PS4 / PS5 - 2/7/2024
A 4v4 online party shooter from Square Enix that has you battling to foam as much of the city as you can while avoiding your opponents traps and weapons. Use foam to build terrain, creating slippery surfaces to surf around the arena at high speed, help defend from enemy attacks, or create vantage points to take out opponents. And most importantly, to foam up the opposition!

Review coverage
