I’m a 30 year old woman who’s only really played card and puzzle games on my phone. Im considering new hobbies. Is it worth trying to get into video games for the first time. Where would I even start.

    Absolutely!!

    There are video games that work like card games, you’d love Balatro or Magic the Gathering.

    If you like puzzles, Tetris is the perfect start, its the greatest puzzle game of all time. Tetris Effect and Tetris 99 are good recent games for that.

    If you want to graduate from Puzzles to something more gamey, I’d recommend any Mario or Zelda game, and to develop a game mind, Metroid and metroid-like games are excellent.

    Many games work like movies too, so if you like movies those are nice.

    If you like books, there is a genre of game called a visual novel, (most of those are from Japan though, but many have an English option for text)
