What are the best Let’s Play series that you have seen? Looking for something to watch while I’m exercising.
Rycon’s kenshi roleplay is by far one of the best, I watch a fair amount of these. It’s not just a let’s play, it’s a full on roleplay with story

I second rycon. His roleplay is top tier and he has a lot of dif games he does. Namely cataclysm dark days ahead, ark, kenshi, and rimworld. I’m working through his 100+ playthrough of innawood atm
I like Game Grumps. I don’t even watch them for the games they play; Dan and Arin are just funny as hell. It’s like watching RiffTrax/MST3K but for video games. Literally watching their Space Quest V play through right now.
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.
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.
