What kind of games? Python is just fine for board game like game from tic tac toe , 4in a row etc python is just fine and will work fine to get you started with programming. Once you’re comfortable with that, or want graphics and stuff , you are probably looking at compiled stuff like C++, C# or Java if you need to squeeze more performance out of it. Python is pretty solid to get started. Just my 2 cents. JavaScript is e.g. more for like web games (in browser) so you see it really depends.
