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.

In porn, don't you WANT them to 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.
