    This game is quite enjoyable free game if you like a game that you have to put time and effort into it.

    I have seen comments saying you have to pay real money just to get the good items. Yeah if you want them quickly you do but if you don't mind the grind you can get access to any item in the game with time and effort. So far on the Xbox one This has been one of the only 3 games that    This game is quite enjoyable free game if you like a game that you have to put time and effort into it.

So far on the Xbox one This has been one of the only 3 games that i have kept coming back to play so far.
    At first it took me a little while to get into the game but after a few hours i started to enjoy the game.

    My Pros and Cons

    Pro's
    The game is Free
    I can play the game for hours without being bored.
    You Don't need to buy the good weapons and can obtain every item in the game.
    Loads of weapons and warframes to obtain throughout the game
    You can trade for items you need to build weapons, mods or warframes
    Missions change starting positions and finishing points so it is not the same level over and over again if you replay it (Unless its a Interception or Defence mission).

    Con's
    Building Items can take a while e.g. New warframes take 3 days once you have built each item which take 12 hours each.
    Too many Alert missions that give away rare items and can leave you feeling angry when you have grinded to get said item and then becomes pretty much worthless on the trading market.
    You cant trade materials
    It can become repetitive from time to time    … Expand

    To start, I have been following and playing Warframe since its early days on PC. I was delighted to see it pop up on my Xbox as a free-to-play game and jumped straight in. I have played several hours of this game (around 30-40+) between PC and Xbox so this review will be thorough. As always, I will do a Pro/Con list below:

I was delighted to see it pop up on my Xbox as a free-to-play game and jumped straight in. I have played several hours of this game (around 30-40+) between PC and Xbox so this review will be thorough. As always, I will do a Pro/Con list below:

    Pros:
    1) Combat. Fighting in this game feels, exciting. Unlike other 3rd person shooters where you run from cover to cover, Warframe throws you face first into the fray with ninja flips and swords.
    2) Ship. The new system of having crafting stations and other assorted things on your own personal ship is something you wont get from most F2P games out there. Hell, SWTOR just recently got player homes/ships and that was a massive budget AAA game!
    3) Clans and Dojos. Having different tiers of clan gives the game balance, and having the ability to ally yourself with other clans to challenge large clans makes it a balanced game. In addition to the ship each player has, you may also invest in a clan dojo. This can be as large or small, empty or full, as you can make it. There are dozens of options to choose from and the art in every room is actually quite good. Wanting to make my clans dojo larger and more grandiose is what will keep me coming back to Warframe for a long time. This Pro alone brought my score from a 6 to a 7.
    4) In-game chat. It works! Players can drop in and help you (if your settings allow) and talking occurs smoothly through the game and with no hassle of party chat from Xbox. This is a great feature, since even the $500-million Destiny can't manage it currently.
    5) Universe and Enemies. While the story is a little loose and rough around the edges, the general universe is a fantastic one. With multiple enemy races and factions it does a good job at making the universe come alive. The enemies are also interesting and come in several different forms, from basic melee grunts to officers with armor and large weapons. They provide a modest challenge and can keep even an experienced veteran like myself entertained for hours.

    Cons:
    1) The AI. The AI isn't all that intelligent when it comes to battle strategy, but then again, it has come a LONG way from the earliest days of Warframe. Enemies will wonder about confused sometimes and sometimes get stuck on walls and steps, but that is just a reality of the gaming world today. Otherwise, they aren't as bad as some games on the current market.
    2) Level design. This one has been a pet peeve of mine for awhile now, but I'll mention it here anyways. Levels seem regurgitated and copied so often that you have to disengage yourself from them to enjoy game play. Alright, so they aren't THAT bad, but you will notice how many levels look alike and find yourself thinking "Haven't I been here before?"
    3) Plot and Campaign. This is the major weak spot for Warframe in my humble opinion. While the universe is rich and ready to be put to the test, the storytelling always seems to fall flat on its face. The introduction levels give you a decent story line, but after that it all sort of evaporates. Without a good campaign or maybe even a single player only mission campaign Warframe will never rise to the next level. While it is a great 3rd person shooter and lots of fun with unique features, it lacks where it counts here. This single Con is what keeps this score down.

    Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed it. I would for sure recommend Warframe if you have an Xbox One or PC. Not only is it FREE, but it will give you several hours of entertainment, and it is an ever-expanding game. Enjoy!

    Micro transaction glitch fest. On the upside; it is free. I really don't care for the game. It isn't a fun game from my perspective. Honestly the gameplay is rather terrible. The game creates no purpose or intrigue, there is no reason to continue playing.

    If you're a hardcore space geek that will play any piece of crap that is SciFi then this game is for you.

    Warframe on the Xbox is about as good as it gets for Free-to-Play games. Most importantly, the addition of native controller support, obvious since this is a console port, greatly improves the ease of maneuverability for players without the manual dexterity to simultaneously hit all of the keys required for advanced maneuvers in the PC version, which makes the game much more approachable.Warframe on the Xbox is about as good as it gets for Free-to-Play games. Most importantly, the addition of native controller support, obvious since this is a console port, greatly improves the ease of maneuverability for players without the manual dexterity to simultaneously hit all of the keys required for advanced maneuvers in the PC version, which makes the game much more approachable. This game can be intimidating to new and/or solo players, as cooperation makes the missions much easier and aside from the basic control functions, much of the more advanced maneuvering abilities are left to the player to figure out. The repetition of environmental tilesets, though semi-randomized, makes missions seem repetitive at times, which is really apparent when grinding the same levels for materials or equipment blueprints. You can circumvent grinding by buying items with Platinum, Warframe's premium currency, though this can be quite expensive. For example, a single weapon can be priced at 200 Platinum, while the $10 Platinum package only provides you 175 Platinum. With that in mind, every item that affects gameplay (Warframes, weapons, etc.) can be obtained without platinum unlike a majority of other games using the Free-to-Play model. Overall, the originality, flow of action, and customization options that can literally make this game range between a stealthy assassination game and an action packed run-and-gunner, all lend towards drawing players in. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone who has the time and patience to grind for gear, or does not feel bad about spending money on premium currency.… Expand

    IF YOU PLAY IT:
    Choose characters wisely and try out all the weapons on the tables because once you choose, it will be a while until you can buy other stuff.

    btw you buy blueprints and then build everything with components. This was not made clear to me...    … Expand

    This game is a representation we need to see more of....free games! Now if this game wasn't so..free, It'd probably be a 4.5/10 at best but thanks to it being so...free, I've bumped it up to a 6/10.

    I will say it: This was the first time I felt I was addicted to a game. I spent hundreds of hours on this game because I liked the flashy combat and massacring the enemies in-game. I cannot speak about the state of the game today or the monetization system, but I really liked it at the time. Would I recommend it, I'm not sure.

    An utterly inoffensive third-person shooter. [Issue#117, p.83]

    Our time with the game has in no way been brief, yet so much remains to be explored. Community events, an evolving storyline, clans, and the sheer number of missions and locations will keep us returning to this space opera on a regular basis for months, maybe even years to come.

    A bit broken, quite derivative and short on narrative appeal - but rich with customisation possibilities and enjoyable at the level of the firefight.
