Although at times this game feels like Grinding Simulator, it is in fact a fun game. It mixes the standard "Space shooter" game mechanics with elements of Rogue-like games with its procedurally-generated maps that manage to feel simultaneously fresh and familiar, with some awesome parkour sprinkled in throughout. Not to mention, the story of the Tenno and the individual Warframe's places in the lore, not to mention the codecies of character development of the different sanctions and syndicates, all adds up to one of the most immersive games I've ever played.
9/10 needs better RNG sometimes, but otherwise, it's more finished in its beta than some finished games today.

Edit: Still good, even seven years after my original review.
