Good games to talk over? (lemmy.world)

ESL here, so bear with me. A friend and I started a channel on YouTube (this is not a sneaky advertising lol), it's nothing innovative, we just play and talk. Everything started when we were talking about how we use to just sit together in the same couch and play or watch someone play. We used to play a lot of Resident Evil and racing games this way. Our aim isn't really getting famous, we are just two dudes having a blast playing whatever and talking. We recently finished Super Metroid and we are starting Doom now. Soon we will be finishing X-Files (PS1) and we will start Clock Tower (SNES version).

Do you people have any good recommendation for games that are good to watch but are not so dialogue driven so we can talk over it without missing much?

Based on my experience of seeing other Let's Plays, I'd say games which one of you played as a child or knows really well that the other has never played, or perhaps really iconic games which you've both never played (so the audience fills in the role of knowing it really well)

This worked in the Super Metroid. My friend never played and I never finished it. Of course there were some moments that can make the people who already know the game roll their eyes haha But it was a super fun journey. Thanks for the insight!
