At any point in a young adult’s life, ‘escape’ probably crosses their mind after a rough day at the office (or a rough one in the kitchen, as work tends to elude recent college grads). The pull for adventure is strong, especially when a glance at your Facebook wall features some long-lost acquaintance posting pictures of their recent trip to Amsterdam or wherever they were sent for their graduation gift — lucky bastards.
Hearing lots of buzz about Warframe but you don’t know much about it? No worries! This basic primer has all the info you need to hit the ground running and become a badass space ninja in no time!

“You are lucky, in a way. You got to hide down there for so long. But now you have to deal with it all alone.”
I’ve been watching Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden for a few months now and always had a passing interest in it, but had yet to get my hands on it.

Welcome to This Is Not A Review. In these articles we discuss general impressions, ideas and thoughts on any given game, but as the title implies, it’s not a review.
