Warframe
Warframe is a fun and unique experience for a free-to-play game, and worth a shot if you have some extra time. While the game is still in an unfinished state, it offers a decent amount of content and replay value, especially if playing with a group of friends.

Warframe has a great foundation, but there's almost nothing unique or exciting about it. With a free-to-play scheme on top of how grindy the game feels in general (especially without a static group), it can wear on you even after a few hours of play. If you're looking for a new shooter, give it a shot on another platform if you can while the Xbox One bugs are being ironed out.

It's hard, though, to shake the feeling that the only reason this game is free to play is that nobody would pay money for something so scrappy and generic.

When a mission is underway, Warframe is at its best. Getting to that point is a challenge of menu navigation, unexplained features, and a lack of crucial stat comparisons when choosing weapons. Right now, Warframe is definitely worth your time, but a UI tune-up would make it worth your money.

Without new challenges for your combat abilities, the excitement soon dries up, leaving you without a compelling reason to keep playing. This free-to-play shooter is still technically in beta, so changes may come that make a substantive difference. But as of now, Warframe's interesting combat mechanics are too quickly overcome by the grind of repetition.

While Warframe seems interesting at first glance. It fall short when you really touch it, you will know that it is still far from ready and need a lot of polish.

Monthly content updates are promised, so hopefully some of this will be arriving soon. Digital Extremes has created something that's often genuinely fun to play, and given the cost of entry, Warframe's well worth a try if you're in the mood for something different.

In my mind, this is the best thing you can currently do for free with your gaming time, and shooter fans will love this game. It has it's challenges, and it's problems, mainly in the way of making new content feel 'new,' but it's a great game. So jump yourself out of your proverbial air duct, and give the game a try, you may be surprised with how much time you can lose in a game as great as this one!

I don't like to throw out 9s and 10s, but I had a lot of fun with Warframe. It had little to no bugs that I came across, looked great, and even managed to have a mildly compelling story. I highly advise grabbing it on Steam and going nuts!

Being a co-op game doesn't mean that you have to ignore a competent storyline (see Left 4 Dead), but Warframe seems content to establish its universe at a basic level: players are acrobatic robot-suited warriors fighting an alien invasion. Then it simply...
