A game for a child?

Hello, dear Habrazhitel!
There is an eight year old child. He wants to play computer games, but we want to protect him from violence as much as possible. 30-40 minutes a day.
The child himself wants something like GTA San Andreas, that is, to walk, drive around the city, a big map. But for obvious reasons, GTA is not suitable.
So, the question to the community is: what kind of non-violent walkers-riders-walkers are there, preferably with good graphics and no boobs.
Thanks in advance!

Driving simulators for students of traffic rules. Both drive and benefit.

DIRT 1 2 3, Portal 1 2, Audiosurf, Block that matter, Braid, Cogs, Crayon Physics, Edge, Machinarium are not hard but hits.

Friends have a reward system for time on the computer.
There is a base time per day of 40 minutes (I can’t vouch for accuracy), for a positive (five at school, helped around the house) 5-10 minutes of time are charged, for a negative it is removed.
But the most interesting thing is that parents set a multiplier for each toy (depending on the game) less than or equal to one.
Example: if you want CallOfDuty or GTA, then instead of the hour you earn, you get only 5 minutes of a real game.
As a result, the boy was cut in the main in the third heroes.

There was this old game, The Simpsons Hit & Run. Rated PEGI 7+. I didn’t play it myself, because. I'm not a Simsons fan. But like open-world (you can walk / ride anywhere), and quite harmless

When choosing a game, I advise you to pay attention to the PEGI icon that determines the age limit and the nature of the game.

What about games like SimCity?
Not GTA, but let the child make his own city :)

Maybe some of the Need for Speed'ov fit? In some version (whether Underground 2, or Carbon) there it was necessary to drive around a more or less open city and look for shops / races. There is Midnight Club Los Angeles, about the same. I don’t remember any particular cruelty, but of course it’s just a rider, you won’t get out of the car.

Burnout Paradise. Racing (cars only) with freedom of movement. If you do not count for cruelty the ability to cut other people's cars, then this is what you need.
For research and construction - Terraria or Minecraft. As for the second, you can cram a lot there due to mods, even cars and blocks that allow you to create flying ships.

I would like to see a real city and real people driving real cars on asphalt roads) In other words, GTA without crushed pedestrians, weapons, gangs and money.

Driver: Parallel Lines - like GTA, you can drive (or you can walk) around beautiful New York, listen to great funk music, but alas, you can also shoot-kill-crush people and leave the police there too.
And just like you can drive in Need for Speed.

First of all, logical quests come to mind. My wife played Syberia, I haven't heard any others)) I played NeverHood myself a long time ago, a great quest, although it's already old.

Scrapland: Chimera Chronicles. Game of 2005, but one of my favorites so far :) The principle of the game is taken from GTA (complete freedom of action). By the way, American McGee participated in the creation of the game, so the humor in the game is not even bad :)

My opinion is that the child should start with simple toys like Tetris, but in no case should they be allowed to play shooters, etc.
