Something you've only watched, but feel like you would've loved it had you played it yourself. Or maybe you only enjoyed it
because
you weren't the one playing it?
I have answers that fits both categories. The former would be Hypnospace Outlaw. It hits that 90's internet nostalgia weak point perfectly, and the process of getting through the game would've been something I would've absolutely loved. However, I watched someone else play it because I wasn't sure it'd be fun for me, and 98% of the fun is seeing all the pages, so there's no reason for me to play it myself anymore.
My answer for the latter is Deadly Premonition. Its sense of humor and storyline are just sublime and fit me perfectly. I love the setting, the characters, pretty much everything about it. But everyone I've watched and heard discuss this game attest to the fact that it is NOT fun to play at all. It has clunky controls, enemies are massive bullet sponges, and it's generally very awkward. But watching it lets you see all the fun parts without having to deal with any of that stuff.
So if I had to pick only one of these as my final answer, I'd go with Deadly Premonition. What's yours?
