Disclaimer: If you hate playing games with hard learning curbs then you may not like warframe

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way. lets get started

About:Warframe is what i like to call a FRPG (Farming Role Playing Game) where you shoot and slice your way to new a great loot
Content: Warframe takes the model of a free game and throws that out the window. For example take a game like Black Light Retribution (or any free game where you have to buy most items) where games like that require a good chunk of content to be bought, Warframe does a similar thing where you can buy weapons, new warframes, or cosmetics but allows you to earn all of it (excluding cosmetics) but this is where it turns most players off since in order to get these new things you have to farm for blueprints, then you have to farm the materials to craft it but these two things lead to what makes this game so fun. So when crafting things you have to wait and depending on what kind of item it is it may take 8 minutes to 24 hours and this gives insentive to come back since you can come back to the game, get a brand new thing to play around with and this breaths new life into the game. Warframe currently has 34 Warframes, each with different abilities and has 50 + weapons not counting the upgraded prime variants which modify the stats to make them even better

Gameplay: Warframe has a very interesting gameplay, now you may be saying "Vaporwave, i've seen trailers and it just seems like a simple third person shooter with rpg elements" well yes it is that, but it has a amazing movement system where you can slide, wall run, slide jump etc and this movement system is one of the reasons this game has the tag like "Ninjas Play Free"

Graphics: Warframe for what it is, is a beautiful game with very interesting areas and skyboxes and extremely well made graphics

Levels: Warframes levels are made up of Cells (small area chunks) that are put together randomly to make a level so you will never play a level with the same set up

Characters: Warframe has amazing characters with a interesting lore you learn through the story. The main characters in warframe are the Warframes them selves, these are (SPOILERS HAVE BEEN CENSORED) which all have different abilities from stealth abilities to healing abilities or just combat abilities. One warframe that stands out in the game is one called Octavia which has a ability which plays music but this music can be customized to make your own songs that play in game when the abilities are used (For example i personally made the riff from Enter Sandman and the Metal Gear Solid 2 Theme)

Story: Now the story is pretty interesting in my opinion. When you start the game your character wakes up on Earth to a faction called the grineer looking for it and to use it like a lab rat. A character by the name of the lotus leads you to your weapons and then to your orbiter to escape. The only problem with the story is that its quite obvious when the team decided to go towards more story and the story only really develops at the Second Dream quest line where instead of just fighting bosses you begin to learn more about the Warframes and the Tenno

Conclusion: Warframe is a game that a specific kind of people will enjoy but if you dont like the type of game warframe is i really encourage you to try it for a day or two and if you stopped playing when the game first came out because it seemed like it was going to just get worse then please give it another try. I give Warframe a 9.5 Out of ten. It combines the looting of borderlands with the enjoyablility of thrid person shooters
