Paul of Windows Central: "Warframe is the Xbox One's longest-running free to play game, having arrived in 2014. Digital Extremes still updates Warframe to this day, having just released the Plains of Eidolon expansion with a new social area and a huge open-world map."
Warframe is really cool, go play it.
I have been playing Warframe for a few years, and it is one of the best free-to-play games of all time. Normally in progression style free-to-play games, the developers put in artificial barriers to force you to spend money, but that does not happen in Warframe. What makes this better is that premium currency can be traded. That is unheard of in other free-to-play games.
If you are looking for a free-to-play live service game to play, then I recommend Warframe. Just proceed with the expectation that the game does not do a good job of explaining its systems or progression, so you will need to follow a youtuber who is dedicated to that game to help you out. In addition to that, the game is grindy but does not have some insanely low drop rate, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I think the lowest item drop rate is around 5.88%, not the 0.00000002% you see in other free-to-play games. There are also hordes of enemies, so it is not too difficult to get what you need. It is also rare to farm for something with such a low drop rate. These days I find myself farming the stuff with a 15-20% drop rate.
TNS: Warframe's 60th Warframe, Temple, is a rockstar that will burn up the stage and quite easily too with the help of our build guide.
With Techrot Encore on the way we were able to sit down with the weapons art lead and associate art director of Digital Extremes for a brief interview!
Digital extremes continues to deliver a great game giving DLC material for free. They managed to make Micro Transaction optional without hampering the progression of the game. Either way, I do not encourage micro transaction at all but in their case the game is free to play.
Digital extremes managed to create a great universe that deserves continuation in the PS5 and greater support from Sony. Their game proves commitment the community improving their core game. I'm glad Warframe continues to grow on the right direction.
