I really love watching funny bad game review videos (e.g. Civvie) and was wondering what other similar content creators you could recommend.

    Not really a review channel, but Josh from Let’s Game It Out is my favorite. He loves to break games, whether they are polished or janky. One of the few YT creators that I actually allow subscription notices.

      He’s excellent, but I’ll stress the “not a review” part. He’s hilarious but you usually won’t get a good look at the games from watching his videos. He’ll often take a single mechanic and spend the entire video breaking the game in half using it, which means he won’t show 90% of the game’s content or how it normally plays.

        True, but he does show enough of the game to give you an idea of how it would play.

        I got started playing Palworld from his video on it, and I got Hydroneer because of him too.

    LoadingReadyRun’s “watch+play” series could be worth a look. Not strict reviews, but entertaining videos based on terrible games.

    Not in the style of Civvie and not always pure comedy but Action Button reviews are the best video game review videos I’ve ever seen. I’d recommend his Doom review, it’s only four hours long.

    Be aware, his videos are not to everyone’s taste.
