"Warframe"
 
   Space ninjas against space pirates (Grineer), space salvage merchants (Corpus) and zerg (Infested). And a few other things. Warframe is PvE, from one to four player co-op against various computer controlled enemies in a variety of mission types. It's definitely a grindy progression kind of game. I've seen it described as Monster Hunter with more fun combat.

Did I mention space ninjas?

This one's a free to play game that you don't need to pay to win. Everything that you could pay real money for can be had in-game with the exception of cosmetic stuff. The primary purpose of real money, aside from turning a profit for Digital Extremes, is to do things faster. For example, most weapons take 12-24 hours to make while warframes take 3.5 days. Paying real money gets you them almost immediately after you click the "pay" button.

The primary mechanic that keeps the game from being pay to win is called Mastery. As you earn affinity (experience) with different warframes and weapons you also earn Mastery points for your account. Since affinity levels cap at 30 you have to play with lots of weapons and several warframes to unlock the best weapons in the game. It doesn't matter how much money you want to spend; the game simply won't let you buy or make top tier weapons until your account's Mastery level is high enough for them.
