Trespasser by Research Indicates is honestly so well written that it feels like director's commentary rather than a let's play.
Bobbin Threadbare's Deus Ex. It's half let's play, half a series of lectures on various topics relating to the game.
For me a good let's play is about the game and representing it, not about about the personality doing it.
That Trespasser LP is what motivated me to play through the game myself, and I have no regrets. That game is insane. It's awful, don't get me wrong, but crazy ahead of its time. They basically tried to make a VR game two decades before VR gaming became a thing. Without Trespasser, we wouldn't have Half-Life: Alyx. Research Indicates' LP is a fantastic way to experience this obscure but fascinating title.
