As my children are adults, it's up to them to decide which toys and games they wish to declutter, and which ones they want to keep. The only toy The Beloved and I really have is Lego, and there would be major ructions if I suggested decluttering Lego. It's in an Ikea toy box, all neat and contained. It's totally fine where it is, and it's great to have if younger people come to visit, or The Beloved decided to get a bit 'blocky'.
Stuffed animals is a slightly different matter. I have decided to keep a stuff animal from each offspring's childhood. And then there's a teddy bear given to me years ago. The Beloved has two elephants (Big Ellie and little Ellie) and a dog, Benji. They are going nowhere.
Our board games were decluttered a while back. The card games we have are played with, and I need to have a think about jigsaw puzzles. I like the idea of jigsaws, but very rarely do them.
Video/computer games - that's up to the people they belong to.
