Stray. I dont watch people play games but I think the game fits nicely as a cinematic and its fun to play.

I like watching people play Super Mario World romhacks. Grand Poo World is big and the streamer who made it (barbarousking) is entertaining

There’s quite a fanbase for “No, I’m not a Human”. It’s a post apocalyptic horror game. It’s perfect to watch cause of the multiple endings and very simple gameplay.

If you like variety gaming yt you can check out youtubers like

Satiire, who tries to platinum random ps games,

Kong, that showcases strange (mostly bad) games,

Kedvuit, who’s got a great spirit and loves to showcase strange shovelware,

planet clue, which is also cool but I can’t easily categorize just yet,

Noah Caldwell-Gervais, if you want very intricate scripts and commentary

Open Clubs, who has the “Worst platformer ever” series,

Super bunny hop

It’s jabo and joov do fallout/skyrim content

Shagrots cave is pvc2 challenges.

Basement brothers does oldschool rpgs.

For “I just want let’s play games” I recommend checking out speedrunning marathons.

Highly recommend Voices of the Void

A semi horror/base management game where you’re a lone Doctor of Astrophysics on a radio signal listening station in the Swiss Alps, tasked with cleaning up the trashed base, maintaining servers, the site transformers running so you have power to lock your doors, and collecting extraterrestrial signals.

You may or may not be alone, if you can’t save the game, then it’s definitely more ‘may’ than ‘may not’.

Recently updated to v0.9 (unstable but functional) with a Christmas event active this month. Even as a game still in alpha it’s worth the pricetag, currently on itch.io under mrdrnose, believe there’s plans for it to end up on steam.

TearofGrace (TearofDisgrace on youtube) is a proper character of a guy, livestreams it at least once a week and recently put out a video of his exploits in v0.8

Rimworld

There’s a ton on the wholesome game bundle that are interesting.

I’d recommend Materwelonz’ Outer Wilds gameplay

WARNING: Play this game yourself first or you will be spoiled forever!

I really enjoyed watching Oxhorn play Silent Hill 2 remake, well, once he stopped smashing windows obsessively. Also enjoyed games like The Quarry, Until Dawn etc but they might not be your type of thing.

I liked ChristopherOdd’s playthrough of The Last of Us

He’s generally a good blend of entertaining and chill, with great video quality. Think he did part 2 as well.

The original NieR is best watched as an LP. I liked the old SBFP LP.

All of the old scummVM adventure games; Sam and max hit the road, monkey island, day of the tentacle, etc

For something more cinematic I’d look at platinum games like Bayonetta, god of wars, mass effects, gears, half-lifes, dark souls

I would avoid something really puzzle heavy like professor Layton or tactical like civ or Stellaris I enjoy watching/listening to people play games but those usually can’t hold my interest unless I’m playing

I’m currently watching videos of “The Last Caretaker”. Still in development / public beta, but nicely done.

Doki Doki Literature Club

The absolute strangest 6 and a half hours spent in front of the screen.

Thoroughly enjoyed a supercut of Jerma’s elden ring playthrough

That was some top tier second screen content
