Introduction

Warframe is a co-op free to play game set in a post-war future dominated by different factions. You are woken up by the Lotus, your friend and your guide. She begins to reveal your true warframe powers and so you begin the tutorial.

Community

I will start with the most controversial thing regarding the game right now.
So, you may or may not have noticed how good and how friendly warframe's community is.
And you may or may not have noticed how beginner- UNfriendly this game is.
Well, in my opinion, these two things have a connection.
You see, let's take a simple and straightforward game like Minecraft, Roblox, Counter Strike, Fortnite etc..
Those games do not require patience and reading to understand them so many people that haven't developed a civilized personality yet tend to play those games.
When those people decide to try something new, like Warframe they get very confused because of the amount of information they have to consume and they don't have enough manners nor patience to at least understand what's going on so they give up. All you have to do is ask, no matter how stupid the question might seem, you're new so it's good to ask questions. And don't get me wrong, not all people from those communities are the same. I also play Fortnite, Minecraft and other things and that was my experience so far. And some of you might say that because those games are very popular, users have that kind of behaviour but isn't warframe also popular with it's 20 million registered lose...uhh Users?
I am sorry if I offended people but that's my explanation about the community being so good and why this game being begginer-unfriendly is a good thing.

Gameplay

The gameplay is very well thought and has been made in such a way that you seem like a god so you don't realise that the missions are actually repetitive. This is a very different game because at first, the gameplay seems boring because you do no damage (if you advance in the missions very quickly, so this might not apply for everyone) but once you realise how builds/modding work and the amount of weapons out there, you'll be dealing lots of damage in no time and that feeling is very satisfying, making you forget about the shape of an enemy or level design (Can't deny the fact that those are important too)

Warframe is pay to win
For new players, these micro-transactions might seem like a necesity but I can assure you they're not. If you're a heavy grinder you might not need platinum at all except for Item Slots. And keep in mind that this is a free to play game so the developers can't really sustain themselves and build and update a game for free.
And besides that, the microtransactions seem pretty fair to me. You get them only if you're in a hurry because platinum is fairly simple to obtain once you get the hang of it. And speaking of platinum, I will also want to speak about..

Trading

Thanks to the trading chat and warframe.market this game has developed one of the most complex trading system I have ever seen.
This is the same with gaining platinum. Once you get the hang of it, you'll never buy overpriced things and you'll be able to make even more platinum. All it takes is patience. You buy a thing for 15 platinum, you sell it for 20. You buy something for 20, you sell it with 25. And so on. (aka investments)

Story-Spoiler Free

Well, we know about the introduction and that guy Vor that wanted you and stuff but hey..there's a lot more to the story than that.
The story starts developing during the quest Stolen Dreams, where new questions are being asked and then there's The New Strange where new characters are introduced and the questions start to make sense now and then there's Natah, the quest which in my opinion drove this game's story on a very VERY good way. That quest answered to most of the questions people started asking and after all it was cool. But yet another question started popping "What's with the dream word?" Well, that is answered in the first cinematic quest "The Second Dream" which was also A VERY VERY good quest.
And so on. The only quest that has not fully reached my expectations is Chains of Harrow. That quest had a very interesting story but I feel like it was not really part of the actual story but it was totally worth playing. And considering the aftermath, I would say this quest is definetely going to have a sequel.
I don't have a favourite quest but if I were to say which are the best parts of the story I would choose the end of The New Strange to The Sacrifice (present as of August the 7th 2018)
Also, nice cinematics, very nicely done and animated.

Grinding
You may have heard that this game is grinding only, which is true but again, going back to the "Gameplay" the fact that the game makes you seem like a god, also makes you forget about the grinding. Of course, that doesnt mean things can't get frustrating when you try and try and try and you don't get what you wish you would get.

Ending and conclusions
This game is definetely worth trying if you're willing to spend a while doing some research on the wiki and asking other players for help.
And also
Space ninjas in space fighting people in space and you also have a space machine in space and you can fly around with it and you can also fish and mine stuff.
But come on...Space ninjas


♥♥♥♥♥♥♥....space ninjas... And don't pay for plat cuz Ninjas play free (imagine that being said with a Nerf guy's commercial voice)
Sorry couldn't resist not saying something silly.

Thanks for reading my review I hope you have a nice day!
