the shattered Isles it's a stripped back light version of what you'd expect from a monster hunter but it plays really well and has a great gameplay Loop that will keep you entertained for a good while speaking of games that have been around for quite a while the Warframe is still well and truly kicking done your Warframe and dive into an ever expanding free world in this third person action RPG looter shooter that features a full Co-Op campaign with warring factions across an interplanetary system you know all the good stuff it's been around for a decade
