Last times I ask a question but it was a bit too broad, so I narrowed a bit the scope to have more precise answer.
I'm trying to make a list. It seems old game had a lot of them, I vaguely remember a game call night shift for example. Seiklus and that other early indie platformer I forgot the name too ...

Every Extend and Fantavision, unless you count the action of exploding as inherently violent. Most pinball games. Pokemon Snap

Does it count as violence if the player can experience bodily harm in any way?

No, because your actions are passive. Only the enemies can attack you. It's a good example.

What about action puzzle games like Intelligent Qube?

Haunting Ground kind of marginally counts -- there's violence and it's a survival horror game but you can't really fight in it, and the emphasis is on hiding and running away. You can sic yr. German Shepherd on dudes to like distract them while you run away.

Also what about games where pacifist runs are possible, but not compulsory, like Ikaruga?

Do the diseases you treat in Trauma Center count as "fighting" (eg, the

stages have you chasing around razor fish with a laser while stitching up the lacerations they make)? Otherwise, it's entirely a game about saving people, even characters who engage in violence against the protagonists during cutscenes.

Even if Trauma Center is disqualified, Trauma Team eliminates the GUILT stages and has you treating ordinary diseases throughout the game.

Don't you stomp enemies in Ink? Or are you thinking of a different Ink?

oh right you stomp enemies.... the fact they are color cubes, i just thought it suited here because there is no emotional link so it means there is no violence. (it's just my point of view)

Maybe that's the reason some people think of Shadows of Colossus as a non violent game

What about an action game where the enemies try to attack you but you have to strategically time landing a hug on them to calm them down
