It is forbidden to play games that involve magic and sorcery, such as glorifying sorcerers and imitating their actions, even if it is not real magic, because witnessing falsehood is an endorsement of it. As for playing games that contain music, its prohibition does not appear if the music is removed or its sound is muted, and the game is free from other religious prohibitions.
