    In its current state, Warframe is an impressive port of an excellent game. While I was hoping it was better in some aspects, Warframe is worth trying out on iOS for sure. It remains one of the best examples of free to play done right, and the complete game with no major compromises is now playable on iOS with cross play and cross save support. I can’t wait to see how Digital Extremes enhances the mobile version through the year leading into the Android version.

    Warframe is a gorgeous third-person multiplayer looter-shooter with surprisingly smooth gameplay considering the expansive scope of the game.

    Warframe has now successfully launched on two PlayStation consoles in a row, and both times as a launch title. Once again, this is the place to play if you don’t have a PC that can play the game at high settings. The PS5 is also the only place to play where haptic feedback plays into how the game feels.

    The game still has issues with repetition and lack of explanations for its more complex systems, but it's managed to overcome their severity by introducing so many events and revisions that continue to elevate it.

    Fortnite won’t be the only free-to-play game hogging your time on the Nintendo Switch. Panic Button’s port of Warframe sings, despite the obvious technical limitations that Nintendo consoles typically suffer from. If you’re hungry for a space-marine stealth shooter that you can play with pals, Warframe is your best (and perhaps only) bet on the Nintendo eShop.

    Warframe is definitely one of the best free to play games available right now, and a fantastic shooter in its own right. It's fun and frantic, with loads of content to sink your teeth into for hours. Whether by yourself, with friends or with random people found through matchmaking, this is a great game, well worth your time. And it's now available on the go, too.

    A playground in space riddled with dead content.

    The title says it all. Warframe is extremely flooded with content. Dead content. But is the game fun? It sure is. The amount of warframes you can play as, the amount of weapons you can craft and the amount of builds you can come up with is amazing. The combat feel great. Bullet jumping from one section to the next and ranking up headshots feels great. You can also come up with crazy combinations with mods and skill-switches (subsume) on different warframe to come up with something cool. I'm currently playing as a Loki that can use Tesla coils and do massive AOE dmg. Also, dont let the cash shop mislead you. You can get everything without paying a cent. You just gotta grind for it. However. And I mean, with a capital H. It's extremely hard to get end game going solo. You definitely need to join a clan. So if you hate being social in an MMO, Warframe is not for you. So, about the dead content. There's just so many things that you definitely need to upgrade your warframe. Want to upgrade your amp to kill eidolons? Your gonna have to slog your way through it on some extremely difficult missions or get yourself a team. If you got friends to play with, going through the content is gonna be a walk in the park. Going solo however, is nightmarishly challenging and boring. Its dead cause barely anyone is doing it. The auto party queue will show you that no one is playing. You can wait for a certain duration and when its over, you just spawned on the mission, alone and miserable. The game is riddled with dead content. Do I recommend you play Warframe? If you are bored and got friends to play with, then yes. If not, then go wait for Soulframe instead.

    F2P Galactic Space Ninjas anyone?

    As someone who was just thrown into the fray of **Warframe**, I was so intrigued with the lore and the amount of content available I forgot it was a free game. Admittedly, since **my** play style involves just going in guns blazing, I found it enjoyable just tearing down enemies and laying waste wherever I go. Although not all missions would encourage you to do so, which can get a bit frustrating. And the controls need some getting used to with all the variety of movement you can do with your space ninjas. After rinsing and repeating for a while, some of the missions have this tendency to feel monotonous - in the sense that how you go about some things may feel redundant: you get dropped off, work on the mission, head back to extraction. Then repeat.  Customization in the game allows you to freely craft, design, and mod almost anything and everything - from your character, to your weapons/equipment, to your stats, and even your ship. With this in mind, you may find yourself spending an hour or so just tinkering and upgrading your stuff. This would also entail a lot of hunting down for artifacts and other loots though (just a lil’ warning to those of you out there who aren’t a fan). Although to counter this, you may easily find people in Coop mode willing to help you (surprising me as a new player as there were a lot of those asking if I needed assistance with anything). So, if you’re the type to enjoy grinding, mowing down hordes of enemies, parkouring through terrains, customizing or crafting and not paying so much mind in some repetitive aspects, this hack & slash, third-person, looter-shooter, sci-fi open-world game is definitely something worth checking out. **Overall: 9.5/10** Visuals: 10/10 Sound: 9/10 Storyline: 10/10 Gameplay: 9/10

    Warframe is one of the best free games on steam in my opinion. You have 45 different classes + enhanced versions of them. You can level up the mastery in single one of them and in the weapons too, that are a lot. You can also team up with your friends and do limited events, ship battles, survival mode,etc... The story is also really good for a single player game, and each update comes with a lot of new things. Warframe came to stay.

    There’s a wide range of looter-shooter alternatives available now but it’s hard to replace Digital Extremes’ Warframe. It has been consistently updated since 2012. A lot has been added to the game since the last time I played and I can barely keep track of the changes. It’s very f2p friendly, you don’t need to have every single frame to enjoy all the content being offered and that is what’s great about it, quality content for free. I don’t think I’ll be playing this game again anytime soon. It’s pretty daunting to get back to considering the sheer amount of new stuff added but I’ve had my fun and I’m sure a lot of people still find this game enjoyable. Try it, you might like it. After all it’s free.

    8.3

    Unpopular opinion time. The rating is 8.3 because this is a great game, but there are major problems in the game. I have put thousands of hours on this game because it's fun, but man, half of the community's suggestions go out the dev team's other ear. The devs only care about adding new content, and there are problems in the game that they still haven't fixed, including glitches and power-hungry moderators that love nepotism and favoritism. It's kinda sad to see this game go downhill with all of the revisions that pull the game lower. There is a lot of content, but the way the devs handle content is bad because you're gonna have to clear time in your schedule to grind for time-exclusive items. However, if you have a lot of time in your hands and have low standards for games, then play this game. Either way, it's free and you can get everything in this game for free as long as you have time to grind for the rarest loot, so there's almost no loss if you end up disliking this game.
