My advice would be to not focus too much on learning everything. Focus on a simple thing, like movement (vim-adventures.com/), and navigating between insert / visual modes. Vim doesn't need to be any more daunting than this to start with.

From the super basics, you can then just ask yourself what you are doing that feels inefficient. For example, pressing j lots of times over and over to move down, or k lots of times to move up. Then look for a shorter way to do this (i.e. Ctrl + u, Ctrl + d respectively).

Keep doing this iterative improvement and before you know it you'll look like a wizard to anyone else.

Speaking of games that can help you to learn vim, there's also PacVim.
