Is video games haram

Assalamu'Alaikum. I want to ask something about video games. If I play a video game that has nothing haram in it and I don't play a lot but abount 2 to 3hrs a day. But I wanted to know if this falls under doubtful matters because it may lead to bigger sins? I noticed I get thoughts about that video game during prayer specifically... even though I am trying hard to not think about it. So if someone can tell me, is this something haram since it effects my prayer? I don't really have any other activities I can do outside, or any friends nearby. So if this is haram, and suggestion of what can be done for having some recreation time? May Allah (SWT) guide us. AMEEN.
