Had many hours in D1, picked up Warframe half way along. Warframe became my go-to game when Destiny was boring, and now it's just my go-to game anyway. It is a game where you can't expect to have everything given to you. A bunch of people here will say it's grindy and they're not wrong, but personally (now at 800 hours in) there are only a few things I had to properly dedicate my playtime to to earn. Most I could just get as I played. It's not particularly story driven, there are quests and the story in them is actually quite involved imho, but mostly time is spent working through missions on the planets, to access the next. The movement mechanics in it are quite a bit more involved than most games, and speed of movement is a learned skill- if you group up with experienced players from the start, you may find yourself being left behind As some have said, there are microtransactions, ofc there would be in a f2p. Most things, bar a few properly endgame items, can be bought for the paid currency and most things can also be traded with players (for the paid currency). Although in my opinion this doesn't make it incredibly pay to win. I haven't felt pressured to buy anything in my playtime, and the core focus of modding in the game literally means that weapons are only as good as the mods you use on them. Going and buying a new frame and a bunch of weapons straight out of the door won't help you that much. However in contrast to that, almost everything (bar about 40% of cosmetics) can be earned without paying- the Market ingame can be deceiving, but it really offers the 'blueprint' for a weapon for normal credits/coins/glimmer whatever, and then you build it from resources- or you could pay platinum (the paid currency) and just get it straight up. The game does have quite a lot of attention to detail gone into it, and in the later elements of the main story, some pretty mind-blam!- stuff if you go in blind. If it isn't the game for you, which it may well be, you won't get on with it. But if it is the sort of game for you, you'll fall in love. And as many others have said, it's f2p so what really have you got to lose If you end up playing on PC, hmu and I'll answer any more stuff you got- IGN TotallyNotAnEmu

Personally I like it very much. However, it’s not for everyone. You will read replies from both sides of the fence. No one is wrong or right in there opinions. That’s just what they are, opinions. Only you can decide if you will like it or not. I will give you this advice, the game will not hold your hand, so be prepared for some initial frustration. Just don’t quit before you get a decent understanding of the game. Give it an honest try, if you like it, you will have a game which you can sink a lot of time into. If you don’t, delete it and move on. Hope this helps.

Yes if you want to constantly grind and grind and grind and not even touch the tiddy biddy surface of its content.

Warframe is a very rewarding game. However, it's not pick up and play friendly. You need to stick at it. I love it. I have thousands of hours invested. I suggest trying it out, it's one of the best games out there. Learn to mod frames, weapons and companions. It's the one thing that helped me. Ask me anything if you do play it. In fact, there are a few Warframe players here that have heaps of knowledge to help you.

Dude try Warframe for 10 mins and realize the hype is nothing. The games mechanics/graphics are trash.

It is a good ptw free game.

Ehh Warframe and Destiny 2 are both meh. Gets too repetitive

it's pretty boring tbh.

It's pretty fun. The controls are a little clunky and it is filled to the brim with microtransactions that actually provide real in game advantages, but it's free 2 play. It always seems dumb to me how many people act like they can only play one game at a time. You can play and enjoy Destiny and Warframe, there's nothing wrong with that.
