LoL decided to cut out Linux players, so I’m cutting it out. MineCraft is owned by Microsoft and they force Microsoft accounts on players, so I’m not interested. But I kept watching videos from those games, which keeps their popularity up, and I personally don’t want to support this.
I recently discovered “Shortcat” who plays Mario Kart. It’s very fun to me as a person who never had any experience with Nintendo outside of watching speedruns of their games. He has an amazing charisma that feels very homey, but entertaining.
Another one I absolutely love is “Ceronesthes”. He plays Conan Exiles and owns cheaters SOLO while they have cheater-infested clans. It’s wild. Sadly (for me) he also posts guides, which is what I don’t like. I personally like pure content, but that’s me.
Honorable mentions: “Zera”, “geokel”, “Xentain”, “Pheeon”, “Baked Bongos”, “KinglyValence”, “Earlybird” (she has really cool game analysis vids)
Northernlion is great for indie games. He plays all sorts.
“Let’s game it out” usually plays indie games in a wrong way making a spectacle out of all of it. Check it out
Ross Scott, the Freeman’s mind guy, has a series called game dungeon where he plays old games and talks about them. That being said he does come off as old man yells at cloud a lot of the time.
They channel is less about “playing” games and more about finding and talking about old/forgotten/indy games… but there’s RagnarRox.
Mr. Fruit plays quite a few Indie games on his main channel and a lot more on his ‘Mr Fruit Plays Channel’.
LethalFrag and Dolphin Chemist are both good.
They are both playing a lot of backpack battles right now since it just entered EA, but they play a variety of games.
Fanhots plays Heroes of the Storm if you like Moba’s but not the “hugest ones.”I’ve discovered a few games thanks to “Aliensrock”. He popped in my recommendations playing Peglin, and I liked how he edited the videos to know wtf was going on, to someone that doesn’t know the game. That’s what enticed me to buy some of them on Steam, too.
edit: about the type of games, it’s usually puzzles or RNGs.
Goodtime zone. They just play whatever they feel like. I second the accursed farms game dungeon as well
JoshStrifeHayes- plays a whole bunch of MMOS
ZChum- engages in extreme shenanigans on rust servers,seriously watch this guy
InfernoPlus- halo and dark souls modder
The Drifter’s Broadcast- Xcom 2 challenge runs
ChilledChaos- oldtuber who mainly plays social deception games (town of Salem, amoung us)
