Try something popular to latch on to a bigger video in the search engine

Play popular/trending games, however, you will need to make content around a highly searched-low competition niche for that game, for your channel to be able to rank and gain attention. Aim for low-hanging fruit.

It depends if the video is about the gameplay. If you are speaking about something else don't worry about the gameplay in the background as its not the main focus of the video

I would suggest popular games for the start. I know when i'm looking up a new game I just click on anything lol.

Play games as they're released because people will actually search for that game and there's chances they'll end in you video (it has happen to me).
That's the legit and "honest" way... now if you want to cheat you can try filling your description with names of more popular videos, YouTube channels and links to big YouTubers videos; that will boost your views. You can also try playing clickbaity games like p**n or something like that (don't judge me for giving the advice is not my fault it works)

Popular Games are the way to go but you can always do something on Sport games which never get old
