    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.

    The idea with the Tamagotchi-space-dogs is already absolutely amazing.
  3. With the lack of a Pay to Win system and easy engagement for new players, Warframe offers some quality time.

    Digital Extremes has created something that's often genuinely fun to play, and given the cost of entry, Warframe's well worth a try if you're in the mood for something different.

    Warframe isn't anything special. It's not revolutionary, exceptional or timeless. Still - every time I returned to the game, it kept playing for at least an hour (without regret). Digital Extremes has made an enjoyable, engrossing, spectacular game. Especially, when you find yourself a team or - even better - invite some friends. If you need a new opportunity to slaughter aliens, you should try Warframe.

    Some problematic menus pale in comparison to Warframe's real problem: a pervasive tendency toward repetition.

    Don't listen to the negatives, you don't need to be rich to have fun.
    The graphics in Warframe are absolutely stunning for a F2P game, even if it would be a Pay2Play game, it would still be jaw-dropping. However, in Warframe, you could play on med-high setting and still get 60+fps while getting an amazing experience making you feel as if you're going at max speed on a rollercoaster, completely dazed
    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!

It has large updates that are put out each month. It keeps getting better. Very polished gameplay. One of the best free to play games I've played. I would highly recommend experiencing it with your friends as it was meant to be played cooperatively and it's a far more fun than when played solo. Expand

    The game is pretty much great.
    Lots of different warframes, lots of weapons, the whole big mod system, amount of lore - there's always more to get.

    The game is based on grinding mechanic - there's no "energy cap", you can play however much you want and you won't be punished for it. This tactic of DE means 2 things:
    -if you like grind you'll love it
    -if you have not so much time it will feel, like you're getting behind

    One can easily spend 1000+ hours and not have every single thing in the game, but it's ok. Only big whales (like me) feel an inner need of getting every single item and they can succeed.
    The game has a premium "money" called Platinum. You can ofc buy it in the shop for some $, but the real kicker is that it's tradable - you can exchange the things that you grinded for 3hours on Sunday evening for some Platinum and get yourself some warframe skins.

    I'm a free2play and through trading I got over 70k platinum (equivalent of 3500$) and spent it on different sh*t&giggles. Yes, if you want to have more than 4 warframes in your arsenal you have to spend 20platinum on extra slot, so you're encouraged to trade with others in order to get it. It's a really clever system, because the whole market is self balancing - even though I didn't spend a penny, someone had to buy the 70k platinum that I used, someone used their rl money on the game.

    To summarize:
    - game is great, but not if you despise repetitive farming
    - game is really fast-paced and easy-going - perfect, if you don't want to think too much

It is getting updated on regular basis and often adds interesting content. The story is dog water and really cheap. It's definitely worth a try for its amazing gameplay. Expand
