Hey guys
I have just started a gaming blog on WordPress and I intend on adding games as a custom post to my website. My idea is to give each game a unique page on my website.
For example, Marvel's Spider-Man will have a page on my website with this url: mygamingblog.com/games/marvels-spider-man/
So in this page, I want to have different tabs for like news, reviews, galleries, videos and more. I have two questions:
1- I don't have any programming experience, but I've designed websites with both Elementor and WP Bakery, can I be able to do what I want to do here with them?
2- Do I have to use any other plugins to build this custom post on my website?
 
In 2022, URL silos are not that important.

You can put all your posts in root URL. abc.com/spider-review, abc.com/10best-spiders, And create category page in the same way: abc.com/news, abc.com/reviews

What matters is contextual interlink your posts from/to parent pages to make virtual silos.

URL silos have one big drawback is that when one post can belong to multiple sections(e.g. a news post but also a spider reivew), it's hard to determine the URL.

Unless you are building a super siloed website, I'd suggest give up the idea. That structure does not benefit you but only messes you up later.
 
Use WP Pods to set up your CPT information and structure. Use WP Permalink manager pro to fine tune your permalinks.
