This game won in the 2017 Steam Awards: Labour of Love for a reason. As much of an immersive, and exciting Cooperative free-to-play game as it is, the grinding and farming experience is also intense!

I won’t go through much detail of the main quests and missions that drive the plot, but that was one of the first factors of the game that drew me in. I was a player who started the game thinking “Wow, it‘s so cool!“ then eventually coming to ask questions as to why we are called Tenno? Why are we able to swap warframes? Who is the Lotus? The main quests answered these questions, and I was satisfied at that. Plus I nearly cried finishing the Second Dream quest.

Countless number of weapons, warframes, companions and mods exist for the game, with new additions being added every so often. Heck, I found myself unable to get rid of my Rhino because of how good he is, until I make a Prime variant of it. But all of these come at a cost, which is time and effortless grinding through same missions over and over again. My only comment is that the companions list is quite small. Currently there are only 4 types which are Sentinels, MOAs, Kubrow and Kavats. I hope DE plans on adding more variants of them in the future, as it’s quite easy to max-rank them after 3-4 hours of grinding through lvl 30+ missions.

Completing the Solar system and it’s planets can be a hassle, unless you are playing with friends/randoms. I started late into the game, and where several of my friends were already Mastery Rank 12+ in the game, so having their help in guiding me through the general mechanics really helped. (You know who you are – Thank you! ❤)

The game really hit the Sci-Fi genre, especially for the new Relay released, Fortuna. I favor the graphics, and designs of the warframes and weapons too, and moreso if my laptop didn’t run on potato. Lovely audio and BGM supports the atmosphere, from fighting Grineer in Sedna to roaming the Plains of Ediolon.

Despite completing nearly all the nodes of the Solar system and quests, there will always be something to do. There’s Alert Missions, Invasions, doing Bounties for Syndicates or even max-leveling all the new weapons and Warframes you craft. DE also publishes events from time to time, like the Nightwave event for this month. It’s never a dull moment for Warframe.

Outside the game, there is a market for trading Prime and other rare blueprints for Platinum. The trading community is generally nice and welcoming imo, as I have never been vulnerable to hacks/scams (yet). I’ve made over 250+ Platinum selling all the extra stuff that I didn’t need.

I’ll probably burn out on this game once I hit rank 30, but until then – Warframe deserves all the positive reviews and hype that it receives. But curse the farming mechanic, lol.
