I linked a Warlockracy video because I really enjoy his choice of games and presentation.

Other channels I really enjoy: Mandalore, Grim Beard, Civvie11, Oboeshoesgames, and Boulder Punch.

If you can’t tell, I like longform, scripted and edited videos on older games and niche games and mods.

    Robbaz - He is a Swedish guy I have watched for a very long time now. He has the ability of turning what could be mundane games to watch, into wild and crazy stories. Highlight series he’s done are Skyrim, Kerbal Space Program, and The Sims.

    He posts a lot less than he used to on YouTube, but they’re great everytime he does.

    Pre-warning - His videos contain a lot of dark humour, so may not be for everyone.

    Ive been watching oxhorn recently he does narrative videos for the fallout franchise that are great and interesting

    AstralSpiff and backseat streams are speedrunners that absolutely wreck games in ways no creator ever intended

    Karl jobst and summoning salt are good at narrating speedruns and speedrunning history

    Fondly remember the yogscast I think they still do TTT videos

    If you want a really good narrator of an old game krugsmash is your man/dwarf he does great with dwarf fortress

    For video game development there’s horrorscoped

    I swear I have the weirdest watchlist lol Ive been mainly watching youtube politics and yet I have all these too XD

          The content has changed for sure. But for me it hasn’t been about the game they play for a while, I like the people and will watch them in anything. And yeah, the drama fucking sucked.

    I’ve been watching videogamedunkey since I was a highschool freshman. I love his humour, style, and his insights in games and other media.

    I don’t watch that much Youtube nowadays (don’t have much free time), but when I do, I enjoy these channels the most:

    • Girlfriend Reviews: Entertaining, funny, and wholesome reviews. Really like their dynamic;
    • GPLaps: Very interesting simracing channel, you get regular simracing content but also some very interesting videos about historic races, cars, tracks, etc., that he recreates with mods;
    • Kilian Experience whenever he feels like uploading. Has been branching to other stuff aside from gaming lately;
    • LordKnight: Fighting game-focused channel. Initially subscribed because he was the Millia player outside Japan but switched to Baiken since. Still has good, insightful content.

    On PeerTube, there’s BoilingSteam, who mainly focuses on PC gaming on Linux. I’d like to get a better feel for what’s on there regarding gaming channels and whatnot. If you know any you’d recommend, I’d really appreciate if you could mention them.

    Dunkey, Let’s Game It Out, NakeyJakey, Digital Foundry, and Gameranx are the ones I watch most regularly.

    The Architect of Games and Razbuten are fun ones if you like video essays, and Keenengraz is great for finding lots of insane free games to play. ThatGuyGlen has some cool, short docu-style videos on the making of indie games that are really well done.

    I’m sure I’m forgetting plenty, but those are some of my favorites, for sure.

      2nd for AmbiguousAmphibian. My wife isn’t a gamer, but she loves to watch his videos with me. He always works in some absurd narration and social commentary.

    Christopher Odd, hands down.

    Discovered him around the time XCOM2 got released, because I was looking for someone to learn a trick or two from. Learned a lot from how he plays tactical games, but stayed for his calm and down to earth way (I absolutely can’t stand that hyper, over-the-top crap that a ton of Let’s Players do). Have also discovered the one or other gem through his videos.

    Can only recommend!

    Oh, and I also watch a ton of stuff on game design due to an interest into game development and recently did a blog post on my favourites there. To quickly summarise that: The Architect of Games, Design Doc, Game Maker’s Toolkit, GDC, Noclip, Razbuten

      I love Christopher Odd too, he has a great pick of games and always pumps out content pretty quick. Also highly recommend.

      Seconding KoS. Sometimes to learn, sometimes for just a cosy 45 minutes of listening to someone who sounds shockingly similar to the Canadian girlfriend I sort of lived with at the turn of the century.

    This one is a little niche, but Harstem is a Starcraft 2 pro player who does a couple great series of videos related to the game. He’s a lot of fun to watch because he has a deadpan sense of humor and an incredibly chill voice.

    I’d start with his “Beating Grandmasters with Stupid Stuff” video where he pretends to be AFK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLKc5wwo7a0
