8 Video Games That Were Only Worth Your Money AFTER Launch
3. Warframe
Warframe launched alongside the PS4 and quietly became one of the most popular free-to-play games on the market.
Warframe is one of those titles that, if you aren't an active player or part of the incredible community, you may have forgotten it exists. It has found incredible success and retains a dedicated player base through community feedback and consistent updates that make the game better.
You may be surprised to learn that Warframe is actually a spiritual successor to Dark Sector. What Warframe ended-up being, was essentially the original vision for Dark Sector. Following the latter's release and subsequent mediocre reviews, the team went back to the free-to-play MMO concept.
Ironically, developer Digital Extreme's had a tough time getting press coverage for the game because back in 2012 games media ignored free-to-play titles - unaware they would soon become the norm. After a slow start, Warframe has amassed over 38 million players and has won awards for Best Ongoing Game.
