Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
The concept of video games has no worldly or religious benefit. Rather, such games are harmful to ones mental and physical health. Also, hours at a time are wasted in playing video games so much so that even the prayers are missed. Therefore, it will not be permissible to play video games, especially, of this kind.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
