For Khazgul: How Warframe Outdid Destiny Years Ago (Destiny)

Warframe did a lot of things right. Fluid play (in theory), interesting abilities, varied playable characters, etc.

Unfortunately the gameplay was plagued by control issues, "endless" gametypes relied largely on "fake difficulty" and the grind could be hideous.

Warframe was a lot of fun to get into. Building and trying new weapons, learning how to use new Warframes and fighting cool bosses was great. Continuing to play Warframe became really tiring though. The late-game grind is pretty intense, and really not fun after you figure out what to do. I spent an awful lot of time standing in a corner pressing Triangle over and over. Warframe's endgame is essentially the Loot Cave.

I quit before the Raid came out so I can't talk about that.

I know this post sounds pretty negative, but I fully recommend you at least try Warframe. The first 20-30 hours are a lot of fun, and after that how much fun you have depends on how seriously you take it. My recommendation : Mess around with some of the playable characters, make some cool/weird/gross-looking guns, play some endgame content, then move on. Consumed that way it's a good experience (and free!). Just don't get caught up in the Collector mindset.
