At first, I thought this game wasn't for me.
It took hours of waiting to craft items and up to 3 days to wait for the new Warframe that I just farmed for. It took a lot of immersion in the game, but, somehow, I found it very enjoyable.
The technology behind this game, the maps are never the same no matter what you do and there was something for everyone. Shooters? You have it. Want to fly around an open world? No problem. Want to skate? Hell yeah.
But it wasn't until Second Dream that I finally understood what Warframe was and what it could become. I'd never felt like I loved a game so much before. So I went through every log, every piece, everything I could to understand the story. And when I did that? It was like a whole new game had emerged.
I went from just killing enemies and collecting cool characters to being some kind of superhero who kept the system balanced. And more and more secrets were revealed until I realized what was looking over my shoulder about this story.
I couldn't even trust my own shadow. From the Second Dream to fighting in a War Within, to helping someone overcome grief over a Sacrifice, to the chaos of a New War lurking just around the corner.
I couldn't ask for a better game. A better community. Or a better developer.
After 2400+ hours of study, all I can say is, I hope I have another 2400 hours.

My friend recommended Warframe to me and after trying it, I've had so much fun with it! Obviously I haven't really even scratched the surface of what it has to offer, but in the time that I have spent playing it, I've thoroughly enjoyed collecting mods, leveling weapons, looting storage chests, and unlocking new planets to go on missions in! I also really like how I can choose to go into things alone or play with my friends. There definitely is a learning curve in figuring out what items to craft, what to keep and what to get rid of, etc. but from what I've seen the community in-game is readily available to help out new players and answer questions if anyone has them. Honestly, I find it fun to play more at leisure by completing tasks. It's a gorgeous game and the parkour/movement system is fluid, beautiful, and so much fun to play. I could and will sink lots of hours into this title :))

Probably not the most accurate representation as I haven't played in a while, but the base gameplay is extremely fun. Combat and shooting actually feel fun and despite the destiny-like "higher difficulty = more health" mechanics, there's enough unique enemies to keep you on your feet every time. While not EVERY warframe is a banger and fun to play, there's definitely enough warframes for everyone to find and get comfortable with.

While I'm sure it's changed, the F2P aspect made this game an enjoyable grind. Yeah the farmville type beat of "wait 16 IRL hours for this to craft or pay with real money" is annoying, but there's always plenty of other stuff to do while you wait for your new gun to craft. Gathering mods, mats, warframe parts, or whatever else you need is something that's FUN grinding for. I'm not sure how it works nowadays, but trading warframe parts for premium currency like it's runescape was fun as fuck and I wasted so many hours grinding and trading. Fashionframe is the true endgame.

I dropped it though because once they started adding keys to planets (back in like 2017 or smth) it really changed the way you would grind and it honestly became a chore. I did try this game again when they released the huge ass open world, but honestly it wasn't enough to keep me playing.

If you start now, there's a LOT of player knowledge and a LOT of grind to go through, which might be what some players want. For me, this game is like an ex I care about. I'll always remember it fondly, but I'll probably never interact with it again because it's a completely different thing now and I don't want my memories ruined.

Listen i am all warframed out. They get new quests which i usually play but it feels like torture to play or better said grind for anything other than that. Don't get me wrong i have made great friends on that game and amazing memories.
If you are looking for an amazing free game you got one right here but FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME. If you try to do a lot of things at once or you get easily distracted you will not have a good time have a wiki and maybe a clan member near by. Also yes Clans join one and start talking to dudes or guys
and perhaps even men. this is a social mmo like game thingy it will make the grind easier to handle. Anyway go play the new Farming Simulator
