Could there be any copyright/trademark issues with a site dedicated to a certain computer game?

In general. There is one game that is far from popular compared to others, but.
Can there be any problems if you create an information site dedicated to this game (trademark registered), where, of course, there will be no hacks, mods, cheats, but only some guides, instructions for search traffic?
The site domain does not contain the direct name of the trademark (name of the game) (except for a slight similarity), the site will use screenshots from the game, including the logo (and derived from it, the same favicon) containing a certain part of the gameplay.
In the text, of course, there will be mentions of the name of the game, including in the title and description of the main page

Could there be any problems at least in theory? In the absence of monetization or, conversely, its presence?

Well, at least you need to show by all means that you are not trying to pretend that you are an official source and / or represent the creators of this game.
Otherwise, there should be no problems until the creators of the game do something similar - then they can start suing, because you will be their direct competitor.
According to this principle, all sites with mods / reviews / wikis and other live quietly)

Everything will depend on how the authors of the game will react to this site.
If you like it - maybe they will roll off the buns.
If there is a FSU .. (which usually happens) - they will simply kill
you. If you don’t like it, they will easily shoot you.
