The word I want to use here is "innocent." Nintendo's Miitopia is a kid-friendly take on a typical Japanese RPG, where friendship is the most mechanically powerful weapon there is.

In Miitopia, you’ve got a quest, a hero, a kingdom, and a bunch of monsters to slay, in the most deliberately generic storyline this side of Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. The catch is that you can recast any of the human characters, from your hero to the ultimate villain, via Nintendo’s Mii character creator.

The game comes pre-installed with a number of user-created avatars that infringe copyright. But it's also a lot of fun to create your own avatars and place them in (in)appropriate places around the kingdom.

Miitopia is an easy 30-hour RPG that largely plays itself. It’s aimed at the under-12 crowd, but has plenty of micromanagement elements to keep min-maxers busy. And most importantly, it’s too relentlessly cheerful not to enjoy.
