I find that basically any video game is educational. From the most basic form of just teaching you new vocab to things like seeing into a job you haven't or wouldn't do in real life. Games are basically virtual work that's been made a bit more safe/easy/fun. You can grow digital vegetables and walk away knowing a bit more about that process than before playing. A game's dialogue and story may present philosophical themes that impact your real life, quite similar to reading a book or watching a movie. The digital resources that don't cost you money also allow you to build things and think through things you otherwise couldn't. This is Minecraft's big appeal. You can't necessarily cut down the trees in your real yard, build structures without permits, and so on. Games with online social elements also present similar benefits to hanging out with people. If you're fighting monsters with a group, you may talk about all sorts of things in your downtime.
