I’ve wanted to write gaming content for a while now as video games are a big part of my day-to-day life. I watch at least one gaming video on YouTube every day and have been doing so since I was 12, so almost half my life.
The very first ‘YouTuber’ I watched the most was PewDiePie and while I do still watch some of his content today, he doesn’t do gaming videos very often anymore. Since then my viewing habits have turned completely to Jacksepticeye, so basically these posts are going to mention him A LOT. If you don’t like Jacksepticeye then you probably won’t like these posts very much, sorry. Well, I’m not actually that’s a you problem. Ironically this first post isn’t a Jacksepticeye playthrough, but is instead a most recent watch.
I do want to find more gaming Youtubers to watch so if you have any suggestions please let me know. I’m mostly into horror games if that helps.
Anyway, let’s get into my first ever ‘favourite gaming series’ post. I’m very excited.
Also just want to add a quick note: I am not in any way ranking these series. I have a lot that I love, but there is no particular order to these posts.
Alice Madness Returns – Gab Smolders
Episodes: 5
Alice Madness Returns is one of my all-time favourite games. For years I have wanted one of my favourite YouTubers to do a complete playthrough of the game, but that never happened. Until November 2020 when Gab Smolders, who I had just started properly watching, played it for the first time. This really isn’t a game you come across often and honestly, I think it’s highly underrated.
Gab’s playthrough of this is amazing, just like all of her series. She’s the type of lets player that takes their time and isn’t completely over the top screaming all the time. There’s a calm and relaxing quality to all of Gab’s playthroughs and they are great to put on when you’re wanting something for background noise. I often put her videos on when I’m working on blog posts or planning my schedule.
She very quickly became a favourite of mine after watching this entire series. I love that she does super-long episodes.
I think I’m going to change up these posts a little and do them as not just my favourite playthroughs but also reviews of series. When watching Jacksepticeye’s Dead Space playthrough, I made review-style notes on as I watched it and I think I enjoyed that format a bit more. I don’t think I’ll change the name of the posts though.
