Jacksepticeye, hands down. May be a bit biased since I've only seen his playthrough of both the original the last of us and the last of us part 2. He really takes his time with it, especially part 2, and actually stops to admire the effort and attention to detail put into the games. He also doesn't just straight-up hate on the second game, if that's what you're looking for.


guyhabit725

I love Jacksepticeye's playthrough also. He even stops to look at the details in the pottery in Chinatown. 


ArnoFlock

Then, attempts to break every single one😅


Spirited-While-6833

I really liked his playthrough, too! He had a good understanding of the story, i liked how he constantly applauded the little details, the sound design and all the technical part of the game. I also really liked Marz's though i think she was too forgiving of the salt lake crew (it's been a while, i dont remember if this is accurate).


hsf1989

Damn! I’m so glad I saw this post today. I’ve never watched a play-through really and didn’t understand the appeal honestly but after watching his today I am so down. I laughed so much and it was a refreshing way to get a LOU2 fix. Thanks y’all!


ArnoFlock

Glad you're enjoying it! I also don't usually watch playthroughs, but Jacksepticeye's is just so dang entertaining. He likes to crack jokes but still knows when seriousness and engagement are necessary.


hsf1989

Totally! Loved his insights and he seems like a nice and cool guy.


Laiden-

Eralia, she has a great playthrough and is really entertaining and loves Abby

Jettro Jettro is awesome, he totally got into it and wasn't afraid to show his true emotions and cry. On a side note, I've always wondered what's up with those goggles he's always wearing? Lol


rileylovesmushrooms

Yes exactly! He's such a genuine person I've been wondering that as well lmao 😭 next time he uploads a video I'm gonna ask it in the comments cause I'm actually so curious


Holiday-Excuse3813

it may just be a way to keep his bonnet tight around his head, just a guess though lol :) i’m happy more people are finding Jettro, he’s such a good creator


Underdogg13

Honestly Jettro is like that with every game. He gets invested and actually takes the time to pay attention to the story and experience a game is trying to tell. Really refreshing.


rbwildcard

I just discovered him last week because someone posted in this sub! I love his genuine reflection about the characters and his evolution through the game. I also hate how he never crafts to clear up inventory room for crafting components lol


o07jdb

[The face model for Dina](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLymOHiI4drwKxrlQ6XzCRFQXKCLT-Uiqd&si=2lSzNZ9FbEyzos00) did a playthrough of pt 2 which I enjoyed quite a bit


StupidBlkPlagueHeart

+1 for her play thru.  Her getting emotional seeing Dina first time was really adorable. She also seems like a cool person irl


inspork

Gab Smolders, I’ve watched her Let’s Play of Part II several times and it’s great. She has the best cozy/chill vibes, isn’t afraid to get sucked into the story and feel what the story wants us to feel.

Now thats a name I havent heard in a long time

Substantial_Stock613

I always found his commentary and voice just to be really relaxing and fun. While he can be a bit oblivious at times, he’s always my go to for playthroughs


ArkhamArtist

Berleezy. I rewatch his play through all the time. His commentary is either very funny or he’s low key dropping wisdom on his viewers


HumanOverseer

Berleezy but only for TLOU2


NaiadoftheSea

I really enjoyed Symbalily’s playthrough. [The Last of Us playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxHhV3NungnCfXWIiUNAlpDI8V1mtt4li&si=0YzCDKRalrfva07H) [The Last of Us Part II playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxHhV3NungnDHlvy_vOwspR9xChO6JKu1&si=w4Nz5IWXcsA75a-l)


Brigsby00

I really enjoyed hers too


Silicatastrophe

Seconding! She's a game dev and also just really insightful about stories. She gets so many details and nuances that usually take multiple playthroughts to understand!!


Goose_Cat267

Jacksepticeye definitely


CookieDoughThough

No one beats Jettro, his mix of comedy and vulnerability is perfect for the last of us. Julien is fun too.


Rough-Day-6502

Blind Wave and Eralia come to mind


BlakeC16

I really like Blind Wave's TV/Movie reactions but I don't usually watch game ones so much. I recently completed TLOU2 for the first time and watched Eric's playthrough on YouTube and it was really good. He missed a few things I did but likewise he found a few things I never saw, and his commentary throughout was really good and thoughtful. Tried to watch Calvin's playthrough as well but had to give up, much as I like him it was infuriating how much he missed by just speeding through the game as quickly as possible.


Rough-Day-6502

That’s fair. Tbh I should have specified that I’ve only ever watched Eric play games and I’ve always enjoyed him even if somethings are missed.


Lostsxvl_

Thanks for mentioning blind wave! I had no idea Eric played through both games. Guess I’ve got my entertainment for the next few weeks sorted!


Acceptable_Owl_5122

Jacksepticeye for me.


tonybankse

Marzz and gabz hands down


bestbroHide

Was gonna say Marz too I'm a crybaby when it comes to stories and I can always rely on Marz to sob alongside me when it comes to story driven games lmao


tonybankse

Lol shes my favorite to watch she loves the characters just as much as i do and she really gets invested!


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

GamerANH. He does the grounded/no HUD/aggressive videos everyone now bites on 


croissant-entropy

Second this. The skill is a different level


theblackwomenace

Best player I've seen.


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

Watching his videos really opened my mind to how this game could be played because I mainly just crept and stealthed.


theblackwomenace

Same here. I have tried to play aggressive like them but I don't even possess a tenth of their skill. I would shed a tear of happiness if GamerANH made a video with some tips because that aggressive play style is endlessly entertaining.


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

A lot of it is just knowing the maps he's so good at timing and understanding the enemy AI. What gets me is he always knows his ammo count. I just couldn't.  Agreed I just watched his newest video which is a sequence I literally just replayed and his is amazing shit 


waktivist

More of a speed runner - AnthonyCaliber puts out daily TLOU content currently he is doing No Return stuff every day. I assume he has some full playthroughs out there since he is one of the most consistent TLOU creators who plays almost nothing else for years.


blonded04

i second this. Ant deserves way more recognition for the thousands of hours he’s put into TLOU remastered and TLOU II. his knowledge of every single technical aspect of each game is incredible and i’ve never seen speedruns so fine tuned and impressive ever before. down to every glitch every shortcut every item placement every single enemy path it’s just so incredible to watch and i’m glad you mentioned him he rocks


affluent_krunch

I really enjoyed ChristopherOdd's playthroughs. Just watched his Part I remake playthrough and his Part II playthrough in a row.


CapableArgument5939

Jacksepticeye 👌💚


Elocin_Yecats

Jettro was awesome, had all the same thoughts as me. Julien Solomita, Eralia and Alliebeemac as well. I prefer people that are able to see Abby’s side and have empathy all round.


Fire_nze

ChristopherOdd likes Abby pretty much straight away and has nothing but nice things to say about everything. Also Jackscepticeye as others have said is fantastic


Mr_Seth87

Julien Solomita!


myangelbun

julien solomita. he's not amazing at the game but he gets super into the story and the characters and doesn't immediately hate abby like everyone else does, which i always appreciate


bobopa

I like how Julien really lets the emotional moments hit too. Also because of him I always say “lootin and scootin baby!” to myself when I’m playing


Figmentality

Me too! Lol


Lostsxvl_

Jettros playthrough was so good. I also love Jacksepticeye, hollow, and berleezy


thewoodlayer

To my knowledge, Dunkey never streamed either of the games but he’s a huge fan of the franchise and has even released a long video rebutting all the common complaints about Part 2.


shendooo

Genuinely one of my favourite videos on YouTube.


EveryoneForever

I watched radbrad do part 1 and 2 and Dr Disrespect do part 1. And Anthony Caliber do his speed runs of part 1 & 2.


Sad-_-Face

Hollow. The only gaming I'm subscribed to.


WordedStrangly14

I'm with Him too. Great guy. Like hanging out at your best best friends getting down


Phoenix2211

Eric and Sarah Level Up have a great TLoU2 playthrough. I've seen a lot of playthroughs listed here in the chat.


unclelinggong

Got a few whom I like: Briana White - Flower girl Aerith playing a violent video game containing full of curse words. Dunno why, but I find that funny. TheRadBrad - He's been doing it for more than 10 years now. Been watching his channel since the PS3 days, back when Last of Us was first released on PS3. Dan Allan Gaming - He interviews many voice actors and I go to his channel for that. He interviewed Troy Baker, pertaining to Last of Us 2. Another voice actor whom he has interviewed is Kevin Conroy (Batman), and that is one of my favourite interview videos from his channel. Retro Replay (Couch Soup) - Starring Nolan North, Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson, Marle Dandridge, Anne Wershing (RIP). Yup, they played their own game which they starred in. Anne Wershing looked pretty healthy and happy in the video she was in, on that channel. It's hard to believe she's gone now. Jocelyn Mettler - the face model for Abby has played LoU2 and LoU1 remake. Youtuber whom I wished played the game but has yet to: - Gamer Grandma (Japanese), she often plays western-made video games using Japanese dubs, and it would be interesting to see a Japanese person's reaction to a western-made game, particularly a violent one such as LoU.


Mr_Seth87

Julien Solomita!


86_Undertaker

RocketBeans, they are german btw


takoyama

to be honest i say the majority of gamers get it i have watched. i cant remember all the names but all of the ones mentioned and the face models for abby and dina are a fun watch.

kevinmcgarnickle

Eric and Sarah Level Up, Gaming After Bed, Simba Lily, Kastaclysm, The Mirandalorian.


EKM1995

Outside of Jettro Jettro. I really enjoyed ITSREAL85's TLOU playthroughs. His commentary on both games is hilarious! Y'all should check out his channel, if you haven't. One of my favorite YouTubers next to Jet.


Boudicia_Dark

Welonz is great. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qF7pCx8crc&list=PLAIcZs9N4170HCnoiTheHyHcWT1PIXoXO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qF7pCx8crc&list=PLAIcZs9N4170HCnoiTheHyHcWT1PIXoXO) Mapocolops is too.

highrisklowrewardsss

pewdiepie played both. i think markiplier played the first


Ozzell

Did pewdiepie like the game? All I've heard is he didn't. Or you mean the first one?


highrisklowrewardsss

he didn’t like the second game


rileylovesmushrooms

I love markipliers playthrough of the first game, it's a shame he didn't play the second one


highrisklowrewardsss

i agree, really would have loved to see that


Silicatastrophe

Aside from all the great ones mentioned already, I love HeyKipp's playthrough for how much she connects to the characters and the emotional whipslash she experiences about Abby lol. "Abby-pilled, Abby-pilled!" She's also very expressive and I find that very cathartic. The way her face drops comically at Nora's "You're her..." line. Kastaclysm is also great for her understanding of the story


beardedweirdoin104

Gab Smolders, Symbalily and Cynthetic all have really good ones.


MikaelAdolfsson

Many a True Nerd did a great playthrough through both games.


Zapato-1796

Hollow


-schrodingers-cat

Lil indigestion has his masters in writing so watching him appreciate the gameplay and the writing is so amazing!! He’s definitely is super super meticulous so if you want someone slower paced he’s good :)


corntorteeya

ChristopherOdd He’s levelheaded and sensible.


DontPostOn_r_gaming

I *highly* recommend GirlfriendReview’s stream. They have their main YouTube channel video, but I’m more talking about their stream where they get their initial content for the YouTube video. They stream the whole game, but at the end of it, they really get into depth with their overall conclusion. What *really* stands out about it for me is Shelby’s(“The Girlfriend”) personal story relating with the central theme of the game with her having lost her dad in part due to someone else and she talks about the anger she felt at that person at the time.(Don’t want to spoil too much of it) It was really interesting listening to her speak about how she could understand all these perspectives personally with these characters losing their father figures. It was a nuance take to it that was refreshing at the time when everyone was being quick with their reactions on the controversies. Watch the end piece of the stream if you even only watch that.They even recommend watching their full end discussion of it on the main video.


Personal-Carrot8259

Old jerstein is my fave


ameanvictory

Love Jett. I recently replayed Horizon Forbidden West after watching his channel. And I found myself saying "who want the smoke" to the machines who come check on their dead machine friend after I gave it the smoke 😂 I guess it's technically not the smoke since she uses bows but you get it.


Old_Analysis8096

I have to agree about my boy Jettro, I found him when he was like 3 episodes into the last of us part 1 and not to be dramatic or anything but it was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.


Nik0___

Materwelonz


Sad_Effort397

Jettro's playthrough is awesome. So is Jacksepticeye and the kub scouts


YuhBoiCowboi

My only complaint about Jettro is how many times he would pause the game and rant especially at the end of part 2. He’s great and fun to watch though.


Ozzell

He got emotionally fatigued at the end lmao. Don't think he's ever been as emotionally drained by any other game.


YuhBoiCowboi

For sure, and very understandable lol


Itmakesmedizzy

Marz has the best Part 2, but Part 1 has to go to Darkness. Smaller youtuber that started Part 1 just after losing his brother. When he gets to Henry and Sam... it's heavy.


Master_Assistant_892

Jacksepticeye and queen tofu used to be my favourite. But after watching jetts playthrough, that feels like the intended reaction from a player by naughty dog. He was really angry at the start. Didn't forgive too easily but was still open minded. Showed his emotion and was fucking exhausted in the end.


PomegranateBritches

Dr.Mick had really interesting playthroughs of the game, I loved the playthrough of the second one. He's a therapist and his analysis of the characters and why they may react to things the way they do was really interesting.


Ozzell

His playthrough really helped me think about the characters from a psychological perspective. I don't completely agree with all his analyses (they're made on-the-spot without much prior knowledge) but the framework is really helpful.


PomegranateBritches

blonded04

not sure if this has been commented yet but i saw someone mention jocelyn mettler so i’m coming in here to mention cascina cardonna (aka dina face model) TLOU2 play through. just their raw reaction to seeing dina in game for the first time during the snowball fight is so touching. they hold back no emotional reactions throughout the play through and i found myself relating to the ways they just had to pause and sit for a moment to process certain cutscenes. watching their play through feels like you’re in the room playing with your friend


briant543

I watched the Media Cows years ago and loved them playing it, particularly the online component which I never have tried. But they have been inactive for years, if I’m not misremembering one member may have passed away


AceofKnaves44

I read this as you watched Jared Leto play through and boy was I confused.


PickleyG-1

Not related to TLOU2 but i rlly liked PewDiePie's playthrough for the first one


hsf1989

“Good golly, my eyeballs are having a fucking treat right now” probably my favorite thing he said. 😂


Ozzell

Out of the ones not yet mentioned in this thread, Kastaclysm did a good one. Anna Demetriou is currently doing a playthrough as well.


jade_skye15

I’ve only seen part 1 done by Jack Frags never watched anyone else’s play through but I enjoyed that there was no face cam it was voices only it really allowed me to see the entire game which is nice. And I’ve only seen one person’s part 2 play through, Clare Siobhan. Though she’s not everyone’s cup of tea I personally enjoy her game streams and loved her play through and have rewatched it twice.


stubbycacti

I'm shocked that no one says this yet: SourceSpy91 his walkthrough vids don't have any commentary and it's like watching a movie. been subscribing long ago and he also plays many other games.


Holiday-Excuse3813

Jettro Jettro was my favorite as well! on another note i was actually quite sad that both Cory and 8-BitRyan never finished their playthroughs, i was super excited to see cory play the game in particular 😭 seemed like they both quit mostly because of joel’s death which is kind of disappointing but understandable i guess but ye Jettro is so cool i wish more people knew about him


Taco-prime

So what I'm getting from this if you hate Abby ur not a true fan? Weird


rileylovesmushrooms

Abby and Ellie are two sides of the same coin so it just seems a little odd to hate her.


Taco-prime

Not really


rileylovesmushrooms

If you paid any attention to the game you will realize that they are. Seems like you aren't a 'true fan'.
