She’s young, single and about to achieve her dream of creating incredible video games. But then life throws her a one-two a popular streamer gives her first game a scathing review. Even worse, she finds out that same troublesome critic is now her new neighbor! A funny, sexy, and all-too-real story about gaming, memes, and social anxiety. Come for the plot, stay for the doggo.

She is also the creator of the Eisner nominated comic “Let’s Play.”
I know I say this a lot but I genuinely love this series. The characters are relatable, the plot is realistic, and it’s just a fun time all around. That cliffhanger is going to drive me nuts though.
I LOVE this series. Always brings a smile to my face. Bowser is my favorite. Seeing a glimpse of Charles’ past was interesting…I have my theories. Link I’m fency on. I hope Sam grows out of her shell soon. I can see that she’s trying, but, as Charles pointed out, Sam’s family baby her. A lot. Also…IS MARSHALL OKAY???? That ending almost had me in tears! What HAPPENS!!
Wieder ein starker Band! Ich mag diese Graphic Novel einfach. Die Charaktere sind alle so toll, dass man sich gar nicht entscheiden kann, welcher der „Richtige“ für Sam ist. Mein Herz haben sie alle.
Ich mochte, dass sich Teil 4 endlich mit Ruminate, dem Spiel der Protagonistin befasst hat und man als Leser in die Spielwelt eintauchen konnte. Auch dass sich Charles die Mühe gemacht hat, das Spiel zu spielen, fand ich klasse. Aber was hat es nun mit der Bekanntschaft von charles und Marshall auf sich? Und was war das für ein schreckliches Ende? Cliffhanger kann Leeanne einfach.
Ich habe vor dem Kauf eine schlechte Rezension zu Teil 4 gelesen, dass sich das Buch angeblich nicht nach vorn bewegen würde. Dass es an Story fehlen würde. Das kann ich nicht bestätigen. Ganz im Gegenteil. Ich mochte auch hier die Entwicklung der Charaktere, das nähere kennenlernen von Sam und charles, das sich festigende Band zwischen Marshall und Sam und vor allem die süße Fitnessstudio-Sidestory.
Let’s play lässt mich immer mit Lust auf mehr zurück. Jetzt heißt es erstmal wieder warten. Aber ich freue mich bereits, wenn es weitergeht. Es geht doch hoffentlich weiter? 🙊❤️
*sniffs* i thought the series was over but it ISN'T. I am gonna DIE. The cliffhanger is freaking painful *sobs* Also. I enjoyed this series. A lot! I only wish the creator hadn't said that it's complete when it's not (on webtoon) because I do not like reading (or watching) unfinished stuff. Would have to read a nice book/comic to get over the cliffhanger of this one. *silent screams* BUT! I RECOMMEND THIS ONE TO EVERYONE...
IF THEY OKAY WAITING FOR A YEAR FOR FURTHER UPDATES.
Nani the f**?!! Why you gotta leave me with cliffhangers?!! I just raged at this poor little volume that did nothing less than stomp on my heart. :: chef's kiss::
Je rêve du jour où le chien de Sam va finir par apprécié Marshall, il le faut ! Alors que je l’ai trouvé absent dans le précédent, je suis satisfaite avec celui-ci, mais son état m’inquiète. Depuis que Sam a exigé que Marshall rejoue à Ruminate, j’avais hâte à se moment et le voila enfin! J’aime trop les aventures de Marshall dans Ruminate, et aussi de voir que la dépression le quitte peu à peu. J’ai l’impression que Monica est néfaste pour lui… c’est dure toute facon de l’apprécier quand j’espère trop un Marshall & Sam.
Link qui se rapproche d’Angela ça me plait bien! Hâte de découvrir leur histoire.
Et Charles qui a une bague, il est marié wtf ?! J’aime comment le Webtoon nous amène toujours à imaginer le pire chez Charles, alors qu’au finale on lui trouve une douceur. Mais, j’ai de la difficulté à accrocher avec lui. J’aime qu’il aide Sam, mais sans plus.
*** 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗦 ⤵️ *** - 𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀 - La fin de la saison 1 , avec Marshall qui s’écroule sur le sol, wouah le suspence de mort ! J’ai adoré voir l’évolution du jeu de Sam, c’est fou les détails de Ruminate.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This volume completes Season One of the story and I think I will dip out.
The video game made by Sam is finally getting some attention and it is depicted by the artist substituting the NPC's with the main characters of the story. It doesn't work for me at all and it doesn't feel like a video game. These pages make a noticeable chunk of this volume, which brings my rating down.
The final cliffhanger is one, that was used before and I get the impression the writer has a hard time to tell something new. This volume gave me fewer laugh out moments than previous ones did and I'm not invested into the story enough to see what will happen next.
Still, these four volumes were fun to read, I just won't be revisiting them.
Just when I was ready to give up on Let's Play, Krecic managed to surprise me.
In this volume there was way less angst than usual. All of Sam's paranoic thoughts weren't the focus of the plot. Neither were the three hunks that have a crush on her. Finally we got to see Sam's videogame as Marshall plays it.
I still think Ms. Krecic needs some sort of restraints because, really, there's so much fluff in this four volumes and a good editor would have told her to cut something short. I also don't like the waste of space on the page with few panels.
I love this web comic so much! I'm not sure exactly what drew me to it but I'm glad I found it! Such beautiful characters and so much heart! I love that it focuses on a woman game designer. On top of being a female-front story, it focuses on mental health which is sadly too often ignored. What follows is a beautiful story that I am really looking forward to more content from!
I am getting close to the spot that I left off in the Webcomic, and oh mannnn. I love the development of Marshall here. I also really love the concept of Ruminate...I think it would be a fun game to play in real life. I know what happens next and that Marshall will be okay, but mannnn. His Depression is real, and I can't wait for his healing era.
C'est toujours un plaisir de relire cette histoire. J'aime toujours autant les personnages (même si j'ai oublié certains détails depuis ma lecture du tome 3), et j'ai hâte de découvrir la suite de l'histoire (j'attends la saison 4 avec impatience). Quel plaisir également de découvrir le jeu de Sam ! C'est typiquement le genre de jeu dont je rafole, dommage qu'il n'existe pas en vrai.
The storyline was excellent as always, and luckily the font/text was clearer and more legible to read than the first three printed books. Maybe it was larger or just better printed? Either way I hope this quality continues in the next volumes!
