It’s the same in the sense of just knowing the information the game has I suppose but no it’s not the same as playing.
But it depends. Like if there’s a game I’m curious about but don’t think I’ll play then of course I’ll just watch someone else play it. If it’s a game I’m interested in and want to experience fresh on my own then no, unless I’ve played it already and the people playing it are amusing.
