Our take.

Warframe is my favorite game of all time, so pretending I'm objective about it would be pointless. I've spent more than 2,000 hours with it, including through some rough periods of my life, and I still come back after months or years away only to get completely hooked again. Melee, guns, solo, squads, ridiculous builds, hundreds of weapons and thousands of mod combinations — it lets you play almost however you want. The funny part is that after a few hundred hours you start to realise you're only beginning to understand it.
