Of course, just... temper the expectations of what the means. A kid can probably do tic tac toe, chess, that kind of stuff.

"Real video games" take a lot of work and I would be super impressed if a "normal" kid who just "sort of likes playing" video games could bring up the dedication for learning and problem solving it needs.

It's like asking if a kid can learn to be a really good painter or musician. Sure. They can. It just takes a lot of practice.
