Is it worth to start Warframe in 2025?

I was searching for some multiplayer game to play with my friends, once the game we used to play is entering a bad phase and we don't enjoy it that much more...

I was a BIG fan of Destiny 2 years ago, played it every day and really enjoyed the dungeons and raids.

Besides, I REALLY love to create builds or optimize people's builds online, and I really believe that destiny gave me enormous ways to do that with multiple characters.

But destiny 2 is another game that is in a strange phase, and me and my friends don't want to waste so much money in a game just to really be able to play the game after all.

I always heard that Warframe is kind of a totally free Destiny, but I don't know anything about the game, neither if it is true that I don't really need to spend real money to get everything.

So, is it worth to start it in 2025? The game is in a good shape today? I will have dungeons or raids like I did have in destiny? You have freedom to play or create your own build without being behind everyone? The lore os worth learning? I have so many questions...
