Slaying your video game enemies can be fun, but it can be just as fun to unwind with something a little more peaceful or casual. Fortunately, there’s a seemingly endless supply of non-violent video games that are perfect for adults. In this story, we’ll round up some of our favorites. 
 

How does Epic Games define non-violent computer games?

Non-violent games generally deemphasize gore and violence. They take many forms and span many genres. Puzzle and simulation games that push you to think, plan, and respond can be just as engaging as competitive shooters. 
 

Best non-violent video games for PC

Tetris Effect: Connected

Tetris Effect: Connected breathes new life into the classic puzzle game’s formula. It’s a fundamentally peaceful, immersive, and even meditative puzzle gaming experience with gorgeous visuals and co-op gameplay. 
 

The Sims 4

The Sims series lets players create little digital people and watch them live out their lives. It’s like having a little human aquarium to play with. The Sims 4 is a great, casually paced, non-violent PC gaming experience that can keep you engaged and engrossed.
 

Overcooked 2

You may not normally think of cooking games as intense, but Overcooked 2 really turns up the heat. This frenetic little indie title supports up to four players in prepping, cooking, and plating meals in a variety of unideal situations. You might have to deal with an overwhelming amount of orders while rocking back and forth on a pirate ship or meal-prep while being attacked by giant monsters. While Overcooked 2 can get a little spicy at times, it’s a great non-violent indie game for a night with friends.
 

Moving Out

What could possibly be more adult than helping your friends move? Real-life furniture hauling isn’t anywhere near as enjoyable as playing Moving Out. You and up to three friends are tasked with running a moving company that has to handle some truly outrageous jobs, carrying furniture through a variety of challenging levels. Moving Out is a colorful and engaging non-violent game that turns a mundane real-life activity into a fun digital challenge.
 

KeyWe

Running a post office can be a challenge even in real life—but when you’re a tiny, flightless bird it’s a much more epic task. That’s essentially the concept behind KeyWe. You play as kiwi birds tasked with running a rather eccentric postal service. Players jump around solving puzzles and getting packages out the door. KeyWe is a cute, non-violent puzzle game for adults. 
 

Untitled Goose Game

Untitled Goose Game is a hilarious casual puzzle game sure to amuse any adult, as you go around stealing items from humans and honking at everything you see. It’s a great way to unwind after a long day and have a few laughs role-playing as the world’s most annoying goose. 
 

The Jackbox Naughty Pack

The Jackbox Naughty Pack is full of party games focused on adult humor. It takes some of The Jackbox Party Pack series’ most popular mini-games—full of drawing, guessing, deduction, and presentation—and spices them up for some mature-themed, no-kids-allowed fun. 
 

Planet Coaster 2

Theme park sims can be a great option for some non-violent computer game entertainment and Planet Coaster 2 is a great pick. Build and operate your own theme park and custom-build the most jaw-dropping roller coasters, waterslides, and many other rides. Once you’ve built your ultimate attraction, you can even ride it from a first-person perspective. Planet Coaster 2 is a game that’s great for most ages, but it’s definitely a great way for adults to unwind after a long day too.
 

Cities: Skylines

Cities: Skylines is an immersive city building simulator. Plan, execute, and manage everything from a small town to a bustling metropolis. As mayor, you manage budgets, city planning, and transportation. Do it right, and you’ll create the best possible infrastructure for your citizens and businesses to thrive. You can view your city from the skies above or zoom in to follow individual people as they move around town. 
 

House Flipper 2

In real adult life, renovating and remodeling a house can be a pain—but House Flipper 2 makes it fun and entertaining in game form. You tear down and clean up debris, and then remodel and redecorate houses and turn them into cash. This non-violent game option for adults may even give you a few ideas to spruce up your real-world digs.
