Awesome!!!

EDIT: Now that I have given a little more hours to the game, I think I can give a good glimpse of what this game is about and why you should ( or not ) join the (not so much) space ninjas.

TL;DR: Play until The Second Dream, where the game starts making some sense.

Waking Up in Space: You are completely lost and that's kinda the point, you have awoken from a long cryosleep and are still figuring everything out, powers, movement and enemies who have no chill.You’re not supposed to know what’s going on, and honestly, that’s part of the charm.

Learning Curve? More Like a Cliff: The game doesn’t exactly hand you a manual (There's the wiki though, you should use it). It just kinda… gives you a unmodded warframe and a kick on the back. You learn as you go, which is a polite way of saying, “prepare to get lost, a lot”.

Free-to-Play? Actually, Yes. One of the best parts of this game is the free-to-play part, because it is really free to play, you don't have to pay anything to progress or to stay on the fashionframe trend. You can farm Prime parts (Enchanced Parts for Warframes or Weapons) and trade them with other players for platinum, the in-game paid currency.

The Grind: Addictive, Speaking of grind… oh if there is grind. You’ll be slaying endless waves of Sargas-ruk for that small potato, farming resources, and crafting gear. But somehow, it’s fun. The thrill of finally building that Warframe you’ve had your eye on for 3 weeks and wait 72 hours? Priceless and 7k Cryotic.

The Story: Wait, There’s a Story? Yes, beneath the layers of grind, there's actually a story! And it’s surprisingly deep. Stick around until The Second Dream quest, and that’s where the game takes a hard left into “wait, what just happened” territory. Plot twists, emotional gut punches, and moments that will have you questioning your entire existence.

Warframe might just be your new addiction. Just don’t expect to understand what’s happening right away. Or ever, really.
