Thumbstick Tuesday – 29th November 2022

Welcome to our Thumbstick Tuesday on 29th November 2022. How was your week?

This week has been a little quiet on the gaming front for all three of us. Work has been quite busy in some ways. Martin has lapped up some of the Steam sales, Brian got a bargain buy, and Ben hasn’t bought anything new this week but has been piling hours into Football Manager 2023.

What have you been playing? Let us know in the comments section or over on our Twitter page.

Ben

Ben has been a bit quiet with the variety of games this week although he managed to pump a ton of hours into FM23.

• Played
  • PC
    • Football Manager 2023
  • Nintendo Switch
    • Pokémon Violet
  • Xbox
    • Ghost Song

• Purchased
  • None

Ben’s highlight this week is Ghost Song on the Xbox. Old Moon has smashed it with their debut game and Ben is loving it. If you want to play it, it’s available now on Xbox Game Pass as well as other platforms such as Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

On the desolate moon of Lorian, a long-dormant Deadsuit awakens from slumber. Journey beneath the surface on an atmospheric 2D adventure of self-discovery, ancient mysteries, and cosmic terror. Explore winding caverns and acquire new abilities to unearth this alien world’s long-buried secrets.

Brian

This week Brian finished The Chant on PlayStation 5 and is now playing Aragami 2 on the Nintendo Switch. He also got a bargain buy with a new copy of Monster Jam: Steel Titans – Collector’s Edition as it cost him around £20.

• Played
  • PlayStation
    • The Chant – Finished
  • Nintendo Game Boy Advance
    • Dragon Ball: Advance
  • Nintendo Switch
    • Aragami 2
• Purchased
  • PlayStation
    • Monster Jam: Steel Titans – Collector’s Edition (see the below picture)

Brian’s highlight this week is discovering a Game Boy Advance game that he really enjoys. Dragon Ball: Advanced originally launched in 2004 on the GBA and is from developers Dimps Corporation. They’re still making games to this day such as Soul Calibur VI.

The game follows the story of the original manga series, chronicling a young Goku’s adventures across every story arc leading up to the battle against King Piccolo.

Martin

This week Martin mostly played Ghostwire: Tokyo on his PC. It’s been quiet with regard to variety for him as he’s going for that 100% completion on it. He did start playing Persona 4 Golden but wants to finish Ghostwire before getting stuck into a large game.

• Played
  • PC
    • Hidden Through Time
    • Ghostwire: Tokyo
    • Persona 4 Golden (started)

• Purchased
  • PC
    • Coromon
    • Dinkum
    • Lost in Random
    • Persona 4 Golden
  • PlayStation
    • Two Point Campus PS5 (Disc)
    • Persona 5 Royal PS5 (Disc)

Martin’s highlight this week would have been Ghostwire: Tokyo but that’s what it was last week. So for that reason Martin’s highlight this week is starting the PSP classic, Persona 4 Golden.

An enhanced version of the game, Persona 4 Golden, was released for PlayStation Vita in 2012 and Windows in 2020, selling 2.5 million copies worldwide; ports for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S are scheduled for release in 2023.
