I'll make a more detailed write-up later, but here's the gist.

Free to play. The market is a little confusing and it can look very pay to win at first glance, but Warframe is completely free to play and it is possible to get everything in the game (outside of very few cosmetics) without spending a dime.

Grinding is fun. Yes, the entire game is one long grind as can be expected from a "looter shooter", but the base game play is fun so while some grinds are in fact just that, a grind, there is plenty of "grindy" content that is simply fun.

The story is phenomenal. It takes til about Uranus for the story to really dive into the lore of the game, but boy is it a ride. I don't want to spoil anything so that's all I'll say about that.
