Warframe

After over 3000 hours and reaching True Master rank I can honestly say that most impressive thing about Warframe is that it is a totally different game at 50, 500 and 3000 hours, and somehow they managed to merge those different games into one cohesive package. Amazing achievement.

Pretty fun, lots of content to go through, lots of playstyles to enjoy. Everything can be earned for free (aside from some cosmetics, of course.) All around enjoyable. Just make sure not to burn out.

One of the best movement systems in gaming paired with an ever-expanding massive roster of characters to play as makes for thousands of hours of entertainment. Whether you want to play it as a third person shooter, melee, or be a space-wizard, you can do it all. The story is a fever-dream of metaphors, vaguery, and made up sci-fi nonsense. But it's nonetheless engaging in a "WTF is going on" sort of way. There are characters you will love, and characters you will hate. Whenever new story content is released, it tends to answer one question and raise two more. The game was rooted in slower, methodical stealth gameplay, which still shows in the early missions. However, it quickly evolves into a fast paced horde slaying game. Pick your weapons of choice, your Warframe of choice, and battle endless legions of enemies in pursuit of your objective. The monetization is a bit of a negative mark, with what feels to me like some cheap mobile game tactics when it comes to crafting timers and paying premium currency to rush them. It's easily overlooked if you're patient, but can be offputting for newcomers. You can also earn the premium currency via trading with other players, so it is possible to play for free while still buying all the character/weapon slots you need, etc. That said, with the literal thousands of hours of entertainment I've gotten out of this game, I have no problem buying platinum every so often to show support. All said and done, this is an easy recommendation from me. The amount of variety in a free to play game is unmatched. If it looks entertaining: try it, it's free after all.

space ninja game where you shoot a bunch of things with AoE guns that explode meanwhile you're an orphan from space that can use war machines and there is and there was a bunch of wars that got you ptsd induced space trauma and also there's a bunch of time loops and you can farm like 123576 million different weapons and warframes (ITS THE TITLE WOWOWOWWW!!) and in one of the time loops there's like proto warframes in 1999 stuck in a loop where the Y2K new year causes a nuclear explosion and it ♥♥♥♥♥ everything up but goes back to the start of 1999, oh yeah and these proto warframes things are just people and you can e-date them and make space love I AM SO CONFUSED
