Thoroughly enjoyed a supercut of Jerma’s elden ring playthrough

That was some top tier second screen content

Doki Doki Literature Club

The absolute strangest 6 and a half hours spent in front of the screen.

I would recommend Noah Caldwell-Gervais’s Channel for excellent series retrospectives and long form scripted gaming content.

Josh Strife Hayes may be interesting to you either scripted retrospectives or twitch stream VODs

Finally the Let’s Drown Out series of videos by Yahtzee Croshaw and Gabriel Morton are some of the best Let’s Play content I have watched - though they are quite old now.

I’m currently watching videos of “The Last Caretaker”. Still in development / public beta, but nicely done.

All of the old scummVM adventure games; Sam and max hit the road, monkey island, day of the tentacle, etc

For something more cinematic I’d look at platinum games like Bayonetta, god of wars, mass effects, gears, half-lifes, dark souls

I would avoid something really puzzle heavy like professor Layton or tactical like civ or Stellaris I enjoy watching/listening to people play games but those usually can’t hold my interest unless I’m playing

Edit: a couple more recent titles to add are Pentiment and Kentucky route zero

I’d recommend Materwelonz’ Outer Wilds gameplay

WARNING: Play this game yourself first or you will be spoiled forever!

Highly recommend Voices of the Void

A semi horror/base management game where you’re a lone Doctor of Astrophysics on a radio signal listening station in the Swiss Alps, tasked with cleaning up the trashed base, maintaining servers, the site transformers running so you have power to lock your doors, and collecting extraterrestrial signals.

You may or may not be alone, if you can’t save the game, then it’s definitely more ‘may’ than ‘may not’.

Recently updated to v0.9 (unstable but functional) with a Christmas event active this month. Even as a game still in alpha it’s worth the pricetag, currently on itch.io under mrdrnose, believe there’s plans for it to end up on steam.

TearofGrace (TearofDisgrace on youtube) is a proper character of a guy, livestreams it at least once a week and recently put out a video of his exploits in v0.8

The original NieR is best watched as an LP. I liked the old SBFP LP.

Lil’ Indigestion has a great blind playthrough of Outer Wilds. I would also recommend About Oliver’s Outer Wilds series as well. They also have great playthroughs of Subnautica.

I think Research Indicates’ Jurassic Park: Trespasser let’s play from 2008 is still the greatest let’s play of all time. It was from the early days of high effort LPs on Something Awful, and while Trespasser is a very interesting game for multiple reasons, it’s also an unfinished mess that is better watched than played (if you could even get it to work).

If you like variety gaming yt you can check out youtubers like

Satiire, who tries to platinum random ps games,

Kong, that showcases strange (mostly bad) games,

Kedvuit, who’s got a great spirit and loves to showcase strange shovelware,

planet clue, which is also cool but I can’t easily categorize just yet,

Noah Caldwell-Gervais, if you want very intricate scripts and commentary

Open Clubs, who has the “Worst platformer ever” series,

Super bunny hop

It’s jabo and joov do fallout/skyrim content

Shagrots cave is pvc2 challenges.

Basement brothers does oldschool rpgs.

For “I just want let’s play games” I recommend checking out speedrunning marathons.

Rimworld

Just look up the youtuber Mapocolops. You’re welcome.

I liked ChristopherOdd’s playthrough of The Last of Us

He’s generally a good blend of entertaining and chill, with great video quality. Think he did part 2 as well.

Stray. I dont watch people play games but I think the game fits nicely as a cinematic and its fun to play.
