I'm a big fan of shows I can play in the background when gaming and this pretty much fits the bill. Because of their laid back production method, they produce many hours of content regularly. They're lighthearted, even Fraser with his trolling comes off as just a guy giving his buddies a good natured ribbing as guys tend to do and Becky and Ben balance that out well (especially Becky). The kind of content they produce is good for mentally tuning in and out.
It also helps that they're visibly expressive and lively in their reactions, making it fun for the audience, especially those who have played the game in question and are eagerly anticipating the cast's reactions to the next cool moment or twist.
And that's really what this show is about. You're not watching this to get a review of the game or a walthrough, or to see pro gamers in action. Fraser, Becky and Ben are your surrogate gamer buddies who you enjoy sharing a gaming experience with. This is why the show is set up the way it is, so that you can see the VGA cast on the couch even as you see the game on screen.
If you're the type who wants someone else to play the game you just played and see if they felt the way you do, this is a pretty good show to watch.
Comfort food for gamers.
