James Batchelor
A comprehensive guide to over 300 non-violent video games, from AAA studios to beloved indies.
What if there were video games that weren't about killing things?
The world's biggest entertainment medium has come under decades of scrutiny because of its violent content. But here's a little known fact: from the very beginning, non-violent video games have done as much, if not more, to shape the industry than violent ones.
The Best Non-Violent Video Games is the first ever guide to the full breath of interactive entertainment. Discover the true variety the medium has to offer and learn how developers constantly find new ways to engage people by challenging their minds, testing their reflexes, and even tugging at the heartstrings.
Take a journey through more than three hundred video games, stretching back to the very dawn of the industry and extending right up to modern day indie hits. You'll learn more about the origins of some of gaming's biggest franchises, discover underrated gems from developers of all sizes, and perhaps even find some new favorites.
Written by a journalist with over 15 years of industry experience and more than 30 years of gaming experience, this guide is for anyone seeking something truly different from the video games space without dealing with guns and gore, or those simply looking for a change of pace
