More games video essayists I like : Noah Caldwell-Gervais, Joseph Anderson, eurothug4000, GiantGrantGames (mostly RTS games and challenge runs of said games, but he has a great voice and his reviews are interesting), Mandaloregaming (not longform, but good editing and analysis).

Edgelord special mention : SsethTzeentach. I do think he definitely gets too edgy at times, though it is sometimes funny, but he does talk about some very obscure games sometimes and highlights what makes them original/interesting

Keyan Carlile - Long form deep dives into Disney shows

Napoleon Blownapart - Does MMA, I don't even like MMA and i like his videos.

Majuular - Long form deep dives into games

FuzzySlippers - More video games

Dungeon Chill - video games

frootbats - Only a handful of long form videos, but if you want to go deep on fraggle rock she's got you covered.

These are all great thanks all for the suggestions. I’d lake to add the YT channel Ahoy for long form essays not always on specific games but always insightful. Primarily focusing on video games in relation to firearms history, retro technology, and pop culture. https://youtube.com/@xboxahoy

The channel doesn't have many more game videos but here's a good video about the history of EVE online:
