Life is Strange: Double Exposure is the fourth main entry in the Life is Strange series, which features action adventure games with a heavy focus on narrative and choices. It was developed by Deck Nine and published by Square Enix in October 2024.<ref>https://www.igdb.com/games/life-is-strange-double-exposure</ref>

Joe doubled up and played [[Balatro]] in the same streams. A playlist with all Joe's Life is Strange streams for all games in the series is available on Falco's channel.<ref>{{YTPlaylistCite|PLQnzq4WSk8hwlhD6wZvmlrWkFcrz2rl9e|channel=Falco|title=Joseph Anderson Life is Strange Series streams with chat|channel_icon=Falco.jpg}}</ref>

== Joe's Verdict ==
Joe liked the game, giving it a 5.1/10, but that it could have been a lot better and it was nowhere near as good as the first Life is Strange game. He felt the main conflict of the story was uninteresting and plot threads were wrapped up abruptly or in an unsatisfying way. He felt it was a very flawed experience but it was 'way' better than Life is Strange 2, True Colors, and Before the Storm.

Joe felt that many of the people calling the game a trainwreck only didn't like the game because Chloe Price from the first game didn't return, but said he was disappointed she didn't come back in any capacity. <ref>{{YTCite|1=https://youtu.be/4O7G2IcNsKA?list=PLQnzq4WSk8hwL3N9jg5spNBnOM7GMc9iD&t=17032|channel=Falco|title=Joseph Anderson Life is Strange: Double Exposure stream 5 with chat [12/21/2024]|time=17032|channel_icon=Falco.jpg}}</ref>

Alan Wake II

Lowpolyzoe: Joe's verdict section, edit on ALAN meme

{{GameInfobox

| play_state = Finished

}}

Alan Wake II is the second main entry in the Alan Wake series, developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games in October 2023.<ref>https://www.igdb.com/games/alan-wake-ii</ref> The Alan Wake games are narrative focused adventure shooters. In the leadup to playing the game at release, Joe played the other games & DLC in the series.

A playlist of all Joe's streams of the Alan Wake series is available on Falco's channel.<ref>{{YTPlaylistCite|LQnzq4WSk8hzPMJ23OScIXVY2eeaETgKx|channel=Falco|title=Joseph Anderson Alan Wake Series streams with chat|channel_icon=Falco.jpg}}</ref> During the streams, chat was constantly filled with the [[ALAN]] meme.

== Joe's Verdict ==
Joe overall enjoyed the game. He did not enjoy the combat much and felt there was little incentive to not engage in combat as resources are not very sparse, but noted he enjoyed it more than Alan Wake 1. He enjoyed the gameplay, exploration, puzzles, and visuals.

Joe liked the quality of writing, the plot, and characterization, but felt the game was constrained by its link to the first game. An important character in the first game receives more in-depth characterization but felt like a completely different character to Joe as a result.

He felt that the writing quality was in the 'top ten' tier of video game writing and not just "good for a video game, but good, period".

Joe did not like the game's ending, though it didn't ruin the game for him. He felt they'd written themselves into a corner, and wrote themselves out too easily in a way that did not feel earned. He felt the ending was not very conclusive. <ref>{{YTCite|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgSJ0CxytUs&list=PLQnzq4WSk8hyRciJ0P7qljR4etbiwMVWQ&t=21455s|channel=Falco|title=Joseph Anderson Alan Wake 2 stream 6 with chat [11/02/2023]|time=18932|channel_icon=Falco.jpg}}</ref>
