What videogames are you playing in 2025?

and have very unfortunately been convinced to reinstall Warframe after years away from the game

Last time I tried (a few years ago) that I hadn't played for like, just 2-3 years, and suddenly instead if just being like a space ninja robot who goes to spaceships and bases and hits people with a sword until loot falls out of them, I was a person who owned space ninja suits, as were others (biiiiig change to the lore lol), who lived on a spaceship (!?!), there was a plot and a story and stuff, there were open-world planets I could and for some reason kind of had to go to, loot seemed to work significantly differently, and also I could do space combat stuff, and I had like 43 quests I was urgently supposed to do. I gave up after about 15 minutes of trying to understand what the hell was going on. It was quite of a pity because I really liked Warframe in Ye Olde Dayes.

Yeah, it is VERY overwhelming right now, and I remember very little of how anything works, but thankfully they've at least seemed to have removed a lot of the negative feedback loops (like live pets degrading). And there's three full main story acts that didn't exist back when I stopped, too. Not planning on dropping any money into it, but I'm hoping to enjoy playing it again for at least a little bit.

And yeah, the lore is crazy and hard to follow. Especially since some really important moments apparently only happened during live events, so if you want to see them, you have to somehow find old youtube videos to watch of other folks experiencing them?
