TIPS
There are obviously many different genres when it comes to video games, just as there are many genres in
music or movies.
This means not every game will be your cup of tea nor will every game have the same learning curve or
difficulty. So how
do you know what type
of game fits you best? Let's find out! 
Let's start slow.
If you have no experience with video games whatsoever, and you're kind of reluctant about immediately trying high action filled games, I would start with checking out simulation games, (sometimes colloquially known as "cozy games"), or just games where you don't have to have an insane reaction speed or anything like that. (Not saying you can basically turn off your brain when playing these games, but that's kind of what I'm saying.)
What would I recommend?
Examples include: The Sims, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Unpacking, Animal Crossing,...
Fond of reading?
Or maybe you want to just prioritize lore and storylines and not worry too much about having to actually do much (physically, at least). I'd recommend checking out visual novels then! These games read like a book, but are paired with visual images or video, background music, and often even unique (but simple enough) gameplay mechanics to keep you entertained yet alert.
What would I recommend?
Examples include: Ace Attorney, Zero Escape, Professor Layton,...
I want to play with friends!
Games also get categorized in whether they are single-player or multi-player. Multi-player games are games you play with other people in real-time. Either be it with each other or against each other.
You could also even keep an eye out for games that are often intended to be played as a single-player but also have co-op features, such as Baldur's Gate 3!
What would I recommend?
Examples include: MMO's (Massively Multiplayer Online), FPS/TPS (First Person Shooter/Third Person Shooter) games, Minecraft, VRChat, Among Us,... and many, many more.
No game is the same... and neither are we.
At the end of the day, every game is different, and so many aspects play a role in what could be the "perfect" game for you. There are WAY more genres out there than the ones I just described. Not just the genre, but also the storyline, character design, and combat style (if there is any) are often points that many people like to take into consideration when it comes to picking out a game to play.
Therefore, my best advice would be to download Steam and take a look around in their vast array of games, the same way you would look for movies on Netflix or books in a library.
There is bound to be a video game for anyone out there, you just have to discover it.
