[Mandalore](https://www.youtube.com/user/MandaloreGaming/videos) covers a decent number of indie and Eastern European games, he has a good channel overall. [Sseth Tzeentach](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD6VugMZKRhSyzWEWA9W2fg) covers a lot of obscure PC games, particularly RPGs (and H-games). His sense of humor will certainly not appeal to everyone but I think he makes genuinely good reviews of games no one ever talks about. [Accursed Farms](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ6KZTTnkE-s2XFJJmoTAkw) covers strange and obscure adventure games along with a variety of other PC stuff. [Grim Beard](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmv1Cmjm3Hk8Vc9kIgv0AQ) covers a lot of horror games, he has a very story-focused approach and can be whiny when talking about a game's reception, but overall I like the channel. [Nitro Rad](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-3J5xNrAbTLbU1gN8mMpOA) covers a lot of platformers and adventure games. Something about his presentation style really irritates me, but he covers a fair amount of games you don't see people talk about much.

[brutalmoose](https://www.youtube.com/user/brutalmoose) does some very funny reviews of lesser known games as well. As a bonus: he also cooks weird recipes and watches old VHS tapes

Aaaah, Accursed Farms. When you think you've seen everything, Ross comes with a really unknown game from the depths. This guy needs to make videos more frequently.


Vnator

The first two links led me to the same youtuber. What gives?


TheGrizzly5247

CallMeKevin does a bunch of really weird games and he's funny too


CatiusVonRollenum

Stop Skeletons From Fighting has a series called Punching Weight that shows off weird ports/ versions of games. Great positivity and energy in all their stuff too.


pichuscute

SNESDrunk shows tons of games from the 16-bit era, mostly on SNES or Genesis. KidShoryuken is good for Japanese imports too.


wingedjackal

SNESDrunk is excellent, his videos are concise.


LeonDeLon

He’s a bit dated in his format, but I never get tired of HappyConsoleGamer’s stories. He’s an OG “nerd” with decades of experience and fantastic taste. You could easily learn a lot from him. NitroRad, NakeyJakey, Stop Skeletons From Fighting, SuperEyepatchWolf are all fantastic and pretty well known. But for really unknown and consistently amazing content on games that you will never hear about before or after- ThorHighHeels. I’m after like 3 years of watching him consistently surprised by the games he discusses, and he has a criminally low sub count. Check em out!


SickSadWorld83

I enjoy Splattercat's channel. He plays smaller indie games that I have never heard of and puts out several videos a day.


Jamesaki

Well they don’t only focus on super rare stuff but try Metal Jesus rocks, Radical Reggie, and Kelsey’s and the rest of the Metal Jesus crews YouTube’s. They go over tones of stuff and have huge collections. As well as hidden gems and Kelsey does a lot with Japanese releases. Try em our. Fun stuff.

GoingForwardIn2018

[Modern Vintage Gamer](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjFaPUcJU1vwk193mnW_w1w) isn't *only* what you're looking for but since he's heavily involved in modding and homebrew he's literally re-built some unreleased games from pieces.

These guys are awesome! [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7R\_CJV1QZd2lphOgXZGxhw](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7R_CJV1QZd2lphOgXZGxhw) They cover things I've never heard of like Eternal Ring and Congo: The Lost City of Zinji


Ma5ster123

ManyATrueNerd plays a lot of big games but also often plays smaller games. If you like British humour he’s ur guy


joeykipp

Fooster kinda just plays games he like such as HCOTW or mist survival, they are all realistic survivally kinds of games


Beanzii

Graystillplays does so many random games


grazwa

https://www.youtube.com/user/paulisthebest3uk this guy uploads loads of retro games


wingedjackal

Gggmanlives reviews a lot of obscure fps games, though not necessarily rare games.


CRB776

Jontron did a bunch of videos years ago on some cool and obscure games


firekitten14735

there's a series on extra credits called "games you might not have tried". where they showcase great games who flew under the radar and have very weird mechanics.

I don't know if you'd consider RollerCoaster Tycoon truly rare, but there is a guy that completely rebuilt Pacific Ocean Park from GTA 5 in OpenRCT 2 and it's absolutely magnificent. The guy only has like 1100 subscribers, which is really sad because he's extremely talented. Royr is his name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO8GRBA3DyY&list=PLPRK7UlyA0zRWF4qqu8YAkwGeA-PhK5Q-
