Youtube videos seem to be the only way to get an idea of what gameplay is like. The majority of official promotion videos on Steam etc seem to basically just show clips from cutscenes along with sentences from the press release splashed up dramatically rather than actual gameplay. However I find most "Let's play" videos deadly boring , especially for games I haven't played yet. I've never watched a full one. Though sometimes I do enjoy watching parts of the ones with amusing commentary especially for retro games since it's a lazy way to re-live the experience.
