how to start game reverse enginereeing

General

Hi I’ve recently gotten interested in reverse engineering but I’m still a complete beginner.
I’ve played around a bit with PE files using pefile and DIE and I’ve also tried Ghidra. But honestly jumping straight into disassembly and binary analysis feels a little too abstract for me right now.
I’m much more interested in game reverse engineering because the results feel more visual and interactive. I was thinking of starting with something like Cheat Engine and a simple single-player game.
For anyone who started from a similar place, what would you recommend learning first? What kind of roadmap would you follow and which tools or resources would you suggest?
