Mar 14, 2024Foamstars's gameplay mechanics are very good and unique. The map design and scenery are eye-catching, and the characters have much charisma. While we have a very worthy experience, its longevity will depend on how well it treats the community and whether it becomes a game that endures.

Feb 12, 2024FOAMSTARS from Square Enix is an interesting competitive game that borrows its surface-level gameplay concept from Splatoon while offering deeper and more intriguing gameplay underneath led by solid upgrade and buff systems. Unfortunately, the lack of meaningful solo missions does hurt the game, as it feels like half a game made it to launch.

Feb 29, 2024FOAMSTARS is a game of two extremes where not all the foam and style in the world can hide the lack of substance. It shows signs of variety and depth, but ends up being shallow. Its short matches are fun, but they don't keep you engaged in the long term and the repetitiveness in its PvE mode gets tiring before the player sees the best it has to offer.

Feb 11, 2024FOAMSTARS is a fun party shooter with chill vibes and vibrant expression that just needs a few additions to be truly great. The foundation is there, Square Enix just needs to tweak the formula a bit before it is worth recommending without hesitation.

Feb 16, 2024Foamstars definitely has some charm to it, but the general lack of polish in the gameplay department and shoddy single player can bring the experience from initially impressive to ultimately underwhelming.

PLAYMar 5, 2024There’s fun here, and you can maybe add a point if you got this for ‘free’ on PS Plus. May be worth checking on later, when hopefully it’s scrubbed up a bit. [Issue#38, p.98]

Edge MagazineMar 21, 2024From its questionable (albeit largely ignorable) microtransactions to its inconsistent lore, Foamstars feels about as sturdy and enduring as the substance that powers it. [Issue#396, p.118]
