Hey the bots are gone and F2Ps can communicate! (aka you can actually play the game now)

Pros:
- very fun gameplay
- 9 classes that you can choose depending on your skill set and desired engagement level
- can have impact regardless of skill
- great visual style
- lots of skill expression, mechanical, can play for thousands of hours while still improving
- fun to interact with other players and play with your team (or the other team)
- contains tech that you could only possibly know from other people that requires hours and hours of practice

Cons:
- RANDOM instakill mechanic in casual that heavily favors certain classes
- official competitive takes hours to queue and is extremely sharp, favoring certain classes heavily and often resulting in complete blowouts
- no longer receives balances but desperately needs it
- no new content
- has a very difficult time breaking 200fps on modern CPUs despite the graphics looking noticeably aged
- important configuration and settings not being default and often behind console commands
- contains tech that you could only possibly know from other people that requires hours and hours of practice

Fun gameplay overall but gets extremely repetitive by design. Play for chance at loot or grinding resources/standing.
Fun content trivialized by powercreep, trivial content made more trivial because devs want to be noob friendly. (Early game piss easy. Late game is auto if you follow meta)
Balance changes very questionable at times. They'll nerf something just to powercreep it into oblivion in the next update anyways.
New content is almost guaranteed to be a buggy mess with softlocks and lost progress until the hotfixes come in a few days later.

Main appeal: Repeatable, mindless grinding and progression. Decent story. 10/10 world building and art direction. Lots of gameplay variety (e.x. mining, fishing, bounties, different mission types, etc.) Customization, create your own builds, fashion, spaces, etc. W immersion when playing story, quests, new areas for the first time.

Game runs very well. High performance despite looking beautiful. Lower graphics settings for older machines too.

Players almost never communicate because they don't have to (game easy) and strict chat policy. Might make some friends but you'd have to be the one reaching out and probably take things off platform.

Extremely strict EULA and enforcement (ex. 1 slur = gone forever) and that causes a lot of fear because of other rules with purposeful but arguably overbearing enforcement especially regarding what is considered offensive (see sabuuchi situation, Nezha situation, people getting temp restricted for calling stuff gay). Treat the game like talking to strangers or coworkers I guess.

recommend amazing game.

I still like the game a LOT but I do have some issues with it. Having the orbiter instead of a lobby makes the game feel like it is constantly on going and while in the levels you really feel immersed in the game. Good music, fun movement and objectives.

The graphics are great but there are noticeable low resolution texture's, stretched out, and overlapping meshes. On top of this, there are a TON of game breaking, out of bounds, and soft-locking bugs especially in the empyrean missions. A lot of the weapons that are meant to be unlocked at the same stage in the game are just awful while some of them absolutely cleave through all missions and enemies. They tried nerfing the top AOE weapons but there is still a painfully obvious meta and it just made a lot of people unhappy.

Despite these obvious issues, I would still recommend this game. It is incredibly fun to play and the recently added void weapons are actually fun as they are really powerful but also difficult to use. There have been buffs to some of the weaker mods to promote different playstyles, and I'm hoping they will do the same to some of the weaker warframes and weapons.

Account termination very scary. Many many bug. Big problem. Balance changes good. The market is on fire. New content is pretty fire.
