I like Game Grumps. I don’t even watch them for the games they play; Dan and Arin are just funny as hell. It’s like watching RiffTrax/MST3K but for video games. Literally watching their Space Quest V play through right now.
I profoundly enjoyed UberDanger’s “Journey from 1-60” . An adventure though WoW Classic full of insanity, grinding and virtual gambling. Nothing like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dXLG-Wf93s
i like spooky games so every so often i’ll rewatch supergreatfriend’s ILLBLEED let’s play. audio quality is dubious but the game itself is ridiculous and sgf plays it very well.
yeah i haven’t watched his recent stuff but i’ve been a fan since the first demo friend episodes, it was the deadly premonition lp that really sold me though. i’ll also sometimes rewatch the life and times of bully demise to appreciate the craft of the storytelling lol
I really enjoy the “Was it good?” series by Josh Strife! I guess technically they aren’t long plays, he plays through older, fondly remembered games, trims the recordings, and adds great commentary. The videos are still quite long though. I especially enjoyed his commentary of Tomb Raider (the original).

…I guess I’ll also mention, I also do some let’s plays with my friend 👀 but I don’t think they’re really anything special. We just enjoy retro video games and chatting!
His early ones with Anthony are definitely my favorite. The Messenger series is amazing, and I can’t see the game without hearing “I’m Ninja Bobbyyyy!”
I’m not really a fan of Let’s Plays, so it makes sense my favourite is CowChop’s Shadow of the Colossus Let’s Play. After around five episodes they abruptly decide to rent an RV and road trip to the Grand Canyon, all while still “playing” the game.
Chip and Ironicus did a whole series on the metal gear series which is worth a watch. I’d also recommend watching Tietuesday dunk on that awful Wii U PacMan game
Chip and Ironicus in general are just fantastic, especially when it's a REALLY stupid game (in the good way!) like Wonderful 101. Ironicus just losing his shit at this next absurd thing never fails to make me laugh.
Personally, I really like watching Nilaus play factory games. I enjoy playing the games to a point but he puts forth an amount of effort that I can never bring myself to emulate and it’s really satisfying even to just watch. Satisfactory, Tectonica, DSP, etc
