I don't personally play Doom, and I can't watch the video at the moment.
However I'll tell you in pretty much any game I play, I love having the option to turn on God Mode and explore freely, see what there is to do, and in some cases use flags to skip missions that due to my vision I can't beat.
Skyrim was espcially good due to the clairvoyance spell. I'd always get it ASAP, and cheat my way to infinate illusion magika in order to always be able to summon a line between me and where I need to go. In dark caves and dungeons it was extremely helpful. More than once "I didn't even know there was a door there."

Even something as complex as Pokemon could be made easily playable if you ask me.
At least from a game play mechanics point of view. Some things would be hard to make accessable, such as puzzles, but the basic story, exploration, and battles should be easy to translate over.

If you mean Pokemon on ds, that's quite playable as u/nighthawk321 will tell you. But yeah I'm helping him with walkthroughs and describing puzzles is... kinda hard, but only because i'm describing it step by step so it takes long. Nighthawk's completed a bunch of Pokemon games already.

GB, GBA, and DS should all be pretty easy due to the grid nature of maps. Not sure exactly how battles would work, but when I was growing up and only had a regular GBA, which I couldn't see, I'd tell Pokemon apart by their shouts, and figure out what pokemon learned what moves at what level to know what the game was offering to teach me. I didn't have detailed map directions, so I'd walk left, up, ouch, left, up, ouch, left, up, door.
I'm thinking about any generation game though, could be pretty easily converted to a game that is strictly audio based.
What kind of walkthrough are you making with /u/NightHawk321, or are you two just playing through games together?

We're making walkthroughs with detailed map directions (currently for Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon) - even though there isn't a grid map system in the new games such as Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon, the newest game on 3DS. Battles work pretty much the same as the early versions (ie they're turn based) but that's obviously the beauty of pokemon. Just there's new pokemon with new cries and new movesets as well. And sometimes there's puzzles the trainer has to complete, one of which I'm walkthroughing in pokemon ultra sun now.

Here's a video that might interest blind people who have wanted to play doom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07jOSs7Fun8

i think this is a case of a blind gamer being so starved for good video games. its an issue that game developers should be made aware of. i wouldn't go so far as to say that all games should be made accessible but there are a lot of different types of games that could easily be playable by more people with just a little extra work.

maybe some type of interactive Braille or better sound cues?
