Collectable VHS tapes can be played using a VCR. The parts are interactive and played in first-person perspective as the character in the video. Are these sections completely optional? Are there rewards?
video pause screen:
The sections mimic the look of a VHS tape playing on CRT display and can be more difficult than the main game due to lower visibility.

Yes, the first three video tapes are optional. There are four of them, and the final one is not missable because you walk into a room and are forced to watch it. You don't have to watch any of the first three tapes, but they do give you clues to upcoming areas and provide a bit of background. The third tape in particular provides information you need to avoid a trap.
You'll receive a Trophy/Achievement for playing through all four of them.
