This is like asking if you should get into books or movies! The answer is absolutely! 💜 There are so so many games.
The genre "cozy game" is a pretty good place to start, I think. They focus more on the vibe than challenges.
Definitely stay away from games that use phrases like "souls like". Those are games that are trying to be intentionally difficult for the sake of being difficult.
A lot of this depends on what sort of console or computer you have access to. A lot of indie games are not very taxing and you can probably play them on your computer easily even if it isn't a gaming computer. Things like Stardew Valley and Spiritfarer come to mind.
