Is it worth getting into video games? (lemmy.world)

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.

I think this is the best answer. I'd like to add, that game genres are often comparable to forms of sport. So e.g. I hate running 😅 but love surfing.

So just as there is a sport for almost everyone, there is probably at least one genre you like. Now where to start, that's a but more difficult. But there are already good answers for that

Yeah, sports is a great analogy. Just because you don't like basketball, doesn't mean you won't like soccer, and just cause you don't like turn-based RPGs, doesn't mean you won't like 2D platformers. It's all about finding what you vibe with.
