I’ve really been enjoying Duviri story wise and gameplay wise. I know I’ve had several people talk about how much they loved Zariman, I like the new modes but the tiles themselves are a bit much for me personally

    I really enjoyed release Railjack, despite the bugs. I miss a lot of how it was during its first iteration - the more frequent and more dangerous hazards, the way the forge worked, a stronger sense of teamwork, etc. But the NPC crew we have now is great, and the individual Plexus allowing people to bring some personal preference when they end up as client on the host’s RJ is welcome. It always felt like we got 25% of the game mode and were just waiting for… more. Then Corpus RJ came out and was a bit underwhelming. The Volatile mode is great, and boarding the ship for a one and done mission like an Exterminate or Spy is fine, but the Defence and Survival feel pretty meh and like a missed opportunity for meatier actually-Railjack endless missions

    Liches were fun for the first two or three, then got old very fast. I’m grateful for the QOL updates they’ve had over time

    When my interest in the game was petering out a bit because I had plateaued, Steel Path came out and completely re-invigorated me. It just felt like having somewhere where all the time spent grinding for strong builds mattered, and I was finally able to hop in somewhere where enemies were a match for me off the bat. We’ve power crept further over time with weapon arcanes, Galvanized mods, easier amour stripping etc, so base SP isn’t quite the challenge it once was, but we’ve gotten faster scaling content to make up for it. Each update to it over time has just made it better. The Acolytes are great - I love it when Violence comes in and fucks everyone’s shit up. The release of SP fissures let me actually enjoy cracking relics again

    The Zariman was just all round amazing for me. Story and lore wise it was exciting to finally get access to it, and the tileset is beautiful. The new game modes are amazing and I was super excited to get the blend of Operator and Warframe gameplay - again the feeling that the time I’d spent gearing up my Operator was rewarded. The focus rework and the new Eximus also really freshened things up. Overall the Zariman has definitely been my most favoured update and I’m not sure what could top it. A whole new starchart in Tau maybe?

    I’ve loved Duviri and got no complaints, other than some of the bugs and instability, which is generally expected with every update. I haven’t been able to put in the time I want in exploring Duviri itself and getting all the collectibles, but the SP Circuit has been amazing and great fun - easy to hop on and do for an hour or so and then hop off. Again it’s the pattern where I feel rewarded for all the time I’ve spent building up a full and forma’d arsenal

      I was on hiatus when railjack first came out, so when I came back it was the current iteration. I absolutely love rail jack though, I really wish they would add more content to it too
