What are your favorite gaming YouTubers?
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.
The big three gaming YouTubers I watch right now are Hutts, ProJared, and jacksepticeye.
None of them take themselves too seriously, and love a good laugh. There's a mix of long form and short form content there, but it's all unscripted and most of it is largely unedited.
I'm a big fan of Baalorlord. He's a top-level slay the spire player with a bunch of world-record streaks, and his main channel is primarily spire play... which may not interest you if you're not into that game. But his archives and variety channel and Baalorlord plays channels have more game variety, with a strategy bent. Recent plays I can think of include xcom, cult of the lamb, brotato and vampire survivors, several deckbuilders other than spire, into the breach, slice and dice, and has a running series where he plays the old snes game chronotrigger.
Super melodious voice, very positive vibe... he never shit talks or makes excuses, top tier strategic analysis on the thinky games, great punny jokes and light atmosphere. Highly recommend.
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!
I enjoy all different genres of gaming. If I had to break it down to a few it would be Squad Based Strategy, a great story based RPG, or Rogue-Likes with a lot of replayability. This channel is aimed at mature audiences considering some of the game themes, but I try to keep it light, focus on the story and as long time viewers would know, "Set The Vibe." Lights off, headphones on, volume up, and just let yourself get into the game.
MMORPG focused entertainment and review channel. Second channel focused on reviewing classic games: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR9X2tT0_WVfuYO17vqstlA Attention gaming companies: I will NOT email you asking for free keys to your game, if you have received such an email please double check the address of the sender, you will likely see it is an imitation.
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.
Gotta be SovietWomble and his "Random Bullshittery" episodes!
It's usually 10-20 minutes of high quality sillyness realesed every month or so, although he's been doing some longform video essays too in recent years
(Warning: occasional strong language)
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.
Robbaz isn't just any Swedish guy.. he's the King of Sweden! 😁
He's by far my favourite streamer, the only one I don't get bored of after a while 🙂
Yeah I've been subbed to him since around 2012/13. Used to watch his Binding of Issac on and off where the banter was top tier as he got so good at the game it was all muscle memory.
I now watch his Super Auto Pets videos on and off as well which has replaced the Binding of Issac content.
In both cases he put out more content than I can consume so I'll always have content to watch.
They stopped in December just gone, but here is a site where playlists have been made for all the YouTube content.
Errant Signal does meta analysis on all types of games but focuses on obscure indie titles. He’s probably love/hate but I really enjoy his style and I love the obscure games.
Icaruslives does all doom mods. Easy 5-10 min vids on all the thousands of doom mods out there.
Game Maker’s Toolkit is all about analysis of game components with the MO of thinking about how to make a good game. Very interesting and well produced
Upisnotjump does a ton of shit but if you’re into the long form style he’s got a lot. Humor forward with quick cut editing so can be a lot but I’ve liked a lot of his stuff
Yeah another Hermitcraft fan (excellent taste btw). Ive been catching up on Season 9 and I'm challenging myself to watch every hermit's videos. I'm finding every time I watch a video by a hermit I thought I didn't really like that much that they're actually all absurdly entertaining. I'm right about to hit the climax of the RentheKing arc and I'm constantly laughing out loud.
The fact that there's so much talent on that server is insane.
I love KatherineOfSky, Let's Game it Out, Summoning Salt and recently started following Real Civil Engineer.
Except for Summoning Salt that makes INCREDIBLE documentaries about speedrunning, the others play the kind of games I enjoy playing, so I enjoy watching them too: building games, tycoons and all the like.
I am KatherineOfSky and I love to play a wide variety of games on my channel: from experimental indies to AAA titles, I tend to play what gives me joy. I truly enjoy trying out new games, especially those with a unique premise and interesting gameplay. Some of my long-term series include strategy and building games like Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, Anno 1800, Autonauts, & more! I am also very interested in voice acting, so send me an email if your game needs a voice! I can do a variety of accents. On a personal note: today my favorite color is orange, and I adore my kitties Araminta, Eleanora, and Emma.

You basically hit 3/4 of my list here.
Let's Game it Out - Josh is a gaming goblin and i'm here for it. RCE - He's hit or miss since his popularity really spiked, but his Infra and Mini Metro/Highways playthroughs were always fun to watch Summoning Salt - Great docu-style videos on speedruns. Shame his channel got hit for a 1-second clip of someone saying 'fuck'.
I also enjoy Vinesauce and his gaming corruptions.
Insym is great as well for his horror-style longplays.
Streamer on twitch.tv/vinesauce. Games, corruptions, pizza, scummy marios, voices, ducks, new york, etc. Most of the videos you see here are cut and edited from my live streams. Full streams are on this channel: http://www.youtube.com/vinesaucefullsauce I also make music. A youtuber that makes music?

Same!
I was just watching Let's Game It Out, and clicked on another video thinking it was another video of his and it was Real Civil Engineer (both were pushing the limits on Hydroneer, so I didn't notice it was from another creator).
Now I'm checking his old videos, especially those about Timberborn, at the same t ime I follow KoS Timberborn series. I'm a bit short on money now but I can't wait to buy it.
I just stumbled into grim beard. He good. Seems he’s doing the civvie bumper skits that are not really connected to any story.
Bingeing his library wile i wait for more content from Mandalore. I will have to try out oboeshouegames and boulder punch
Grim Beard heavily borrows from Civvie11’s style with an additional apathetic millenial (self aware) edgy affectation. Not as good as Civvie11 IMO but he plays different types of games.
Oboeshoesgames is the only short content on my list, more just existing for comedy.
I'm a Dark Souls addict, so Iron Pineapple, Ymfah, VaatiVidya, Lobos Jr, and The Backlogs are all weekly watches for me.
And of course the MVP, Dunkey.
I'm a Dark Souls addict Check out saint riot if you haven't already. I kind of lost interest in Elden Ring but I used to watch all his DS3 content back in the day. Great guy :)
I only play extreme games for extreme gamers, like myself. Email: [email protected]
I don't watch that much gaming related YouTubers but I usually like the content from Bricky, Mandalore and ambiguousamphibian.
Especially ambiguousamphibian's pseudo philosophical challenges are always entertaining. People should check out his: "Kenshin - The Torso Squad Experience" series.
You have found my Highlights Channel; lucky you! Here you'll find compilation videos of my live streams and other odds and ends stuff. Below, you can find a link to the Full Stream Channel (unedited, full length archived VODs) & Shorts Channel as well as links to my socials and such. Come say hi on Twitch and consider supporting on Patreon if you can! Thanks for watching!
Seconding the many people who love Josh, the mad genius of LetsGameItOut.
As for commentary, no one come close to the great Noah Gervais, who does long (and I mean looooooooooooooooong) form essay videos.
