I\u2019ve no idea what I\u2019m doing, but it\u2019s working. I spam every ability at my disposal, not quite sure what they do, but I must be doing something <\/em>right when a sea of pink foam cascades from my weapon across the map floor, combining with the other patchwork pockets of blue and pink bubbles. My suds have engulfed a player on the blue team, so I whip out my surfboard and ride the effervescent waves up to them hoping to land a devastating smack that will take them out. I would look over my shoulder to see which poor journalist I just battered, but Foamstars <\/em>is too fast-paced for those sorts of shenanigans. I\u2019m quickly back on my board, looking for my next frothy victim.<\/p>
I didn\u2019t have high hopes for Foamstars <\/em>following its reveal earlier this year. <\/em>Comparisons to Splatoon<\/em> dominated the conversation around Square Enix\u2019s party shooter, and its general \u2018foam party\u2019 vibes made my over 30 bones creak.<\/p>
However, after getting a taste of Foamstars <\/em>at Gamescom 2023, I am somewhat of a convert. This sugary sweet shooter is as wholesome as it is adrenaline-pumping, but I fear the bubble-party may burst not long after it starts.<\/p>
