Fainting is not the same as killing. Pokmon only does animal abuse, the number of deaths is extremely low (though not zero).

There's a few but they would be spoilers.

It's not my fault 20 billion people won't depopulate themselves to make room for my colony. Really, it's their fault. They made me do it.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Dark Souls 2. The fact that you can kill enemies enough times that they just stop respawning.

kinda like in Shadow of the Tomb Raider Lara makes a mistake early on that clearly kills thousands if not tens of thousands and the game never addresses it again. Like Lara grow a conscience lol

I'd say closest for me are various SimCity games, when I've occasionally wiped the terrain to restart.

Probably because sinking Crocodile Isle at the end affected mostly Kremlings.

DKC3 notably had mostly new Kremlings that were specifically genetic experiments.
Is that from the manual or something?

War crimes, yes, you violate more of the Geneva Conventions than you uphold, but not outright genocide.

It seems like there was an option to commit genocide in one of the Mass Effect games.
Metroid
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.

Last Defense Academy. To avoid spoilers, heck, sometimes you forget about the genocide to go on dates. Its silly like that.
The Katamari series

Most video games allow you to commit genocide if you think about it.

The Wing Commander series.

You straight up blow up the Kilrathi homeworld at the end of game 3 and wipe out most of their race.
Gears of War where you wipe out most of the Locust.

Halo where you have to wipe out the entire Flood. Metroid has Samus straight annihilate most of the Metroid species. Star Fox Assault has you erase the Aparoids.

Isn't her whole reason for doing everything she does is because she knows she fucked up horribly?
Bioshock gave us a fictional world showing why libertarianism doesn't work. Cryptos/NFTs gave us the real world example

You're not going to convince me that a level 100 Mewtwo blasting a level 2 Rattata with Hyper Beam isn't going to kill it

Gears of War where you wipe out most of the Locust.

Halo where you have to wipe out the entire Flood.

The Flood are literally zombie-like parasites hellbent on every races complete destruction.
Destroying them was Self Defense

Ditto for the Gears of War Locusts.

Now, what could constitute as a Crime against Humanity would be how the Locust were created, if i remember that lore correctly

No, it is not
Not when the Floods very nature is threatening galactic civilisation as a whole.
Destroying the Flood is no more a genocide than destroying the Smallpox virus
