Game was originally on steam (the port, not the game itself). Console version had a more, updated version. PC port never made it past 1.0. I don't know who was in charge of the port.
Never made any effort to catch up. Every 'update' was more cash-grab weapons.

Removed from Steam, placed on Windows Store. Same sh*t happened. Removed from PC altogether shortly after.

The sole existence of the game was to get as much money as possible before being pulled. The game past 2.0 was more balanced in terms of f2p. Never got there, and never will at this point.

I opted to remove the game form my account completely, out of sheer anger at how they were treating the port. Wished I didn't as this game is, more or less, a relic now. Tho if I remember, I think the game demanded a live connection to the servers to even allow you to play the game.

Do I recommend this game? Well that's a hard question as I'm in between saying yes and no. I do enjoy the game when matchmaking decides to be fair and my matches don't drop randomly. Ill go through cons and pros. Yes cons first as you need to hear the bad about this game before getting into it.

Cons:
I came to this game from having played it on Xbox, hopping to find the same amount of joy I had playing it. Truth be told, it wasn't what I expected. The steam port has a greatly reduced community, the game is extremely far behind in updates compared to the Xbox version and on top of that it has all the annoying glitches that I had to put up with on the Xbox such as:

1. Random drops and disconnection from the server/matches(it doesn't happen all the time but it will happen to you eventually).

2. Getting placed against end-game players: This is a huge drawback as the equipment system in the game allows you to get ridiculously overpowered resulting in a huge disadvantage against lower tier players.

3. Super premium items: No you don't have to use premium currency to get your hands on one but it takes time to get one and get a good one for a specific class. I think the Xbox port has this system where you can actually level up an item to premium then super premium once you max out its level but again the steam port is VERY far behind in updates.

4. Small Player base: Get use to seeing the same guy over and over and over. Especially the guy with max level items all of which are lvl15.

5. Hit detection: You chase a guy running away, hit him a few times, and he suffers 0 damage. On the other hand if he hits you, you take damage and your health doesn't magically regenerate in 2 seconds...which oddly enough seems like every one has even if they don't have the perk to increase health regeneration.


Well now on to the pros:

1. Fun game and light atmosphere: When you're not raging against having to fight op players, this game is really f****** fun.

2. Defense is meaningful: nobody stays back and defends the castle 90% of the time but if you decide to (and pray god you picked a cleric or engineer as they are the only classes that can build turrets) you can very well become mvp and # 1 player on your team and secured the win.

3. Nice map designs: Not too big, not too small. Has good atmosphere but some maps need more depth into them.

4. Co-op isn't a bad option to play this game: Pvp can and WILL get frustrating and make you want to contemplate suicide... well not that last part but sometimes it isn't sunshine and rainbows. Co-op is a nice change of pace and killing bots after bots is a nice stress reliever. Not to mention you get about the same amount of xp and currency just like in multiplayer, minus the league points.


Overall it is a nice game and seeing what it can be (Xbox version) I have high hopes the steam port here will eventually redeem itself. Its a fun game, few bumps here and there but it isn't complete garbage.

As stated in the beginning, I was wrong. It was complete garbage and a literal cash grab. No effort to update the game beyond money.

Game good. Needs time. You no have time or patience, will have bad game experience.
Review help explain why game may not be good for you and how some people are dumb dumbs.

There are a lot of misconceptions from new players concerning Warframe. Warframe is a beefy game, and a grindy one at that (a grindfest if you will). To get into the meat of it and truly understand everything there is to it, you can be looking at a few hundred hours worth of investment.

One of the most predominant, incorrect ideas amongst new players is the belief or assumption that Warframe is a 'pay2win.' It is not. It is a pve(Player vs. Environment) focused game and there is no 'pay' to 'win.' There isnt even a 'win.' This is not a game that you can get into for a measly 20 - 50 hours.


It needs time, and if you think buying cosmetics or paying for accelerated build time is 'paying to win', you probably don't like the game to begin with. What will you win? Killing more enemies in a coop, pve? Looking cooler than the average joe? Saving time?

Warframe is a game of patience and what you can 'pay' for is Acceleration or Cosmetics. Either of those 2 are not what will allow you to win. You need to have patience. If you don't you'll probably see it skin deep and see the 'premium currency', which can be earned through trading, you'll see the boosters, which are not necessary and should only be used in moderation, or you'll forget this game is free to play to begin with. You see the 'premium', you see the boosters and you may think "oh a f2p that wants my money" without realizing the horror that other f2p's can delve down into.

The absolute trash Warframe is. Allowing players to earn premium currency through trading for free. They should only let players buy it with money, right?

Time investment and consistently playing the game is what can make you 'win' or really 'progress' further in the game to eventual end-level content and the all important FashionFrame. F2P, in general, is to expect to have a higher need for time. If you think Warframe requires too much, I urge to to spend time in War Thunder and see how 'good' f2p can really get.

The Market System is a vital part of the game. You can never spend a single dime on Plat (the premium currency) and still get it quite easily through trading. Granted trading may put off some people, there are vast amounts of resources and popular 3rd party websites (particularly Warframe.Market) that can make trading as easy as a click of a few buttons.


When it boils down to it, Warframe is NOT a game for everyone. You either like it or you don't. If you try to rush things and gogogogogogo, you're going to have a bad time. You try to avoid trading, you're going to have a bad time (well your wallet at least will). If you rely on 'friends' to feed you mods and such 24/7 to avoid the grind, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A BAD TIME.

Warframe is a game of PATIENCE. Thats what I tell to my friends who are interested in this game. It is all about patience. It is possible to rush this game, granted you got deep pockets, and do just about everything in a few months; however, that would most likely be nither fun nor a quality gaming experience.

Warframe is not a Destiny 2 alternative (for me at least and how I see it). The new player experience is slow, a bit lacking, and could use some expounding upon to explain the player to the game rather than kicking them out there by handing them the entirety of it at the end of the tutorial. Maybe that is one of the things that turn people off. Who knows.

Some people, or the community, praise Warframe players for being so nice. Me, I have no compassion, in a normal sense (hear me out).
I play the game, if a new guy is having trouble, I point a finger in the direction, and I'll be damned if they choose to listen or not. I get on, I play, and I mind my own business.

Play it and make your own judgement, but I am telling you now, you're going to have a hard time coming to a good conclusion if you spend chicken-scratch amount of hours into it. If you don't have the time, your experience will be subpar in a game where grinding is a bit of a norm.
