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.

    Agree with this. Stardew Valley and many games can be found on mobile and quite popular with the gaming community. I am not sure as a beginner player I would start off with Stardew Valley as there are a lot of mechanics? Would recommend more of the below as there are not as many things to figure out:

    High recommendations for Vampire Survivors. There is a demo with that link as well as direct app access.

    Additionally, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp for $20 come December is great intro. Super relaxing game.

    100% recommend Slay the Spire as well.

    For games without a mobile option, I feel like Portal 1 and Portal 2 are must plays for anyone. And are not too graphically intense for any computer. Its a puzzle game. You run and jump into portals to figure out the puzzles. I wish I could play them again for the first time. All the above are amazing games. Wishing you the best on your journey!

    P.S. if you have a friend to game with, It Takes Two is a pleasant experience.
