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'm just giving the OP a suggestion to look into to see if it's something they might be interested in. You sound like a teenager fanboying for the console of their choice and shitting on anything else. Go back to reddit with that shit.

VR is expensive

It doesn't have to be, which is why I'm saying start with a Quest. A Quest 3S is cheaper than other consoles out there. We also don't know OP's financial situation. This is not a child we're talking about.

cumbersome

I'll give you that in regards to a front-heavy Quest. Other headsets are much better in terms of comfort. But myself and others would spend hours a day in a Quest 2 when it came out and we survived.

Needs extra space

The vast majority of games can be played sitting down. And most standing games have you standing in place. I live in an RV and manage fine.

has very few games

That's simply not true anymore. And we don't know what kind of games OP would like.

Again, I'm not saying VR is the only solution for OP. I'm simply making a suggestion that nobody else had mentioned yet. Maybe it's for them, maybe it's not. That's for OP to decide.

Yep, you're blind to how much worse VR is than anything else, even mobile gaming. But alright, keep pushing new people into this trap, I don't have any stakes in this.
