Out now
Characters range from an esports champion to a woman raised by penguins who believes she is one. The unlockable Baristador, meanwhile, comes with a weapon based on a siphon coffee maker (though it still just sprays foam)
Barely a week after the launch of Square Enix’s frothy multiplayer shooter, we find ourselves fearing for its future. During the search to find players to compete in one of the game’s rotating events, we find the time not just to cover the waiting area with spray but to assemble a veritable mountain range of bubbles – the Foamalayas, if you will. (And if you won’t, be warned that this is in keeping with Foamstars’ litany of nearlythere puns: the records screen somehow misses the open goal that is ‘Hall Of Foam’, preferring ‘Foam Of Fame’.)
