In conclusion Warframe is a sci-fi looter shooter mmorpg you play as "Space Ninjas" with many different maps,factions,story quests and content to grind and enjoy.

As I have a great amount of hours in the game making this game one of my favourites for sure so I gave the detailed review bellow listed with some main pros and cons:

+Beautiful atmosphere design and story:This game has an absurd sci-fi story aided with countless side stories, single player quests, ambiances, an entire solar system to play on not even counting open world maps and their stories. On top of all this you also have amazing weapon and warframe designs, skins and customizations to a point most players after deciding they are strong enough play the game to be fashionable and to customize their living spaces in the game.

+Countless gamemodes and methods to get stronger: From gamemodes that you destroy/defend objectives , assassinate bosses ,hacking terminals so as to spy and leak enemy information , using spaceships in space to fight with otherships, open world maps and even the singleplayer quests; they all give upgrades and improvements throughout your journey; apart from the themes,atmosphere and designs they have. Some you might play more some you might play less as you progress but basicaly the game gives you a chance for improvement wherever you are in the game; from a new player to a veteran.

+Reworks and buffs of old metas and weapons/warframes: Before there were a couple of main meta warframes/weapons but now thanks to new updates, add-ons and reworks any warframe and almost any weapon is useful. Now you can find your own style and preference of playing. This trend will go on as the game keeps growing. In fact some overpowered weapons/warframes do not even need any crazy trading or premium currency. This also results in some cons.


-Powercreep:This honestly was a greater issue back then but now it has settled down a bit , with powercreep I mean that when new reworks and upgrades of such warframes also comes with increased difficulty of the game, the upgrades,add-ons and reworks are never only just for the quality of life you get from your weapons-warframes but to also prepare you for the upcoming challenges,enemies and gamemodes that have increased difficulty. This leads to a crazy Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) trend which hits with the big updates of the game.It forces you to rework and reprogress on your already "perfected" weapons and warframes not being so perfected anymore. Thankfuly Digital Extremes gives you not much but some free additional resources on such updates for free for you to rework on some of your outdated builds when they take such decisions.


-Toxic Playerbase:Some players are really kind and supportive but the polar opposite also lives in the Warframe community.This game has some of the elitist/biased players that has harsh options and approach on players that do not think the same way or do the same as them. Even though game got updated so well to a point any warframe or weapon has a potential of being strong people might judge you for the warframe or weapon you use or from a simple message you type. The fact that this game is not PvP oriented and some players being so toxic disappoints me. Its literally a game where you could solo everything in PvE and you do not AND cannot fight any real enemy players unless you prefer to fight on PvP gamemodes which does not give any great rewards and contain mechanics whatsoever either. In fact these gamemodes were quite literally DEAD. Recently PvP gamemodes got updated and some do play it due to new players migrating from PvP Looter Shooter games.

-Bugframe:Generaly harmless and goofy bugs which still happen after a decade of updates, some actually do mess your game up leading you to waste and abort missions but these are rare to find.

Warframe is the only MMORPG I have stuck with relentless of the cons I counted. Like any MMORPG out there Warframe is some sort of a lifestyle if you get yourself dedicated into, I would play more for sure. If a new potential player is reading this Id say its a worth at least a try if not an entire dedication for it.
