Join the fight in this co-op focused shooter from Digital Extremes. Warframe is a cooperative free-to-play online action game set in an evolving sci-fi world. Join your friends in player-vs-enemy raids across the solar system and master the power of the Warframes. Stand alone or fight together against enemies that threaten your world.
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.
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
