What video games would you rather watch someone else play than play it yourself?

For me, it is any city/building construction game like City Skylines, Two Point Hospital, Planet Zoo etc.

None.

I have absolutely no interest in watching someone else play a video game, excluding short clips of gameplay to get a feel for the mechanics.

I was talking to a friend about a parallel topic yesterday, regarding movies/TV shows about video games. I argued that it’s like watching porn when you can be having sex - I’d much rather be in control than watching an idiot fuck it all up.

“oh no baby, I’m cumming so hard I just sharted on the dog” as the dog starts to bite the guys sack, the camera falls over, she’s screaming and he’s losing a heavy amount of blood, the emergency services arrive and the video ends with their OnlyFans link

And I’m like “…and I paid pornhub for THIS?”

I watched some gameplay of Shattered Pixel Dungeon, just to help me not suck at it. It’s a roguelike with a damned steep learning curve. 25 short dungeon levels to get through and it took me like 42 attempts before the first time I beat it.
