QA in video games is not an engineering role. It's usually a butts-in-seat role where you're expected to dilligently follow a task list without deviating in the slightest. You're expected to follow the checklist, on repeat. If you have initiative, save it for after work. More senior qa roles will be designing test suites, maybe even developing them, but entry level game QA is not going to scratch a dev itch.
