Most of the video games I have played recently require that during the plot you at least kill a person or any other life form, what games do you come up with that you shouldn't kill anyone in the game or that you can complete it peacefully, I can think of the sims, pokémon, and few others right now, do you know any game of this type?

Yes, "Sable."
You play a girl who travels across great landscapes on a flying bike, looking to learn more about herself, her surroundings, and to ultimately choose a personal/career.
The challenges are all natural. Climbing complex structures, solving puzzles, looking for specific items or people.
There's no violence or death. No life points. Just pure exploration.
I love it.
Sounds good, thanks for sharing, what console is it for?
It's a Windows PC game. It also runs well on Linux.

Kings Quest. Tim's World. Tony Hawk. Need for Speed.
I don't know the first two, but it's true in the last two you don't have to kill anyone.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think you might be able to beat the Fallout Games without killing. They're definitely violent games and it would be quite difficult, but there is usually a peaceful option for completing main quests.
I do generally try to play these games fairly peacefully, although I don't hesitate to defend myself.
In all Fallouts can you complete the game peacefully?
I’m not 100% sure, but they definitely made a point of usually having a peaceful option where you can rely on intelligence or charisma or other skills.
One of the reasons why I encouraged my kids to play Minecraft was because of this issue....yes, I know that you need to kill skeletons, .but my theory was, self-defense is fine. (and sure if you are psychotic/evil you can kill villagers).
I felt that Minecraft was a microcosm of christian morals...you have free will to be evil, but you get much further by not killing and instead focusing on productive building.
💯 agree.
I'm sorta in shock at the current state of gaming (or maybe I should say the 2010 state of gaming, because I no longer pay attention to it)
Imagine if I released a game, where the action was to run around a virtual world and torture and kill dogs.....people would be (rightly) outraged.
However, replace the dogs with humans and people think its "fun".
I can't think of any other word for that but 'demonic'.
Ask Michael Vick
This made me think about Banished. It’s a community building game that has no violent elements beyond hunting, fishing, and ranching; all of which are optional.
IMO, Banished is one of the more underrated games.
ohh
It's been so long since I've played, but Portal might be killing-free. I tend to prefer puzzle games and about as often as not don't have killing.
GLaDOS begs to differ. It's even written in the lyrics of Still Alive:
violent games are already out of fashion and repetitive
Are they? How do you tell?
Don't you think the market is full of video games that involve violence? and very few where to play peacefully?
Maybe it's just my perception and I haven't done enough research into peaceful games.
Why would there be more of them if they’re out of fashion? Or did you mean the opposite originally.

I'm absolutely against playing such games where you die or kill someone. I believe games should be built on the ethics like 'the game must go on like the show must go on'. Killing/dying are so heavy words that small kids should be away from them.
So you don't play any game that involves violence, do you?
Tetris. Tetris will never fail you, and will always calm you down. If it doesnt, usually you have thrown the gameboy against the wall and need to buy a new one. But the gray ones are pretty indestructible.
You're a real tetris lover huh, I like that.
I have played candy crush saga and coin master. In these games we need not kill anyone.
You're right, I've played those two and you don't have to kill anything.
I still play mario games on the switch with my kids - i.e. Wonder and Super Mario 3d world...ok you are technically killing the enemies I guess...although Mario Kart and F-Zero are fun and non violent! lol
Yes, in most mario games you have to "kill" enemies, but in mario kart you don't, although we might question whether in mario games you are actually killing something.
Mario definitely kills the turtles and the other enemies in the normal platform games.
In Mario Kart I don't think they die because they always come back with the cloud, so they are never killed. This is probably because the game is a racing game, where there aren't any kills usually in that genre.
Undertale definitely comes to mind. You can befriend "enemies" and the way you behave towards them also changes their attitude toward you (they don't attack you anymore)
It's true, I didn't remember Undertale, great game, and it's true that you can complete it in peaceful mode
Pinball games Card games Chess and board games Jewel and color matching games Casual games
Chess is debatable. Taking of pieces, if you squint really hard, is an abstract form of killing. It is however notable that checkmate does not actually remove the king from the board, but puts him into an impossible position.
To be clear, the difference between Chess and Call of Duty could not be more stark.
Isn't taking an opponent's piece referred to as a "capture"? This would seem to suggest they aren't being killed.
Excellent point! It indeed is referred to as capture. I stand corrected. Have some sats.

Good choices
Super Mario kart 😁🏎️ only race
Hahaha true
Do any of the LEGO games or Kirby count? LEGO games the characters fall into bricks and Kirby is more cartoony “dust”.
Both had semi-recent releases that are excellent, LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga and Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Some of the Metal Gear Solid games should be able to be completed without killing people. You're still knocking out and beating up people, and you do need to destroy the Metal Gears themselves, but there are usually a lot of non lethal options.
I've only played MGS 1 but I think I heard that you could complete it without killing anyone, interesting.
I don't think you can do it in MGS1, but I'm almost positive you can do it in 2 onward. I've never personally done it, but I try to use stealth and non lethal options whenever possible.
In the game Hitman you are supposed to not kill anyone.
It is still possible, but the goal is to complete the missions without any kills.
Any sports game, e.g. FIFA, Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer), Super Soccer, Super Tennis, etc...
Katamari_Damacy. In this game your objective is to roll a ball around that gets things stuck to it, making it larger and larger over time:

An old classic that fits this type is Myst, an adventure (puzzle-solving) game:

Here are some more examples from wikipedia
If you dont want to kill stuff, some genres can interest you:
If you want to reflect on violence in games, MOON Remix RPG Adventure could be a good call. Its graphics look a bit outdated, but besides that it is a good game. It also inspired Toby Fox, creator of Undertale, a lot.
view on www.youtube.comOxen free, Stardew valley, spiderman, Arkham series (if I recall he didn’t kill), outlast. Even street fighter. And a bunch of games where you challenge yourself not to kill
Many games genres don't involve killing. Puzzle games, musical rhythm games, racing games, sports games, party games to name a few genres.
