Destiny, but free.
Destiny, but with a better story (basically almost none)
Destiny, but-
The first thing you'll say when you start Warframe's tutorial will probably be along the lines of "HOLY SH** how is a free game this gorgeous?"
36 hours later, bleary-eyed, the last thing you say before you lose consciousness will be: "Can't sleep... need 2 more neurodes..."
It was said a thousand times about Destiny: a grind, but a fun grind. And where Destiny purports to be a fully-realized $60 game, then charges you another $40 every six months to even keep playing the content you've *already* unlocked, Warframe is all-free, all the time.
It's daunting at first - famously, very little is explained, and that not well. One must focus on doing missions and ignoring the locked or inscrutable aspects hovering in every nook and cranny. And they recently bolted and entire NEW game onto their game, a free-roaming Diablo-III-style overworld crawl and a thousand new ingredients unique to it for you to grind alongside the mission-based planetary nodes.
That grind is a blast. Leaping, lasering, machine-gunning, hacking with flaming greatswords or crackling electrical whips, cling to walls and slamming down for massive damage... it's a joy to play. Each of the 30+ Warframes has a unique playstyle and mechanic, some seemingly torn from the wild, demented postings of amateur fans (including a frame which changes elemental damage based on how you color it, and a frame which adds a completely functional music sequencer and *dancing battle mechanics*). Weapons can vary just as wildly.
Free to play, fun to farm.

Basically, buy Warframe. For zero dollars.
