Crozekiel,

If you like old school shooter games (sometimes called “boomer shooters”), check out Civvie11.

Let’s Game It Out always has good vids. Basically all of his videos are bangers, even if it’s about a game I wouldn’t otherwise enjoy/watch something about.

This will always be the best Let’s Play series.

This isn’t far behind, though.

Lichtblitz,

“Pete Complete” is just amazing in everything he does. Very well planned and narrated let’s plays with the goal of achieving 100% competition of a game in one playthrough.

I particularly enjoyed the Mass Effect series. Mass Effect 3 is almost complete now.

He also played Mutant Year Zero, XCOM, different RimWorld expansions and more.

Rycon’s kenshi roleplay is by far one of the best, I watch a fair amount of these. It’s not just a let’s play, it’s a full on roleplay with story

Milksteaks,

I second rycon. His roleplay is top tier and he has a lot of dif games he does. Namely cataclysm dark days ahead, ark, kenshi, and rimworld. I’m working through his 100+ playthrough of innawood atm

Nyla_Smokeyface,

Call Me Kevin’s videos are golden. I’ve rewatched his Comedy Night series so many times. Iconic. His Sims videos are always a riot.

One of my favorite videos of his is this video he made in “The Movies.” The final result is at the end of the video and it is a glorious experience.

I’ve also been watching a lot of short horror game playthroughs from Markiplier and Kubz Scouts, like the ones where they play 3 random scary games. They both have an episode where they play Bad Ben and it’s so good. It’s the first game in both episodes. The game is fucking hilarious, has a specific feature that I think all horror games should have now, and actually has a really cool ending. Apparently it’s based on a film by Nigel Bach.

Markiplier’s video

Kubz Scouts’ video

I also enjoyed watching them react to analog horror based games, especially ones inspired by The Mandela Catalogue. The aforementioned Kubz Scouts video includes Maple County. There’s also The Fear Assessment and the video Markiplier did on it is…chaotic. I couldn’t stop laughing.

Giantbomb did a frankly incredible series around Kerbal Space Program a few years ago. It starts off incredibly goofy and by the end it’s still incredibly goofy, but also deadly serious.

There’s a couple that I really enjoyed. I haven’t watched an LP in quite awhile.

(Mater)Welonz’ “Judgment” LP is probably my favorite. She was thorough.

I also like Christopher Odd’s (Mr. Odd) “Prey (2017)” LP.

Welonz is fantastic in general. Always thoughtful and thorough and seems to approach whatever game she’s playing with great respect. She even did a watchable LP of Return of the Obra Dinn, which is extremely rare.

I haven’t checked her channel in a few months because for a while she was doing mono-Dragon Age, but at a cursory glance it looks like she has a moved to a more varied upload schedule these days, which is good.

comicallycluttered,

TeamFourStar’s Pokémon nuzlocke was pretty hilarious.

If you like Rimworld the Pete Completes series is pretty good. He puts a narrative focus on his playthroughs which makes them super watchable!

SBFP suffer through Omikron the nomad soul. This LP is definitively the best way to experience that game

All the David Cage sbfp let’s plays are fuckin gold. I don’t watch playthroughs anymore but I will go back and watch those every now and then

AlmightyTritan,

The editing of the LP also really helps the vibe of !Sanity at Risk!

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.

badgerson,

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 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!
