I used to miss more than half of all LG questions on preptests. I often wouldn't even get past the second game! What really helped me was drilling games (the Fool Proof method) with Cambridge LSAT games (PT #1-35) grouped by type. I started with simple sequencing and did all the games, in order of difficulty, again and again and one after the other until I could do them all in under 10 minutes. Then I moved on to the other types after I mastered one set. It does get boring and monotonous, but you'll quickly see how all the games are the same. There just aren't that many possible rules or combinations of rules; LSAC tries to disguise this fact by dressing them up and using complicated language, but you've got to look past all that. Once I figured this out, I got a lot faster.
In the last month or so I've seen my preptest scores jump from the low 160s to the low 170s based almost entirely on my improvements in LG. Games mastery is definitely possible! I used to think that my brain just wouldn't work in the way that the LSAT requires and that maybe I was intellectually unfit for the practice of law, but the truth is that games ARE immensely learnable, and if you put in the work, you WILL improve. Now I'm just hoping I can replicate my recent success on the Dec test, just two days away. :)
