The holiday season of 2022 will bring fantastic games likePokémonScarlet & Violet, and plenty of YouTubers will be taking to their channels to show the newest games in all their depth.
Since the beginning of the platform, YouTubers have played games for viewers to either use as walkthroughs or simply sources of entertainment. A great let's player is charismatic and fun, while also adding a bit of their own knowledge. It's a style of YouTuber that can both entertain and teach people using the hobbies they love. Which Let's Play players are truly worth the sub?
TFS Gaming
Fans may know TeamFourStar best for their work creatingDragonball Z Abridgedand their work onHellsing Ultimate Abridged,two stars of the old Abridged series fad that began withYu-Gi-Oh! Abridged.
Since the conclusion of bothDragonball Z AbridgedandHellsing Abridged, TeamFourStarhas largely migrated to TFS Gaming,their Let's Play Channel, with over 740k subscribers. The genres they choose from are pretty eclectic, but they recently finished a playthrough ofStranger of Paradiseand did a full tabletop round ofAvatarLegends. Sometimes, they even do skits as their old DBZ Abridged characters.
Marriland
PopularPokémonYouTuber Marriland is one of the faces of the "PokeTuber" scene. Not only is his channel a great source of content for the franchise, but he also has his own website for upcoming content: Marriland.com.
Marriland does both very traditionalPokémonlet's plays as well as some specialPokémonchallenge runslike Nuzlockes and Wedlockes. His runs are always very informative about the game and cover every base. Fans of the TCG might also enjoy Marriland's long-running channel, as he devotes himself to converting the cards as well as the video games.
Madame Wario
For those who don't want to stick to a particular franchise but are still about brand loyalty, Madame Wario is a Let's Player who devotes herself mostly to Nintendo games.
Casual fun entertainment and good vibes are the name of the game for Madame Wario's stream. In addition to her YouTube Let's Plays of popular Nintendo games, she also has a presence on Twitch. Fans can look for streams ofFall GuysorMario Party to enjoy if they're looking to help support Madame Wario.
Shofu
Shofu will be known to most viewers strictly as a PokeTuber, but he's actually a fairly eclectic YouTuber and Twitch streamer that covers a wide variety of content.
First, Shofu is an avidSuper Smash Brosplayer. Shofu fans will find anything fromSmash Brosguides to interestingPokémonexperiences likeROMhacks and Uniteguides. Additionally,he has one thing that no other Let's Player has: rap music. Shofu's anime and video game raps are surprisingly good and a unique aspect of his channel.
Yuni Gaming
Yuni Gaming is a YouTuber from Finland who has mostly focused on Let's Plays her entire career. This makes her more specialized than many YouTubers in the field, who usually put out additional other genres of gaming videos.
Yuni Gaming plays a vast variety of games, from cult classic titlesto big blockbusters like her current playthroughs: Outlast and Resident Evil. She's a smaller YouTuber with about 2.4k subscribers, but she's a fun personality who is certainly deserving of the same attention as some of the larger YouTubers out there.
Markiplier
Markiplier is one of the most popular gaming YouTubers on the platform, and while he generally falls under the category, some of his content teeters the line on what is or isn't considered a "Let's Play."
Markiplier has examples of both the traditional full Let's Play that covers a game from start to finish. He also has shorter segments that merely highlight different games. Regardless, there's something for everyone in his videos. If the viewer can appreciate Markiplier's distinct personality, they can appreciate most of his gaming content.
PokemonChallenges
PokemonChallenges is a German YouTuber known for beingthe best Nuzlocker in the world, and his work is pretty exclusively related toPokémonlets plays and highlights.
Along with his other channel PchalDaily, PokemonChallenges covers playthroughs of very difficultPokémon ROMhackslike Emerald Kaizo and Garbage Green. All the while, he uses the difficult Nuzlocke rules to make the games even more challenging. His channel and social media are certainly for mature audiences, but it's a great experience for hardcore fans of the franchise.
MasaeAnela
MasaeAnela is a YouTuber who primarily focuses on Let's Plays of Nintendo games. Most recently, she's completed the final stretch of beatingYoshi's Woolly World, the spiritual successor toKirby's Epic Yarn.
MasaeAnela currently has 128k subscribers, and hopefully, her playthroughs ofYoshi's Woolly WorldandLet's Go Pikachu can get her to an even greater count. She has a great voice for storytelling, and her videos are enjoyable for any Nintendo fans who want to watch a fun and relaxing playthrough.
NintendoCapriSun
NintendoCapriSun is, true to their name, a YouTuber that specializes in Nintendo content. Like many other Let's Players, he's also a Twitch streamer. In particular, NintendoCapriSun streams pretty consistently on Tuesdays and Fridays around 7 pm EST.
NintendoCapriSun will certainly play newer games, like his playthrough ofMetroid Dreadthat began around the time it came out. However, he's mostly willing to play whatever he enjoys the most at the time. Which is, in itself, part of the charm of his channel. NintendoCapriSun is unapologetically NintendoCapriSun and is always true to himself in the content he puts out.
Chuggaaconroy
Chuggaaconrooy is one of the most famous names in the Let's Player scene that has remained active for quite a while. He's best known for his boisterous personality and great energy.
While Chuggaaconoy has played multiple genres from multiple platforms, his passion seems to be Nintend0-leaning. His recent Xenoblade Chronicles 2 playthrough lasted for 220 episodes, each totaling at least 20 minutes to upwards of an hour. It may seem lengthy, but that extensive coverage of a game down to the last detail is part of what makes Chuggaaconroy so great.
