Each episode of the series showcases a game usually being played in its entirety, instead of being cut up into parts; a format that is also known as a "longplay". Instead of a webcam feed of a human player in the corner, a half-body Live2D face-tracked avatar of the host, a furred dragon character named Vtuber Flye (also known as Flye Gaming) is displayed, as their actor provides commentary on events of the games through him.

In most episodes, Vtuber Flye is usually depicted as a "dumb and deadpan dragon", who doesn't really know how to play games, or acts uninterested or confused about the events of the game, in a usually humourous or surreal fashion.

Even though Vtuber Flye is a character being portrayed through motion capture, and some jokes are scripted, most vocal reactions to unexpected things such as game glitches, jumpscares, and plot twists are genuine. The episodes are also truncated to exclude most of the downtime moments when nothing of interest is happening. Some things that do get cut out are released in a seperate videos as "Bee-Roll" (B-Roll) footage.

On a similar vein as with the aforementioned "Bee-Roll", likewise, all episodes open with some preliminary info about the game about to be played before the text "Buzz: On" appears; the word "Buzz" being an allusion to the word "Bee" in the title of the show. To bookend this, the videos close with the text "Buzz: Off" (sometimes with the colon symbol omitted to drive this "stinger" home).
