Classic LucasArts point'n'clicks in general
The Paper Mario games (specifically the original and The Thousand-Year Door) technically have violence, but it's obviously rather cartoonish
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Siberia.
Firewatch - about 6 to 10 hours narrative walking exploring adventure with beautiful scenery. Teens and up probably.
Outer wilds : astonishing space exploration game. So many mysteries and puzzles and wonders and connections to be made. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Tale of two brothers. There's sadness in this game but handled very well. If you're ready to discuss life and death with your kids. Beautiful graphics and fun puzzles.
Machinerium / Botanicula / Samorost, of course. Beautiful and lovely and happiness inducing.
Tons of point and click adventures.
Coop
It takes two - might be super fun for your kids to play as parents! Beautiful graphics and fun gameplay.
Lovers in dangerous space time - technically there's guns but nothing with people or anything recognizable.
Overcooked - if no guns is really a strict mandate :)
Age of Empires series. It is like taking History lessons with strategic thinking skills.
Outer Wilds. (Not to be confused with Outer Worlds which came out around the same time.) While the game is non-violent in that you never actively harm anything, your character will die, a lot, in maybe concerning ways (crushed, out of air, crashed, etc). It also has a story with themes that may be over your kids’ heads. Look up reviews to see more.
* The Fall Part 1 and 2. (has some, but again, not the core)
* Later Alligator (very sweet)
* SOMA (horror)
Journey, flower, Minecraft, Astroneers
I loved playing The Witness with my daughter. "Where are the bad guys?" "No one is here, honey. Just us." Reminds me I should revisit Myst and Riven.
