I've posted 3 videos and they have gotten zero views, except for one view on one video which was my own view. I wonder if it has to do with my channel name, since it is kinda out there and doesn't really reflect my channel content. I'd like feedback on the quality of my videos, my thumbnails, and my channel name. Heres the link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYF9IRJIyxs7Z4gPrU2rK9w

Even if you continue on the path that you're going down, I'm afraid that low views will be in your future for a long time (trust me I've been there with let's plays). Putting aside that YouTube doesn't have a good enough data set of who to show your content to based on who responded in the past (because your channel is new/small), your channel has a couple major issues. The first is the fact that you're doing let's plays. This type of content offers very little value to viewers, and they have videos by much more charismatic people (and with higher production values) to watch instead. You can continue with let's plays if you enjoy doing it, but just know that very few people care about them. Secondly, your videos have no commentary at all. How much of a let's play is it truly if there's no reaction or interaction with the game? What's to differentiate your gameplays without commentary from a FNaF gameplay without commentary that was uploaded in 2014 shortly after the game came out? Thirdly, your thumbnails are generic and are just the thumbnails that the game has on the Steam page; there's nothing to entice viewers to click.
I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but I'm trying to save you from a headache if you are planning on pursuing content creation in the long term. There's nothing wrong with making what you want to make for fun, just know that the viewership likely won't follow your expectations

So what should I do to improve my content? Should I upload videos with commentary, create better thumbnails, and do something other than lets plays?

It depends on what you’re looking to gain from uploading content to YouTube, but essentially yes
The happy medium exists between what you want to make, and what an audience actually wants to watch

Do I need to show my face or would just having commentary be better? I'd like to make gaming related content
