Overall - I enjoy this game, but its lacking in a lot of depth. It has super satisfying shooter elements that just feel good. On the other hand: it lacks story elements, "end game" content consists of sortie missions, the steel path, exploiter orb, vault runs, and Eidelons. The last of which can only be done during specific times for a set duration.

For new players, the game is overwhelming with so much to do and focus on that it is almost unmanageable. It would help to be given a more specific path through quests, missions, or bonuses to aid in players reaching mastery level 10 or higher.

For veterans, the new content almost always ties into other content that may have been less enjoyable. Certain weapons and frames to complete the collection? Better dust off that K-drive.

The developers do a good job to strike balance, find ways to make the old and discarded weapons relevant again, and leave you looking for better ways to be efficient.

The community is overall fantastic with many great content creators putting out information to help aid players in improving their frames, weapons, and mod combinations who have less time to play the game.

With mastery rank being the primary way to "level" in the game, you are required to level up everything to a minimum of level 30 in order to progress mastery rank higher and higher. This comes with timelocked crafting and vaulted frames, weapons, and companions. This draws out playing over a longer duration.

If you enjoy shooters, an inconsistent amount of time to play, and just want to have a fun experience with friends, this game can be very fun. If you want something like destiny with an overarching story and longer missions, you may want to look somewhere else.

economy game of always building, always collecting, and always improving. easy to sink hours into as you pave a new line of conveyors
