I've never been much of a spectator for games, sports included. I far prefer to play almost all of them. I do enjoy some funny clips of Souls games, occasionally watching vids of people who've never played them, or watch things for spoilers/guides (generally I prefer text for the info though it's getting harder to find.) But still played far more hours of those than I watched.
I've now come across the second game I prefer watching to playing, actually enjoying watching it.
1) Untitled Goose Game - This is the first one. I only played the demo, but I could quite easily tell I didn't like actually playing it, too much puzzles without a clue type stuff. However shortly after playing the demo I came across a video of someone playing it and really enjoyed watching that.
2) Cuphead - I only played it briefly, I didn't like the old style controls and platformer stuff where you had to remember a multitude of buttons - jumping, dashing, slapping, firing and with 8-way controlled by the same as direction of movement, super attack and ultimate attack, as well as two different attacks to switch between.
However after setting up a family steam account for my son, he tried this (his first game on that being Halo Infinite, which I didn't enjoy watching, and he quit after an hour or two.) I really enjoyed his commentary and helping him notice things and giving ideas of what to try when he was briefly stuck (not spoilers since I didn't play that far.) I didn't watch the entire time, but I watched most of it.
Do you have any games you'd rather watch than play, and if so what are they?
