10 Best Free-To-Play Video Games

10. Warframe

A game with a meteoric rise over the years after Digital Extremes rejigged its structure to be free-to-play, Warframe is a mix of third-person PVE shooting and melee combat, with the majority of time being spent fighting AI enemies.

There are a few ways to fight other players, but they’re not the focus of the game. You run through levels gunning down and slicing through enemies at a steady clip, collecting resources to unlock better gear and weapons along the way.

As for the titular Warframes, they’re semi-alien semi cybernetic suits your character can don to take on a new skill-set before changing up your tactics for the next mission.

Changing suits will then drastically alter your gameplay experience, as you’ll fill a different role in a team depending on how you’re dressed. The Loki suit offers a stealthy approach with invisibility, for example, whilst Valkyr takes on a more tank-like, high damage output role.

The Warframes could have easily been an over-complicated mess thanks to the amount of stats, checks n' balances that go alongside each one, but the many nuances in their appearance and usage save them from such a fate, giving Warframe a really engaging, pretty unique hook.
