I'm an atheist, and not exactly fond of religion in general (to put it mildly) and to be honest I don't think I even noticed any of the christian stuff in Driftmoon. It definitely didn't bother me one bit. It's a great, charming little RPG.

You think that'll still apply to their next game? ;)

Yeah ,they do it a lot lately.
Maybe they did it cause it is not a GoG game, but thats not my fault, wish the latest Anno game was here.
I just went throu my games list and skipped everything with killing/magic in it.

I'm not Catholic but I am a conservative Christian. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a must-play for Christian gamers, IMO. It's definitely not a Christian game, per-se, but it revolves around themes of living a life of integrity, righteousness and honor. Thanks to its historical setting, most of the people are Catholic, too. You CAN be the bad guy in that game and it's not 100% squeaky clean in terms of content, but it upholds and promotes many Christian ideals.

I'd recommend the Divinity series. It's not a Christian series but clearly takes some story inspiration from the Bible. As long as you go in realizing that it's only meant to be fiction, it's pretty cool. The world of Rivellon is a high fantasy world that doesn't specifically glorify magic and it even warns of the dangers of magic. It's full of lighter-hearted themes and humor, but also plenty of epic storytelling. It kinda feels like Narnia if Narnia were a bit sillier and not specifically designed as an allegory for the Bible.

Also, even though it definitely has plenty of content that one might object to (reasonable amounts of nudity, lots of swearing, hefty violence), I find that a lot of the themes present in Cyberpunk 2077 showcase what happens when you allow your political beliefs to get out of balance. It's not propaganda for either side of the political spectrum and might be considered a libertarian's paradise in that regard, but at the same time, I draw a lot of pro-conservative themes from the game. People argue with me over that but I see plenty of places where it shows the value of a conservative worldview. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is okay with games that have content they're not particularly keen on, only for the sake of the narrative. I see the world in the Cyberpunk franchise as an example of what happens when the common man is forsaken for whimsical ideologies from one side AND the issues that arise when the other side is too firm in their beliefs that they cause the opposite of what they're trying to cause.

Yeah and I bet they were hypocrites too or a wowser

As a non practicing Christian btw i enjoy a variety of games.... but even with my bucket load of sins i do seem to favor playing for the ' light ' ... good' ol Christian social standards and really not to much hellish sights or ridiculous game mechanics.

Mass Effect ( Bioware overall is a pretty safe bet ) is a big plus in my book but maybe just a tad to much for someone who lives by the book, as are some of the war games, China developed games btw do also pretty well since they condone actually the same sorts of actions though taken from a different stand point ( games such as Tales of Wuxia, guijan 3 and a couple of china made war games Three Kingdoms ( not the total war one etc ) could be recommendations. War games overall and especially the more statistical ones are always more then oke. Games such as Panzer Corps or Unity of Command are both excellent in challenge and offer. Most 4x games such as Stellaris or a Civ are also more then fine to enjoy.
I actually know quite a lot of Christians who find their joy in Warhammer which may be a step back into the dark ages as earlier discussed in this post but hey.. in that respect it is any adult for himself. Personally i enjoyed Warhammer 2 and others a lot.... not to mention how i enjoyed playing as ' Chaos ' with as only goal to destroy everything. But Brettonia is nice too ;-)

There are lots of adventures and similar typed games that seem to always fit, The long journey home for example or Faster then Light. oh and Lego of course. Lego games are cool :-)

I use commonsensemedia.com to check out games. It helps me tremendously.

Another vote for Driftmoon. Atheist here, but the Christian details are kind of fun. It's not preachy, and I don't recall that it was a significant part of the story. Actually, not sure it's in the story at all; I think it might just come up in some of the filler that you can encounter as you explore.

And it's a solid game. Softcore RPG, good for introducing a young 'un to the hobby. Put it this way: a jaded old fart like me was completely charmed by the game.

To be perfectly honest, only integrity of these things can be seen as a part of Christian ideal.

Ok... people made it to page 3 while staying civil, but I just have to ask this, is this a closet "SJW" thread? I get that people want games that suit their believes, but frankly, I would say that much of the pre-2010 gaming is relatively conservative, presenting classic good vs. evil themes, traditional gender roles (save the princess), or focus on heroic males solving the problems of the world? Outside of the recent burst of liberal agendas, gaming mostly was more on the conservative side.

If sex is an issue, that drops some games; if violence is an issue, that drops a lot more. Guess if battling God is an issue, that drops a good deal of JRPGs. I get that OP wants to keep it vague, but I honestly have trouble understanding what is meant with the question...

Anyhow... if you look for anything without violence, just about everything by Amanita Design is great.

The unironically most catholic game on here is probably Blasphemous.

I haven't finished it yet so I don't know if it's completely "friendly" but does Gorogoa count? Neat puzzle game.

The question in its self is not that difficult. The main focus revolves around specifying a background for the people who like to commit to the discussion and the other one is aimed at your experience with games.

But yea, closet SJW..... It is a nice term, feels a bit out of touch with the explanations that follows though, but yea in a way i guess any good christian, and maybe even bad ones... i guess bad ones would be sooner to receive that title,
can be conceived as a SJW by parties using those words

No, I didn't mean that OP is that, but was wondering if this thread was basically asking for games without content that is now often labeled as SJW in a derogative way, meaning a certain flavor of contemporary liberalism.

I don't think the question is clear at all. I could totally see how people have different understandings of what is a christian game, ranging from not playing a character they believe to be morally rotten, to games without violence or sex to games with christian themes (e.g. crusaders) or games without liberal views on homosexuality, etc.

In some terms, DOOM is a christian game about some white beefcake purging demons, but if christian means family entertainment to you, than it is not.

pff even you got downvoted
