What are the best Let’s Play series that you have seen? Looking for something to watch while I’m exercising.
Let’s Game It Out is a gem to watch whenever he uploads.
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!”
Their horns of fear playthrough is hilarious: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1RPEtoJ9ZA8
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.
Trespasser by Research Indicates is honestly so well written that it feels like director’s commentary rather than a let’s play.
Bobbin Threadbare’s Deus Ex. It’s half let’s play, half a series of lectures on various topics relating to the game.
For me a good let’s play is about the game and representing it, not about about the personality doing it.
That Trespasser LP is what motivated me to play through the game myself, and I have no regrets. That game is insane. It’s awful, don’t get me wrong, but crazy ahead of its time. They basically tried to make a VR game two decades before VR gaming became a thing. Without Trespasser, we wouldn’t have Half-Life: Alyx. Research Indicates’ LP is a fantastic way to experience this obscure but fascinating title.
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.
If you mean of all time, then I’d say “How to survive the first night in Minecraft” by Lewis and Simon.
I do yearly rewatches of Until Dawn - Scary Game Squad. It’s five slightly drunk guys keeping teenagers in a horror movie alive. They played this at release so all their guesses and theories during the game aren’t influenced by what they saw on the internet.
The Scary Game Squad is fantastic, and Until Dawn is their finest work. It’s a perfect marriage of a group of guys who know all the horror story tropes and clichés and a game that is deliberately built around them.
“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.
Minecraft SMP/Survival Island/Shadow of Israphel - Yogscast
Additionally, their Tekkit series.
Actually all of their old Minecraft stuff is amazing. I loved their playthroughs of various adventure maps as well. There’s a playlist full of those somewhere.
Was checking if anyone had mentioned this. You gotta pay respect to the classics. The whole moon series was great.
Oh man, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a bit. The Tekkit series was so funny

SBFP suffer through Omikron the nomad soul. This LP is definitively the best way to experience that game
The editing of the LP also really helps the vibe of !Sanity at Risk!
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
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.
Been a while since I watched SGF. I really like the obscure games he brings to publicity, like MODE and the Philips CD-i interactive medias.
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 loved his dearly premonition lp, will have to check out illbleed :) Thanks for the tip.
If you like Rimworld the Pete Completes series is pretty good. He puts a narrative focus on his playthroughs which makes them super watchable!
I like Many a True Nerd’s Tale of Two Wastelands series. It’s a mod that merges both Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but the host is a bit of a fallout super fan so he tours obscure areas of the map and explains a lot of weird little facts about the lore, easter eggs, and development of the games.
He’s got a lot of different series that are great watches. His CKII run with Perun is particularly good.
ProZD plays games is a standby for me. He’s pretty funny and he’s a real voice actor so he often narrates jokes in character voices.
