I think writing unit tests before you write the implementation is objectively better, but I'm really bad at taking my own advice there.
Write as much code as you can as black boxes so you can write unit tests for them. I've never written a class I then wrote unit tests for that I didn't find a bug or two in.
Yes there are plenty of places you can write unit tests in games! Almost all systems can be distilled into a manipulatable data structure. How your game code interacts with and uses them is testable.
For instance I have a heavily tested class that manages day/night/time progression. Also my item & inventory management.

I'm planning to write a simple game engine from scratch. Goal is to have as few dependencies as possible.
I think I finally know enogh math / cs to do it. I don't have any working code base yet. But I've already started to put things together, and it is going really well so far :--)
I will be using this account to post game dev and general development things.
