Some publishers do have issues with playthroughs and even reviews and trailer reactions. Nintendo are notorious, they issue false copyright claims in order to demonetise content creators videos all the time.

If you just show raw gameplay without commentary or anything over it you’re more likely to get taken down or claimed. I know Konami does it.

Nintendo had a big issue with people uploading game content a few years ago, but the backlash from sane human beings made them give up the fight.
