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    … Expand

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

    The developers of this game is a shining example for the whole industry how to maintain and develop your game. The game has changed so much over time since release.
    The only negative I can think of is that the learning curve when you start out is quite steep. It takes a while to get to the point where you can craft your own stuff. But boy oh boy is it worth it.

Warframe does not indulge in questionable and manipulative business practices a lot of other free to play developers do, it keeps monetisation fair and simple, clearly communicated and it's economy is player driven.

    When picking up Warframe one should keep in mind a few things.
    - It's a BIG game. There is lots of stuff to do, lots of places to go, lots of game systems. It's easy to get overwhelmed if you rush too much and don't bide your time getting acquainted with said game systems.
    - It is a loot-centered game, in a sense spiritually similar to likes of Diablo, Destiny and many others. To get cool stuff you need to grind for it. That's the main gameplay loop, and there is no way (except platinum, but later on that) around it. You probably won't like it if you want everything given to you right away or with minimal effort.
    - Don't get turned off by platinum as fast. It is not exclusively obtained with real money as many ppl are conditioned to expect in modern gaming. Platinum can be traded freely between players for in-game items. That's where player driven market comes into play. You are free to trade with other players for platinum in exchange for mods, prime parts and other stuff you got. It is totally possible to obtain "platinum exclusive" unlocks and purchases without investing a dime into Warframe. It is really up to player's choice. While it may be tough very early on to obtain items of value, you will be able to get some pretty soon (depending on the pace at which you complete quests and learn the game). Plenty and more opportunities to make some platinum once you get a solid grasp of game's basics.
    - In addition to that (or if you think it's too much work) - game generously awards you with 75% platinum discounts every so often, and that platinum will last you a long time if you don't go spending it carelessly (or on easily farmable resources).
    - Don't get overly obsessed with "prime" stuff. Some of it may not be available at "this time right here and now" and you may have to wait or trade with other players to get it. It may be pretty expensive (platinum wise). But the point many new players miss is that you don't *need* prime stuff to participate in end-game activities. Is it marginally better? Yes. Does it look cooler? Up to personal taste. Do you *need* it? No, this feeling is called "want", not "need". Can you obtain it eventually? Most certainly yes! (except the only and one founders exclusive Excalibur prime and 2 weapons that came with it, but there is something else for excalibur fans, much cooler)
    - To expand on last point - prime stuff gets removed from loot tables every now and then, so you can't farm it anymore. Then it gets added back for some time again every so often, so everyone who missed it can get it again without utilizing player trading. Combined with the point about difference between "need" and "want" - you can either wait for it to become available again or trade with other players to get it here and now. It's entirely up to you to decide how much it's worth to you personally, and if you should wait or trade. If you think it's not worth platinum players asking for it - don't buy it off them, just wait. Inevitably it will be dropping once more and drop in price as well.

    Overall it's an amazing game that truly shows how much a free to play game can achieve without resorting to manipulation, gambling and moral bankruptcy.
    It is definitely far from done yet, there may be some bugs every now and then (that so to say get fixed rapidly with hotfixes), there may be some gameplay elements that could be better (and surprise - they do get better as game goes on, for example movement 1.0 vs movement 2.0 update).
    I had this game on my radar since it's early days and looking back at the path behind leaves me immensely impressed. From really modest beginnings it got where it is, and it leaves me only more excited for what's to come.

    My advice - give this game a fair chance to grow on you, and it most likely will. If you find out you're not into games of this type - you lose nothing since it's free, but you've at least tried the best game of this type out there.    … Expand

    Warframe has come a long way since its release in 2013 and almost every aspect has been improved and developed over the years. For a free to play game the quality and effort put into it shows, from the visual appearance, fun game play, and amazing community keep bringing players back. If you have not tried it (Or haven't played it recently) give it a go.

    In general, I hate first-person shooters. I love Warframe, and it keeps getting better and better because it's a constant work in progress.

A lot of the original complaints about the game -- repetition, relatively few levels, uninspired bosses, etc. are being addressed and disappearing. Many of the bosses are incredibly unique and require some creativity, not just having maximum levels and equipment and aiming skills, in order to beat them.
    Think Halo meets Ninja Gaiden.

    What I love about Warframe that sets it so far apart from other shooters is the mobility the Tenno have (bullet jump, double jump, run along and up walls with no limits, gliding descent) combined with the strong diversity of strategies. You have your heavy armor Tenno who can power through a bullet blizzard while mowing down hordes of hideous Grineer with a giant axe, you have the master of deception that can get them all shooting at the wrong target while picking baddies off by the dozen with a modded sniper, a Tenno who can unleash an ability that makes all the baddies shoot at each other, and many, many others, all of whom are roughly equally viable when you get the strategy right.

    Graphics are really freaking good for a free-to-play game. Great use of my graphics card. Looks like it actually belongs on PS4/XB1 instead of being simplistic crap you usually get with F2P.

    And it's not "pay to win" because you can't buy levels, can't buy experience, and can't buy your way into the next areas. Everything that's available to buy can also be farmed, with the exception of decorations. It's "pay to skip farming," which can get repetitive if you're trying to build up to make something specific. But I guess that's what keeps you playing -- that there's more to keep getting. Also, increasing Mastery Rank requires building up affinity with many different pieces of equipment, so not only are you rewarded for trying out multiple different loadouts and strategies, you *have to* try out different loadouts and strategies if you want to progress further in the game. You won't like every single loadout, but it turns out it's really more a matter of style and which enemies you're facing than it is a matter of "there are only a few good weapons and Tenno."

    The best Free to Play game available on any platform. 100% recommend.    … Expand

    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…

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.

    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.
