I'm going to be real with you I have an extreme love hate relationship with this game warframe has been something sitting in my back pocket for years at this point starting in 2015 with a PC account that only played up to venus then in 2017 my current MR 27 account on playstation began and the rest is history.
Warframe at core is enjoyable the gunplay and movement has always been insanely satisfying to me (otherwise I wouldn't have invested so much time into the game) but that's not really where my issues began my issues with the game started to crop up around the launch of railjack an update I was pretty excited for, Only to then be met with an update that launched half finished with key features either missing or straight up broken I've never seen such a disaster from a smaller studio before in recent memory and I believe its where my heavy scrutiny for the dev team came from I really do think they have the best of intentions with incredible ambition but they lack the time, budget and ability to meet those ambitions and I truly think this is Warframes biggest hurdle and its potential downfall.
Numerous updates have launched either completely broken or missing features that were promised The old blood was a buggy mess with a grindy main objective that took months of updates to bring to an acceptable state, The Duviri paradox launched with badly explained mechanics and plenty of bugs that ruined the experience and plenty of runs (my favorite was the bug that never loaded the next undercroft stage so you lost all your progress).
I don't believe warframe is a bad game but I do believe the current team needs to re-evulate a lot of their ambitions and current content the fact railjack was touted as a tentpole release only to be met with no additional expansions aside from the already promised corpus railjack proves that they have a strong FOMO mindset in regards to updates and I believe this is what will ruin future updates not the overambition not the general lack of polish the fact they consistently abandon ideas and content in favor of what they perceive to be superior and better for marketing.
