>Would it be possible that ANY video game has a positive effect on ADHD?
Some have very detrimental effects. Games are inherently interesting. Usually much more interesting than homework and/or housework. So, you start playing video games and all of a sudden you can't switch your attention back to the homework or housework when you need to. This causes lots of friction between you and the other people in your life that expect things of you.
It's a fundamental difficulty of regulating attention, not staying focused. That means either keeping it on something when you need to OR switching it away from something when you need to.
In my experience an enormous class of problems stems from being unable to switch your attention away from something that has just absolutely grabbed a hold of you and that causing you to be scolded by those around you day in day out for not meeting expectations.
