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.

Not really a content creator, but rather a network of creators - The Yogscast. They're fun, they're all friends, they make me laugh, they're wholesome and cursed at the same time, I love em.

I like Quill18 as a non-hypey gamer who plays a nice array of games. He's mostly into stategic sims, but ventures out to other game types every now and than. He has a solid understanding of the games he plays, yet he doesn't cheese it.

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.

Girlfriend Reviews is fracking hilarious!

I like DarkViperAU. He's a GTA5 speedrunner, something I had never followed, but his explanations and general style is great for me. His "one hit KO" series, where he attempts to complete GTA5 without taking any damage, is a fun place to start. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAnJ4ZuTYaeGOdVzYfhfZUgjVcyCeYVwO

Real Civil Engineer for messing about in building games like KSP, Cities Skylines

Let's Game it Out for breaking games

The Spiffing Brit for finding funny exploits

Video Game Dunkey for reviews.

[–] morgiedama@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I second Let's Game it Out. Josh is insane

[–] SnowWomble@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Let's Game it Out

Soursweet

Fooster

Anarchy

There are a few more I watch sporadically but these are the main ones

[–] sp6@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you care about the technology behind games, Digital Foundry is fantastic

[–] Arystique@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] ADHDefy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bibeoboy@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

U Can Beat Videogames and quinbobin are two smaller channels I really like.

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

[–] buxtonwater@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] StubbNortzz@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[–] SecretMap@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Harstem is wonderful!

This is a bit obscure, but does anyone know any good German YouTubers? I'm trying to practice my language skills. :)

[–] Gigg44@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

For German YouTubers I can vouch for DiePixelHelden if you like mostly racing games

[–] Rompetomp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ChristopherOdd for playthroughs.

[–] patchymoose@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

He is the only streamer I actually like to watch. He knows when to talk, and when to stay silent and let the game atmosphere take the lead. He also has excellent taste in games.

[–] bear_delune@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Mandalore, Hbomberguy, AmbiguousAmphibian, Jwlar, The Dadliest Man, MattKC, Oxhorn, Joseph Anderson, Your Favourite Son, Summoning Salt, Noodle, Avalanche Reviews, Monty Zander, Boulder Punch, The Nth Review, King K

Maybe some others, but those are the ones that jumped out in my Sub list!

[–] Domiku@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bear_delune@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

100% the boyf tunes out on most my gaming YTer bullshit but enjoys AA, the absurdity and the Sims help 😅

[–] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Action Button. Great VERY longform reviews.

[–] Dream_state@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When's the next review though 🥺

[–] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't imagine how long it takes to make a 9 hour video.

[–] Dream_state@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Man's insane, but that's why we love him
