I made a review when I had around 200 hours on steam and possibly 150 ingame or something like that. Now I have 750 hours of mission time, have 1000 hours on steam and I made it to Mastery Rank (MR) 23. What can I say that no other player said about Warframe? I don't know if there's anything new or different, but here's my review.

First of all, the story is amazing, I love it from start to finish with all it's lore and sidequests and whatnot. The quests itself are sometimes less intuitive (as far as I remember the ones that were in the beginning, but a lot got reworked, never replayed them since 2016-2017), but overall easy to complete, they are made to be completed. There's the open worlds, now 3 of them: Plains of Eidolon + Cetus on Earth, Orb Vallis + Fortuna on Venus and Deimos + The Necralisk on...well...Deimos basically. Each of them are unique, offer you unique ways to customize not only your warframes and arsenal, but your playstyle overall. PoE unlocks custom melee weapons, 2 new warframes and an endgame run that is called Eidolon Hunting. OV unlocks new warframes, new COMPANIONS (MOAs) and also kitguns wich are custom secondaries. Deimos gives you the opportunity to play a totally different style, called Old War Style with the newly introduced Necramechs (or should I say reintroduced based on the story?). Personally, I don't really like the latter, for me it doesn't seem like it's warframe anymore from inside a necramech. Probably that's why I never got my hands on one so far except for the time I used it during the quest.

The missions are in a huge variety. There's your classic starchart missions, you complete them, unlock new nodes, new planets and so on. But wait...not only you get the satisfaction for completing each and every single one of them, but you also unlock new mission types like Arbitration and the Steel Path. Both of them are more on the higher level side, especially steel path wich is meant to be the replay of every mission with 100 level higher enemies, giving new drops as a reward.

There's a battlepass! But wait...did you think "Ah...great...that's why it's free...microtransactions..."? Good for you, but no worries. You can play this game without spending a dime on it! As one of the creators said, this game, rather being Pay2Win, it's Pay2Accelerate. Literally, the only thing you can buy using the premium currency, platinum, that you can't farm, is cosmetics, like warframe and weapon skins wich will not put you in any advantage, maybe except for fashionframe, but that's a totally different story. Oh yes, and the so called battlepass is entirely free, you just need to unlock content by playing through the game to be able to complete all three, daily, weekly and elite weekly assignments.

Gun- & Weaponplay is absolutely fantastic. The mechanics involved in the gameplay, combining your mods, weapons and warframe abilities on top of your movement skills is something that has basically no limit. Combos are infinite, so you can adopt any kind of playstyle. For me personally, being flashy, dodgy and dealing tons of damage is what makes me feel unstoppable and super nice.

The warframes themselves are unique...well...not entirely...there's some totally unique playstyles, but in general there's a few categories: dps, support, control. The first one is obvious, you deal damage, you're happy. The support frames either protect you by healing, increasing health, shielding, increasing the shields, armor and so on...or they increase stats like ability strenght, weapon damage, attack speed, movement speed, so basically they are either buffers or debuffers. The last ones are the ones that dominate the battlefield. Control frames can be both supportive and dps. Depending on how you build them, you can have huge amounts of crowd control, like slows, stuns, stutters, debuffs or ticking damage. Those are probably the hardest to master, at least for me. Another important note: everything works, just need to find the correct mods and playstyle for yourself.

Platinum. As I mentioned before, that's the premium currency of warframe. Platinum is basically the only currency that matters when it comes to player-player interaction. There's the easiest way to get your hands on platinum...you buy it...but don't worry, it's not the only one, let's just get this out of the way. The best deal is to wait until you get a 25/50/75% off coupon from daily login rewards, then it's really cheap. For me personally, I bought a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of plat once I got a job, but didn't spend really that much and bought all my favorite skins so I can save up my hard-earned plat that I got the other way to buy prime parts and progress with my MR. And now...enter PRIME parts. Some warframe, weapons and companions have prime versions. These are basically versions with improved base stats and ability stats. They look more premium, but these are not money-exclusive. There's a mission type called fissures wich are done to open relics. Simple: you go in, kill enemies that turn into corrupted ones, get the reactant they drop, complete the objective and choose one of 1 to 4 rewards (depending on the squad size, meaning if you are a full squad of 4, you can pick up any of your squadmates' drops from their relics too). Those parts you can sell on a site called warframe.market, you log in through steam, you set up your profile, put out the offer, wait for someone to message you ingame, you trade the part for platinum and boom, congratz, you're into the midgame already. Simple as that.

And last, but not least...the community. Probably the best that I've seen in forever. Everyone is willing to help you, they stick together, DE (Digital Extremes) listens closely to what their community wants and tries to give them that, streames, content creators, DEVs, all are kind and super nice to have a chat with and just enjoy the game. Of course, occasionally you'll see your average m0r0n of a player that you'll report (keep in mind, DE takes reports seriously, so don't get tilted and report everyone for failing missions, alright?), but those are in every community, and most likely they're just havin' a bad day, not being real m0r0ns and sh*theads.

So...after almost 5 years of playing on and off...after 1000 hours on steam...do I recommend warframe? Totally...the only negative I can tell you is probably the time consume since in the first few days you'll be satisfied with only 30 mins of play, but once the grind gets real, you can really get trapped in the game for hours and even days...so don't forget that it's a game, there's a real world, and you're cool. The gameplay, the mechanics, the graphics (game looks amazing even after like 8 years or something), the community, basically warframe as a whole means a lot to me, since I was a competitive person and less of a player that plays games that don't involve competition. So warframe...hope I'll be able to review my edit in another thousand hours and say that it was worth it!

If anyone is about to start but feels overwhelmed, don't worry, hit me up on discord @ mauzy#2311 or here on steam...or even ingame @ Mauz_y and I'll gladly help you out :)
