Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a stealth game developed and published by Konami Digital Entertainment. Despite “V” in the name, it is actually the ninth game in the Metal Gear series. The Phantom Pain is an open-world game set in Afghanistan during its war with the Soviets. This appropriately mountainous terrain can be traversed on foot, horseback, or via a vehicle. Of course, since this is a stealth game, you will not be able to simply go wherever you want – remaining undetected is often a requirement. The game’s protagonist, Venom Snake, is seeking revenge. His mercenary group, Militaires Sans Frontieres, was destroyed nine years ago. Now that he finally got an opportunity to find out who was responsible, he is going to seize it – even if it means venturing into an active warzone. However, during his pursuit, he will also discover a sinister plot, leaving him with no choice but to get involved. This game released in September 2015 on PS3 & 4, Xbox 360 & One, and, naturally, Windows PC. But it is also possible to play Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain on Mac. Several unofficial methods can be employed for this purpose; learn all about them in the guide below.

NieR: Automata is an Action-RPG published by Square Enix. Although focused primarily on hack-n-slash combat, the game also features shoot-em-up gameplay sections. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity went extinct, NieR: Automata depicts a conflict between androids – who were created by humans a very long time ago – and “machines”, a robotic invasion force from outer space. The fighting has been going for millennia, and it doesn’t seem like there’s an end in sight. The game’s extensive story requires multiple playthroughs to fully experience, and features multiple protagonists. Initially, you will play as combat android YoRHa 2B and her reconnaissance-focused companion 9S, but will unlock another playable character later. Though the main quest of the game is fairly linear, the player’s actions do have an effect: the story can conclude in five different ways. There are also “alternate” endings, 21 in total, that end the story prematurely (most of these are bad endings). NieR: Automata released in 2017 on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC. Later, the developers also released a Nintendo Switch version of the game, but it’s unlikely that it’ll ever receive a Mac port. Despite this, it is possible to play NieR: Automata on Mac. Read the article below to learn how such a thing is possible.

ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights, also known simply as Ender Lilies, is a 2D metroidvania game in a dark fantasy setting. It is hardly the only game in the genre that features this style; Salt and Sacrifice and Vigil: The Longest Night are similarly grim metroidvania games. But Ender Lilies does have several things that help it stand out. Quite a lot of emphasis was put on the story. As a result, Ender Lilies delivers an emotionally memorable experience; a tragic experience that just might leave you crying and staring at a wall with unseeing eyes. Gameplay-wise, Ender Lilies is very challenging, but rewarding. Many reviews for the game compare it with Hollow Knight – and considering the acclaim that game has gathered, this cannot be anything other than a strong recommendation. If you are interested in playing metroidvania games – even if this interest is merely passing – you should give Ender Lilies a try. If you’re playing on Windows PC, PS4, Xbox (both One and Series X/S), or the Nintendo Switch, doing so is very easy. Simply buy the game on your platform’s marketplace and start playing. For OS X users, the process is a bit more challenging, but it is still possible to play Ender Lilies on Mac. Read the guide below if you want to learn how to do it.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a turn-based strategy game inspired by XCOM. Published by FUNCOM, this game takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth where humanity went extinct; the only surviving people are mutants. Way too often, games that are said to be “inspired” by another game are simply lazy clones. This one, however, is not. Though it does play similarly to XCOM, there are also major differences. For one, you are limited to a team of three unique characters; naturally, this puts you at a rather severe disadvantage. As such, combat in this game is much more focused on stealth than on direct confrontations. Several entirely new mechanics were created, designed to help you sneak by your enemies and pick them one by one. Make sure to utilize them: without the numbers on your side, a patient and tactical approach is the only way to succeed. This game can be played on several platforms: Windows PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. But it is also possible to play Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden on Mac. The detailed instructions contained in the guide below should make this an easy task.

My Summer Car is a car mechanic simulator developed and published by Amistech Games. Although driving is a prominent activity within the game, is it far from the only thing you will have to do. For example, you do not even start the game with a working car; you will have to assemble one. With more than a hundred different parts in the game, this is no easy task – just like in real life. Once finished, you will be able to use your car to participate in rallies, or simply to drive around for fun. But the mechanical concerns don’t end once the car is assembled; it will need maintenance and, occasionally, even repair. And if you have some in-game money to spare, you will also be able to improve it by purchasing and installing various aftermarket components. As such, you will be able to customize the car and make it truly yours. My Summer Car is officially available only on Microsoft Windows. But there are several tricks that can be used to play My Summer Car on Mac as well. To learn more about them, read the article below.

PlanetSide 2 is a free-to-play online shooter developed by Rogue Planet Games and published by Daybreak Game Company. Although the game was released more than 10 years ago, in 2012, it is still popular and continues to receive updates to this day. Unlike many online shooting games, PlanetSide 2 is massively multiplayer – hundreds of players can simultaneously exist in the same world, fighting or aiding each other. At the same time, it attempts to retain the fast-paced nature of match-based shooter games. With a press of a single button, you can teleport your character into a random fight; the players do not have to wander around in the world unless they so choose. The game takes place in a distant future; many new technologies were developed during that time. Nanomachines allow humanity to rapidly assemble any technological device, and even immortality has been achieved. Though these developments allowed many worlds to attain unprecedented prosperity, the planet Auraxis instead ended up in an eternal three-way war. Since no-one can permanently die anymore, there is no reason for the planetary factions to ever stop fighting. Officially speaking, this game is available only on Windows PC and PlayStation 4, but there are several unofficial ways to play PlanetSide 2 on Mac. Learn about them by reading the article below.
