Re: Games you prefer to watch others (and yourself) play

I do rarely if I'm not going to play them. Does anyone else record their
own gaming and watch the recordings like I do like in recent/last year's
onlne Pulsar Lost Colony games
(https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiTODPVxHAd8yRxOz9Iq-Bq4_O5-RJCWn)?
I also did the same for old computer games like classic Doom and its
mods (https://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/files/doom2/j2doom/j2doom.html as

examples). :D

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?
