What are the best Let’s Play series that you have seen? Looking for something to watch while I’m exercising.

    Side question: what are your favorite “non-obnoxious” ones?
    No youtube-edits, no memes, no forced jokes, just good gameplay and game discussion.

      If I might be so bold as to self promote my solo VR-only let’s play channel has long form gameplay with (almost) no edits or cuts and I discuss in depth the mechanics and art of the games I play. So far I’ve covered The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Half Life: Alyx, Hello Puppets, Cosmodread, After the Fall, Into the Radius, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted, Wanderer, and most recently Half Life 2 VR.

      I haven’t uploaded anything recently as my partner and I just got married but there’s a decent backlog of games and I plan on continuing my run of Half Life 2 once it gets back up and running.

        Thanks, yeah that’s the sort of thing I had in mind. To clarify sensible edits that improve the flow are totally fine as long as they are not the popular-youtuber types with flashy transitions, cutting to memes, screaming or making a face etc.

      Not really a Let’s Play, but more of an “I’m Playing“, but I recently discovered SourSweet’s DayZ series. He only edits for time and to add film score type music to heighten the drama, as well as narration. He’s calm and collected, very skilled at the game, and there are no memes.
