Warframe is an action-based co-op third-person PS4 shooter game developed by Digital Extremes. This game has been around for a very long time in the video game scene but has struggled to build up a consistent player base.

Despite the game not being very popular among gamers, it features very interactive gameplay and is a great addition to the third-person shooters available on the platform.

The graphics of Warframe are really attractive. The lack of context in the game may dissuade gamers but Warframe is a very polished game. People who haven’t tried it should give it a try and explore the alien in-game characters.
