That list above is what I was mainly thinking of. Here's a few more with great storytelling, done in various ways (sometimes non obvious but they all have a story to tell that kept me hooked)
I don't recall any physical violence in the following games, although psychological violence can be very personal and some may run you in a mood or facing events that can be unsettling at times. Some of these have neither.
Gone Home
The Swapper
Fez
Day Of The Tentacle
VVVVVV
You Have To Win The Game
Braid
Shelter 1 & 2
Her Story
Portal 1 & 2
Thomas Was Alone
One Night Stand
The Stanley Parable
Antichamber
Carto
RiME
Oxenfree
Never Alone
Life Is Strange
Soma and the Amnesia series could be of interest as well. I seem to recall it's all about fear, but not violence.
Mirror's Edge has punching but you don't kill anyone and you can avoid most encounters, with parkour style. Definitely not COD.
Limbo and Inside have gore but clearly not the COD one.
While enemies have guns and the setting may subscribe to "war-like", I seem to recall you can also complete Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut without lethal action (in the original non DC bosses have to be killed) which is rewarded with an achievement at the end of the game.
Heavy Rain is also a great game with original mechanics. Don't attempt to play with PS Move, use a controller.
Some of these are good for kids, some aren't, depends on kid age and how you want to raise them!
- riezebos 4y agoAlthough they are less violent than COD, I think your memory might be a bit off on some of these. 2 examples: In Portal 1 & 2 there are quite a lot of robots that trying to kill you with guns.[0] In Mirror's Edge there is a lot of parkour but there's also killing people with various guns.[1] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NBDulvHYr8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NBDulvHYr8 [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbcaMnQD7G8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbcaMnQD7G8
- lloeki 4y ago> In Portal 1 & 2 there are quite a lot of robots that trying to kill you with guns Correct. I should have put it aside, although the player only throws portals around to solve puzzles using his brain. And we can definitely describe GLaDOS as being a violent being. > In Mirror's Edge there is a lot of parkour but there's also killing people with various guns Wow I completely forgot about that in Mirror's Edge. I think I completed the game without ever using a gun and then forgot they ever existed in the game.
