Video games are cool and it’s possible that these games can make you smarter. If you are engaged in playing games like Sudoku and Minecraft, they could help you in solving complex problems and make you think creatively. Also, action games like Call of Duty need quick thinking and if you can master the game, it would make you think so fast.
 
They can if there are problem-solving missions in them. However, too much of them could make you "dumber" as you'll pass off learning a new language or higher mathematics, not really dumber, but never reach the potential you could have if you're always engulfed in a game.
 
It depends on what games you play. I do not see how a PUBG player or Fortnite player can become smart just by playing these games but if you play real time strategy games, you can certainly become little smart.

They can; you can always learn something from games like how to help people from Zelda/Persona or roman numerals from Final Fantasy.

Some video games can be super educational. I'm glad you mentioned games like Zelda because they teach how to help others, teamwork, and how to solve problems. I’ve seen games that even teach history, science or math in a fun way.
 
I’m in agreement that Games can make you smarter. I’ve played a couple of Strategy games that improve my planning skills. Some puzzle games can also boost our problem-solving skill too.
 
I also discovered that when I played Portal for a long time, it enhanced my thinking ability. It also makes me remember things much better. That's a great impact on me. Historical games like Assassin's Creed teach us about different times and places.

I partly agree with you, many games can make you smarter. Some examples are puzzles, and strategy games. They can enhance your thinking such as problem solving abilities. But at the same time we should not play too much or rather playing should be done in moderation.
 
Playing games brings some critical thinking, which has helped me to become a better person in life. This is a great benefit that I never took for granted. Trust me when I say that it is one of the best decisions that I took by beginning to play games.

I do believe very much that there are some video games that actually enrich your mind and enhanced your intelligence capabilities. Strategies like chess, puzzles and over all strategy games do help in improving your mental faculties.
