    An extremely promising and interesting early access with a free to play demo that is masqueraded as the full experience. In a rather literal sense, you get what you pay for in warframe, so long as you're smart about how you pay for what.

    there is an importand distinction to be made between pay to win and pay to progress. Warframe's nature as a co-op shooter prevents it from falling into    An extremely promising and interesting early access with a free to play demo that is masqueraded as the full experience. In a rather literal sense, you get what you pay for in warframe, so long as you're smart about how you pay for what.

    there is an importand distinction to be made between pay to win and pay to progress. Warframe's nature as a co-op shooter prevents it from falling into the P2W trap on the basis that if players with vastly superior gear to yours blitz through a mission, you will still receive XP and thus level up. In similar manner you will also still receive the mission rewards upon said mission's conclusion. However this is where the pay to progress comes in and.

    I have put a good amount of time and money into the game so both the buying and earning parts have been amply used. Now let's be clear here, you will not get better weapons or warframes as a starting player without buying them, period. Warframe can be considered free as a demo, but to properly experience the game requires that you at least purchase a $20 Platinum pack and use it very judiciously.

    The main argument that is always made is that you can earn everything that can be bought in the game, thus never having to pay anything. What you are not told however is that the materials, components and blueprints required cannot even be obtained until you have progressed so significantly in the game to the point where you can no longer be called a new player. You cannot progress in the game without better gear, thus we have a vicious cycle that forces spending to be able to even use the 'free' option.

    You will have to be extremely careful with your spending as well, $20 will get you a single warframe if you aren't careful or not even a single warframe. Prices range from 75p for the excellent volt to 375p for the abysmal Ash. weapons tend to fall into a range of 100-275p. You must also purchase warframe and weapon slots and special orokin components to improve your warframes and weapons. be aware that all store bought gear comes pre-installed with these components which will run you about 20p a piece.

    If you do get the materials required then you can craft the item in the foundry. the shortest wait time for the sweet, sweet reward to all your efforts is 12 hours....the longest wait is 72...you can pay up to 60p to rush the process. Most of the things you can buy as new player are crap, you need to be at least mastery rank 2 before you are even 'allowed' to purchase anything of reasonable strength. You can buy a booster pack that will make the grind for ranking up go twice as fast. You can only try the rank up test once every 24 hours, you cannot pay platinum to speed it up if you fail.

    Coming back to the pay to progress part, certain weapons and warframes have unreasonable resource requirements that no sane person will want to have to deal with. The Zephyr warframe for example demands 600 oxium, which drops in sets of 1 or 2 from a relatively rare specific enemy that is heavily armoured and will suicide if you get in its general proximity. you can buy oxium 30p for 300 on PC, not on PS4. Zephyr is 275p in the store. In case it weren't obvious by now, Digital Extremes wants your money, they want it really bad and are not ashamed to make this abundantly clear in as blatant a manner as possible. The store prices are horrifically inflated and you will build a high end gaming PC for the money it would cost to buy everything from their in game store....

    But what happens when you do give them your money? well...For one thing the customization and art direction in warframe are nothing short of stellar. premium warframes like Rhino Prime or Zephyr not only look stunning and exquisitely detailed but the 75p colour packs allow you to perfectly tailor a warframe to your tastes. The same applies to weapons and the little sentinel pets that go for 75p a piece. Also, bisecting a dozen enemies with a single swing of your Galatine greatsword is sweet.

    If you join a good, active clan you will be rewarded with a very enthralling social dynamic. the camaraderie and bromance an display in a good clan kind of approximates Monster Hunter in the whole, bonding over a quest to get parts for a desired item, kind of way. You do need a clan to provide you with interesting and meaningful goals though...as is, warframe's gameplay is both generic and repetitive. it comes closest to Mass effect 3 multiplayer in that you have a character with 4 powers, a primary weapon, secondary weapon and in warframe's case a melee weapon. The thing is that the enemy variety is very, very low and they are all exceedingly dumb (though some have stellar marksmanship) the game is at its best during its imitation of horde mode.

    Warframe is a potentially fantastic, evolving game, crippled by an identity crisis. It wants the ease of spending and the player count of free to play's, but prices single items as full games,whilst actively sabotaging free players at every turn    … Expand

    Based on the PS4 version 17.7.1

    First of all I want to emphasize on the fact that this is a genuine free game, where you really don’t need to pay in order to play and have fun! You won’t find a hidden obstacle preventing you from advancing or even playing in general like in so many other alleged free to play games. Everything can be earned and build without spending real money on it.    Based on the PS4 version 17.7.1

You won’t find a hidden obstacle preventing you from advancing or even playing in general like in so many other alleged free to play games. Everything can be earned and build without spending real money on it.
    Real currency can be spend on either accelerating build processes of weapons and warframes (the classes in the game) or for buying cosmetic stuff like additional colors or capes etc. But Warframe really is no pay to win game!

    At first you might think that Warframe is a simple third person shooter but the longer you play the more complex it gets. Seriously, this game is getting so freaking complex that I still haven’t figured out everything, yet.
    Unfortunately it’s true that the game sadly has a very steep learning curve and that you sooner or later need to consult Google, a wiki or YouTube etc. for advice.

    The graphics are beautiful and very clean. The different warframes and weapons have a distinct and cool look and they all feel very different which gives you a huge selection to choose from. You have lots of primary, secondary and melee weapons, companions and of course the warframes themselves.

    The gameplay is fluid and fun. For some people the game might be too fast (think Call of Duty) but you get used to it and start running on walls in no time. The new parkour system 2.0 is a lot better than the movement system in the older versions of Warframe. In fact, I’m pretty impressed with the developers that they put so much effort into this game.
    Playing Warframe in cooperation with friends is a great experience and so much fun. This is actually the way the game is meant to be played. Sure you can play every mission by yourself but firstly will that be pretty difficult later in the game and secondly isn’t it as much fun.

    What I really love about this game is its addictive formula where you’re constantly hunting for new loot. It’s not just weapons and new warframes you’re after, so called mods are crucial in making your equipment versatile and better, too. Mods vary very much in their functionality and can give you, for instance, elemental damage, faster reload speed, more power for your warframes and so on. It’s a great way to customize your load out.

    One of downsides of Warframe are those huge levels that constantly give you a sense of déjà vu. It’s like a random level generator with only 20 pieces. Very soon you see a place where you ask yourself: “Haven’t I just been here already?” Levels feel like developers made them huge just for the sake of size, not because they really need to be big. Most levels could easily be halved and still be fun and bigger than maps in most other shooters!

    Again, since this is a free to play game, it’s a definite must-try in my eyes! Try bringing one or more friends with you and you will have an absolute blast :) !    … Expand

    I love games that make grinding the cornerstone of their game (destiny, Pokemon, etc.) so this game feels right at home with me, not to mention the interesting flow and combat in the game make it all the more interesting to grind. Other things like the little explanation for how the game works and the vast amounts of things to do may seem over-encumbering to most, but to me, i feel like it gives me an open canvas to paint, to make my adventure feel as unique as i wish to make it.

    Fast combat, a wide variety of guns and characters to grind for, and an open canvas give me all the reason to love this game.

    the only reason i gave it a 9 and not a 10, is that all items that you grind towards to make, are timegated forcing you to wait 12-24 hours to complete    … Expand

    So if you are a person who likes to set short/long term goals, if you like farming for resources, if you like space ninjas, then this game is for you. I left D2 to play Warframe and couldn't be happier.    … Expand

There's a squad chat, clan chat, region chat, recruitment chat and trade chat, why is this such a huge deal? Well I played destiny and destiny 2 and they had none of that, finding players was a huge problem, it's not a problem at all in warframe.
    Another great thing is community, everyone is so helpful and no one blames you for anything, people explain what you need and what you don't need to do in in-game chat, this in-game chat is essentially an open forum with players always there to answer any and all of your questions.
    Gameplay is great, very fast and dynamic, graphics are not top tier but the game is quite old and free2play so there's no reason to expect top tier destiny level of graphics but it's still really good especially during cutscenes of story quests. Oh those quests and that great story, I've spent over 100 hours thinking my warframe is one thing but then story twist just turned it up side down and I was blown away yet again, and it's not just good story for a free2play game it's a great story in general, much better and more interesting than most recent Triple A games. Another big thing for me is the amount AND QUALITY of weapons, I really mean that, every weapon not just looks cool it also shoots differently from other weapons of the same type, there's like 4 types of bows(not 4 bows, there's much much more than 4 I'm talking about 4 types as in it's a bow but it's nothing like the other bow I used before), there's I don't know how many rife types, each is different one shoots just like a regular rifle, the other shoots some plasma and another one shoots with bolts yeah bolts and you see how they fly and pierce enemies sticking them to walls.
    But of course it's not perfect, it has lots of bugs and glitches like you getting stuck in the wall and quests not appearing when everything needed for the quest is complete, it doesn't ruin the game but it's one BIG thing that wont't allow me to give it a perfect 10/10 score.

    EDIT
    It's free2play game so there are micro transactions, but there's a reason why I said warframe is "THE BEST free2play game I've ever played" and it's because you don't have to pay for anything, both pay and play aspects are very balanced and the only thing a free player will need a premium currency for is more inventory space, which is not a problem at all and the new player is given a starting premium current called platinum that can be used right away to get more inventory space, enough not to worry about it for multiple months.    … Expand

    Warframe is one of those games that is a lot of fun, but your going to want the wiki page sitting next to you at all times. As your progress though the game you can customize your characters, weapons, and sentinels with mods. You can add heat or electricity to your weapon igniting or electrifying your foes. You can also add heat and electricity creating radiation damage turning affected enemies against each other. As of update 14 (basically warframe 2.0) you have a choice of 3 warframes (choose volt) melee, side arms, and primary weapons. The part that throws a lot of people off is the market. The market sells weapons, frames and such for platinum. Platinum cannot be earned in game and is very expensive costing real world currency. The market also sells blueprints for weapons, equipment, and such for in game earned credits. Blueprints can also be dropped by enemies and found by other means in game. Once you have a blueprint you need to farm materials needed to build the parts needed. To build a frame you will need to construct the helm, chassis, and systems. This is really what the game is about: unlocking planets farming materials and building new warframes or items to make your warframes better. The problem with building is that each part takes an insultingly long amount of time to build. To build a new warframe the three parts take 12 hours and once they're built turning them into a warframe takes 3 days (the timer will continue ticking if your logged of). You can build parts simultaneously so the three parts won't take 36 hours, but it feels like a slap in the face. The gameplay is fast passed and fun, but can get repetitive. If you have a team of 3 players coordinating it adds depth, but the majority of public squads will just get from point a to point b as fast as possible turning an experience into a chore. The variety in the frames weapons and skills is impressive to say the least. I could go on for hours, but I need to wrap this up.

    Pros:
    -Free to play so you have nothing to loose in trying this game out
    -Your a wall running parkouring space ninja
    -4 player coop
    -Vary wide variety of warframes and weapons
    -The mod system adds to that variety in ways I don't have time to put into text
    -Every item you can buy can also be acquired in game
    -Great balancing; there's really no "best weapon or warframe" each is unique
    -Fast paced gameplay
    -Beautiful visuals
    -Consistent updates adding new levels environments weapons and warframes
    -Can be played with keyboard and mouse

    Cons
    -Slow start; the game really opens up after the 30% mark
    -The tutorial does not explain a lot (you will need to reference the wiki constantly)
    -Crazy expensive market
    -Majority of random created squads will have you racing through most missions as quickly as possible(make friends)
    -The time it takes to build items is a bad joke
    -Although it's not required you will most likely end up spending $10-20 (not bad for a game, but you need to be wise with what you spend it on)
    -A fair share of bugs
    -Updates cannot be preformed in the background (you may be able to watch Netflix or other apps that don't require a lot of ram, but you cannot play games)    … Expand

Id like to start of positively and say that Warframe is one of the shining examples of how to do F2P games without holding the player's wallet as a hostage. Warframe deftly avoids the trap of holding the player's wallet hostage in order to progress further into the game, unlike hundreds of games that use this model before it. That's not to say that you can't buy weapons or items to save time, but if you choose to do so, the player still has to do the work in order to make that weapon more powerful through repeated use and acquisition of mods to upgrade it, which cannot be side stepped by slipping a few dollars across the counter. The one exception here are the reactor and catalyst items. These outright double the mod capacity of any item they are usable on and essentially double that items level. I would consider this a negative if DE didn't always give these away to players every 2 weeks as well as they can be gotten as daily login rewards, alert mission rewards, quest rewards and just outright gifts for players. You can also buy boosters for experience, resources, and in-game currency an can be purchased as well, but since it does not take long to get a weapon to its maximum level, it wont give you any sort of leg up on the competition, since this is primarily a PvE game. Even in the few PvP modes, since the primary way to gain power is through mods, which are consigned to enemy drops, you cannot buy any advantages there either and will have to settle for picking the appropriate Warframe and weapons for the job. Not to say the store is perfect, as there are a few flaws there. The real cash shop sells weapons, and they are hilariously overpriced compared. Simply put any player who learns enough about the game will know immediately to never buy weapons from the market and simply save your real cash for things like cosmetics, reactors/catalysts, and weapon/frame slots.

    The gameplay end is sort of a mixed bag. The game, in terms of its balance is sublime from its beginnings to the mid-game. There's a fair mix of Warframe ability use along with melee combat and ranged weapon use. This balanced part of the game allows for more options and freedom and experimentation on how to dispatch your enemies as well as customize your weapon to perform differently. The highest level difficulty missions effectively squelch creativity and demand that players use only the most effective, efficient playstyles or get overwhelmed and wipe. On one hand that makes sense, because its high level content, but on the other, its BORING. There are roughly 200+ weapons and 20+ frames not counting primes and a handful of these things will perform acceptably in order defeat this content (like literally 10-12 weapons are deemed good enough for high level content). This wouldn't be much of an issue had the game not implemented an insane scaling spike starting at the mid 30+ levels. Suddenly, more than 9/10ths of the arsenal is deemed useless or impractical for this content which results in players being funneled towards the same setups, stacking only damage mods simply to be effective while leaving performance-altering and other mods out cold simply because the only stat that matters is damage. I should also state that players do not scale at all the way enemies do in their defenses, which leads to the narrowing of warframe choice as those who are built for crowd control tactics are only deemed acceptable because of their ability to deny the enemy the ability to fight back because the enemy's scaling makes them so overpowered that our non scaling warframes would die from a single stray bullet. The combination of these two issues leads to players building their frames in a way to eliminate any inefficiency and only the best setups will get you anywhere if you want higher level rewards. This is a huge issue, because games tend to open up when you get to the end and present the player with a plethora of valid options for the toughest content, and Warframe is the exact reverse of this, only crowd control Warframes, only high damage, high crit weapons will let you even attempt this content. That literally weeds out the vast majority of your choices in mods, weapons and frames. The other negatives involve mainly traversal, its full of jank to be quite frank. maneuvers such as climbing on a ledge, running up or across a wall simply do not perform consistently as executed. You may even fall through geometry if you accidentally attempt a wall run at a certain angle on certain tile sets. which will cost you a one of your 4 daily revives for that frame instead of the game simply teleporting you back to a safe spot.

    The game itself still needs more polish, but the social tools, clan features, syndicates(factions), are evolving at a fast clip and the problems I've outlined may not be as endemic in the future thanks to constant updates.    … Expand

After the many updates that came to Warframe over the last 4 years, it has ultimately paid off. While the sheer amount of content found in this game is quite daunting, (and this isn’t helped by the fact that the tutorials don’t help much), once you actually begin to understand the mechanics, there is a stupid amount of content to be found in this game. The massive plethora of guns, warframe classes, planets, and missions made it so that you are always pursuing a different goal. The gameplay works all in the favor of this massive plethora, as because the gameplay feels smooth, responsive, strong, and awesome. One thing about Warframe that seemed strange at first, but later loved so deeply about the mechanics is that no weapon/class is superior to another. (Except the prime sets, which are basically the original class on crack). In other words, you can go through all progression with a single set. But doing that would only limit your arsenal, because Warframe rewards you for playing different weapons and Warframes through mastery, where the more mastery you have, the more weapons you can toy around with. Simply the fact that there is no one correct path to go down in progression, really gives a true sense of customization. Also, the free to play model rarely, if at all gets in the way of the experience, which is a surprising shock to me. (I know y’all kids are gonna say Fortnite did the same thing, but that felt predatory in terms of community because you get trash talked if you don’t have a good skin). All in all, if you want to truly feel like an awesome cyberninja, then Warframe will not disappoint you.… Expand

    This is the best free game i have ever seen. Interesting and unpredictable plot and very deep lore, good gameplay, VERY big number of primary, secondary and cold weapon and your warframes with different abilities, good graphics and its own style.

    For anyone looking for a looter shooter, don’t come to warframe. It may have come out before destiny 1 or 2 but either of them are much better. Don’t be drawn in by space ninjas with destiny-like abilities cause the abilities are less in depth than destiny, no trees like in the equally free destiny 2, worse gunplay, and almost no interesting characters.

    The game is an 500 hour+ grind fest of doing the same thing over and over hoping for different results, there no progression or challenge, basically the company try’s to just get new players in cuz they don’t know anything and are more likely to spend money, well trying to push vets out cuz the vets what more to be added to the game

    This game is not friendly to new players with literally god know what mission and material guide.
    Repeatedly slash is what this game is all about.

    Self righteous developers and fans who have developed a little bubble of bs for you to learn before you can even know what weapons to use. The game is utter confusion, nothing makes any sense.

It’s too easy to fight, too annoying to have to solve a simple puzzle in the middle of a fight, annoying trying to negotiate with a bunch of basement dwellers to teach me wtf this thing does or where to get that to build this to do that. The game sucks. They wanted to confuse you into paying for bundles instead of grinding. Don’t give them money. This game blows.… Expand

    Absolutely one of the top 3 if not 1# of all F2P games i have ever played. 300+ Hours of enjoyment speak for themselves.

Some people might be upset about the fundamental changes of the game that come pretty quick but in my opinion this makes the game pretty alive and i don´t mind that the developers sometimes test new things or take a step into the wrong direction because they learn from their mistakes and listen to the community. So if there´s an update that destroys content you liked before be sure to have a hotfix inbound the same week in most cases!… Expand

    Update: After not playing this game and coming back to it I can say is that it has changed a lot. when it first came out it had almost no competition on the PS4 but now with the PS4 having a larger library I can say that it doesn't hold up against the competition. Its still free and a good game but not as great as others on the market.    … Expand

    One year from now, Warframe will be a distant memory, almost completely forgotten. It's one of those games that just doesn't leave a clear mark. Then again, it does offer violence with swords, and it does it for free. What's the worst that could happen?

    Warframe is a decent grind-based F2P shooter. [Feb 2014]

    Warframe is a good free-to-play TPS, but the action is too repetitive to make it an essential.
