Having played this game since shortly after update 7, I strongly recommend this to anyone that is a fan of the genre.

Let me start with the fact it is NOT pay to win. Everything can be earned in game aside from the weapon/frame inventory slots, colors, and other things to help you look your sharpest. However, things can be sold to other players for the currency needed to buy these things.

The story line is still in development, but is still worth the read with all the scattered lore. Broken down between the 4 factions; Tenno, Grinner, Corpus, and Infested. Each with interesting backstories and little side notes that add to the depth of the universe.

The gameplay is smooth, easy to learn and over all very beautiful. Even on low graphics, the way everything looks is very well done. None of it feels half assed or overdone in that regards aside from some things still needing a slight PBR touch.

It does become a bit of a grind for materials but each weapon and frame built has that sense of accomplishment with it making it all very rewarding in the end. With the amazing variety of gear, it is something that can always keep you busy. With the mod system for gear customization, and the fact they are random drops, you always have something to do and little tweeks to make to get that edge.

Keep in mind that it is still in beta and all details of the weapons, frames, enemies, mods.. everything.. can and might change at a moments notice. I suggest that you don't get one or two faves and stick with them. Mix it up and if they change something in a way you don't like, you have other weapons to fall back on.
