Examples include: Scary Game Squad, Gamegrumps, Team Double Dragon, and the like.
I just find let’s plays a lot more entertaining when multiple people are playing and chatting than when it’s just one person rambling. But these are weirdly hard to search for!
Check out neebs gaming on YouTube. Excellent and very funny. I also highly recommend their subnautica series, not to give too much away but it follows a different script than the story in the game. It is amazing, and the quality of their videos is top tier.
If you like old adventure games, ps_garak on twitch often streams with his friends
You could watch best friends play. They dont make new content but if you havent seen any of it there is plenty to watch. Sad they are gone though
Worst Premade Ever (WPE)
They are British, one of their editors is from New Zealand. They threatened to replace their editors’ livers with live badgers if they unionized. 10/10 would watch the surgery.

If you take a little time to get into them, the early “Let’s Game it out” videos are hilarious. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RPEtoJ9ZA8
If you don’t mind a group of friends playing multiplayer, there is Stumpt. Depending on the game they’re playing, you either get some commentary about the game or in the case of videos like their Game of Life 2 videos, they kinda just talk about whatever because they’ve played it so much.
Jelloapocalypse plays games with his friends. He also has highlights up on his main channel if you’d prefer something more edited.
Well, not dedicated to that, but mr samuel streamer (mostly crusader kings and rimworld) has an alt channel where he shoots the shit with his fiance, and sometimes they play games together. They’re playing vampire: the masquerade: bloodlines rn.
How about co-op multiplayer? I’ve seen a few of those for Baldur’s Gate 3. Like Neil Newbon or Jennifer English. Neil plays with his friend Tom (whose surname I have forgotten) and Jennifer with her girlfriend Aliona Baranova. Except for Tom all of them acted in the game.
I do like let’s plays like that too sometimes - I’ll give those channels a try. Thanks! Though I may have to wait til I finish with BG3 myself, which could be a while :p
I mentioned single player games specifically partly because I personally tend to like those games best, and I like to watch let’s plays after playing the game through myself first, then seeing how different people interact with the game differently. I love watching people discover a game I enjoyed (which for me means mostly single player titles) in kind of the same way I might enjoy showing the game to a friend.
And anecdotally, I tend to feel like groups playing a single player game together tend to talk more about the game in a deep-read kind of way, or to talk about their lives, whereas groups playing multiplayer games seem more likely to talk about whatever is currently happening in the game in that instant, or it becomes mostly them joking and trolling each other. This is just my personal experience though, so it could be a function of the particular let’s players and streamers I’m familiar with. I’m sure there are exceptions to this.
I like watching Let’s Plays for the same reason as you, and while it isn’t a group channel I heartily recommend Welonz. She is very thorough and approaches every game with great respect, usually giving a summary of her overall thoughts at the end.
I found her because of her VTM: Bloodlines LP, but her Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk ones are also fantastic.
If you like Game Grumps, maybe check out Oney Plays.
Will do! Thank you for the suggestion :) I hadn’t heard of them before.
PlayStation Access have some really nice let’s plays. The Skyrim Christmas special is amazing!
I like RKG! They play Dark Souls and those types of games- one of them plays, the other two chat about the lore of the game or whatever. Right now they’re playing Elden Ring!
Loading Ready Run streams a lot of stuff. And you might like the dessert bus for hope fundraiser happening in November.
Specifically I would say the following streams fit the bill:
- Let’s Nope (horror)
- Let’s Watch (Steam garbage)
- Rhythm Cafe (rhythm games)
- Talking Simulator (hard to describe)
They play single and multiplayer games together, but the Runawayguys. They mostly do local multiplayer games, but recently they’ve done some specifically single player games like the Metroid prime remaster.
Sounds good! Thank you. I’ll give them a try
