Difference in file size is HUGE when comparing game recording and screen recording.

So I have been recording my game sessions for a long time and just thought 1GB was normal for a 5 minute long clip in 1080p 60fps. Then I tried recording the screen instead for a school project. the video was 18 minutes long but only took up 0.2GB of space. They have the same resolution and fps.
I have tried several games and it seems like it has to do with how much resources are being used. A heavier to run game takes more space.
Is that the reason for this, and can i fix it.

The more the content on the screen changes, the more bits are needed to represent it. Desktop / browsing is fairly static and infrequently changing, so it doesn't need as much data as games which have full screen movement.
