own dojo and make it as nice as a large 100's occasionally-active members clan.

    The only real problem I can think of is the ressources. When you start the game, it takes a painful moment before you can gather enough materials to craft your first 'not starter' weapon (or warframe). They remade the new player tutorial to give them at least a choice in starter weapons, which is nice. But later on, I fell that some ressources drop far more than what you need of them and others are on so precise locations that you are actually doing the mission only for the hope to find these mats, which may be the most annoying form of grind since you don't have a choice about how you want to spend your time to obtain it. Some ressources offers a level of choice, but other don't.    … Expand

    -Lots of build/customization options. Eventually you find a warframe or two you really like and you stick with them.
    -Lots of satisfaction. When you finally build that frame or weapon you've farmed hours for, you can't wait to dig in.
    -Beautiful art direction/hella cool and original setting.
    -Sick graphics. A few graphical glitches here and there and a few players some of the models look a bit ugly (cough Trinity cough cough), but that's just like, your opinion, man.
    -Great character design; you don't see much of the story characters aside from the occasional cutscene and HUD display, but the voice acting is top-notch and really gets you immersed.
    -Fantastic player base, old players are always there to help newbies and give tips and tricks. And the squad camaraderie is strong in this game; I've seen people go across entire maps in 15 seconds to revive someone, just 'cause they feel like being nice.
    -Best of all, the developers are constantly on-point. I've never seen a dev team in a game so dedicated. There's updates every month at least, and it's not just a bugfix or something small, it's f**king huge, typically a whole new frame, some sort of new gameplay mechanic (syndicate factions being the most recent) and 2-3 new weapons and maps.

    Now for the bad stuff:

    -Some minor glitches. Nothing really game-breaking, but you'll occasionally get stuck somewhere and it's annoying, or you won't switch weapons and it's annoying, or an ability won't work right. But these are pretty rare, the game itself feels very fluid and polished.
    -A few tilesets are really awful. For example, there's an infested tileset that takes place in a crashed ship, so it's at a slant. While this looks cool af, it's a pain on your eyes and it's hard to navigate at times.
    -Grind, grind, grind. The whole game is a grind. The purpose of Warframe is literally to play the same levels over and over until you get better gear, then playing harder levels over and over. Fortunately, there is some tileset variation to make this a bit easier, and sometimes it's just therapeutic to slice through legions of enemies, but it can still get boring sometimes.
    -Enemies have really bad AI. They're just not smart. Which is OK because you're supposed to kill them en masse, but at the same time it detracts from the experience a bit.
    -Not many enemy types. It can get dull seeing the same Grineer marine over and over and over. The devs are working on adding new enemies however--many enemies are currently placeholders for unique models.
    -Some frames and weapons are better than others, and you'll see them a lot more. Seems like people are using Rhino and/or Boltor Prime in every damn mission. TBH this is almost a plus, because I like being a speshul snowflake and using weapons and frames nobody likes.
    -In-game currency prices are ridiculous. Seriously. But this game is not buy-to-win, it's buy-to-not-grind. Most Platinum is spent on cosmetic options that don't add to gameplay. The one drawback I have is that for a frame or weapon to be most effective, you have to install an Orokin catalyst or reactor, which are extremely difficult to get without spending platinum. I think that's pretty lame.

    Overall, I'm giving it an 8/10. Needs work and a bit more polish and level variation, but honestly it's the most enjoyable free game I've played on the Steam market. Definitely worth the download. You'll have a lot of fun, and it's still (somewhat) early access, having only been out for ~a year and a half.    … Expand

    "Repetitive" is a common complaint for Warframe, and there is truth to it. Thankfully it has a wonderful combation of flash and attitude that keeps me coming back, not to mention regular content updates.

    Warframe has what I consider to be the best free-to-play economy in the gaming industry, one that doesn't leave you in the dust if you're unwilling to shell out hundreds of $$$.

    "the good outweighs the bad"

    warframe might start as a 10 star game for many. good shooting and slashing mechanics, cool visuals, awesome sound! you will not believe that this game is free. but as we progress, some will start encountering questionable design decisions. many systems are more convoluted than they should be, or just not awfully player friendly, and too drawn out. also,    "the good outweighs the bad"

    but as we progress, some will start encountering questionable design decisions. many systems are more convoluted than they should be, or just not awfully player friendly, and too drawn out. also, who can ignore the countless bugs that always comes and goes with every updates.

    but the helpful side of the community are always helpful, and Digital Extreme's community division are really doing their homework establishing connection with fans. other than that, the monetization in this game is gotta be one of the fairest i have seen so far.

    in the end, people who can accept that warfame is an indie beta free to play game, might agree that it's a damn good one.    … Expand

    First off it looks and runs great/smooth. I was very pleased when I started this game up and I still am. The art direction/style is beautiful. I really dig the universe this team has created. The level design is good, there are a lot of recycled rooms but i think thats due to the rather large levels. The maps texturing does not match the quality of the characters. Again I think its just the large maps and I am not saying that the terrain or any locations they have produced is bad.
    There is A TON of content. The amount of missions, Warframes, weapons, and customization of said weapons/warframes is terrific. Color pallets are among the few things you can not unlock from in game blueprints and you only start with a small pallet. Anything you can not unlock can be purchased with "platinum," which is in game currency which you can purchase with your real money. You can unlock blueprints for warframes, weapons, items, companions, etc. They do take a long while to build which can bypassed by purchasing them if you just have to have it.
    Looking at all the aspects of the game, I really enjoy this. I have a long list of games in my steam library that I have not even touched because of this game, new releases too. The dev team has some really great Ideas, they stream a few times every week showing off new features etc. The only thing that doesnt really stand out is the games music/score. I am not sure if there is a constant score or just ambiance and is not something that has bothered me either. Just thought i would throw that out there.

    Its definitely something worth trying. Its free, its co-op, its ninjas, and most importantly fun.

    Not deep, but light, fun, and fast. Improved by leaps and bounds from it's early days, and still getting better.

    Stunningly beautiful graphics (making excellent use of physics-based rendering). Best of all, a free-to-play system that's genuinely not pay-to-win, and doesn't need 20-hour grinds for each new weapon or frame. Solid pickup PvE, strong clan features for those who want them.

    Ok guys all you need to know about this game is it's negatives cuz the positives are too many to list.......
    but first!
    NOTE : THIS GAME IS NOT PAY TO WIN! I REPEAT NOT PAY TO WIN! THIS IS CO-OP AND IF PAYING WOULD BE ANYTHING IT WOULD BE TO PROGRESS FASTER ...... MOST OF THE WEAPONS IN THE GAME IS OBTAINABLE ............... AND THE REAL LIFE CURRENCY OF THIS GAME CAN BE EARNED THROUGH    Ok guys all you need to know about this game is it's negatives cuz the positives are too many to list.......

MOST OF THE WEAPONS IN THE GAME IS OBTAINABLE ............... AND THE REAL LIFE CURRENCY OF THIS GAME CAN BE EARNED THROUGH TRADING OR LOGIN REWARDS [ if the wheel loves you ] ....... AND THE ONLY THING THAT CAN ONLY BE BOUGHT WITH PLAT ARE SLOTS WHICH YOU NEED BUT TRUST ME, THEY'RE CHEAP ........ I've seen that most negative reviewers of this game were just people who didn't actually dig deep into it and I'm disappointed about that........
    Ok first of all before I state the negatives......... this is a grinding game ........... if you think about it , this is more Monsteer Hunter-ish than Destiny-ish ........... but with space ninjas and not hunters....... And again I'm just gonna state the negatives becase the positives outweigh it more.........
    .
    Negatives:
    1.) Servers aren't really stable and can disconnect you in the middle of a mission and frequent host migrations.........
    2.) BUGS [ srsly though, no game is 100% stable ]
    3.) Will make you sit your ass in front of the computer screen for long periods of time
    4.) Not really good PVP but hey its a co-op...... but expect improvements
    5.) Confusing start ..... Especially the early game.......
    .
    But remember: In order to experience the full fun of this game ........ You gotta submit yourself to the game and then you'll truly have your fun then.........    … Expand

    MMO-looter-shooter done right.
    Should be an example for all the games in the genre and beyond the genre.
    I will skip all the details, I will just say it wasn't perfect on release but they reached perfection after a couple of years and somehow kept it. It's what happens when lead designer and a producer both have a Vision. They're not pandering to the playerbase. They're creating their    MMO-looter-shooter done right.

    The game is somewhat repetitive, the grind is real. But you can't stop grinding because you always want the best equipment to defy the game.
    The best community so far, and the dev team is so present that we know the personality of each one.

    Can't say much more, you need to get in the game am play some hours to see.

    Customize, Weaponize and Optimize a space samurai terminator mixed in with parkour elements, mods to increase abilities, lots of melee and ranged weapons, not to mention many types of missions, top notch.

    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.
