Hi,
I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.
The closest thing you can do natively on Windows is create folders on the Desktop and separate these icons on the folders.
Right-click in a blank area > New > Folder
Is there a way to group icons together? Like how you can with a phone? I would really like to have my games and apps separated and organized

From the most simplistic (i.e. make folders) to third-party solutions that provide new interface capabilities. Some people find it better to not use the desktop but instead group their apps, games, etc. via the Start menu or using one of the many custom start menu apps out there.
You may want to join the discussions over at elevenforum.com to see some examples of what others are using.
Some products to consider include, Stardock Fences, StartAllBack, Open Shell, Start11, ExplorerPatcher, RetroBar, TrueLaunchBar, StartMenuX, and so on.
