What is the ruling on playing games that contain images of women, without looking at them, and what is the ruling on looking if the image is not provocative?

If the images of women in the game arouse instincts and lead to corruption, then it is not permissible to play it, even if there is an intention not to look at them, because playing might entice a person to look at them, and there is no need to play such games. However, if the images do not arouse instincts and there is no fear of corruption from them, then the prohibition of looking at them is not apparent, due to the difference between looking at cartoon images and real looking. Nevertheless, it is safer to avoid such games entirely.
