Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop is a top-down shooter game developed by Reactive Drop Team. However, it is worth noting that Reactive Drop is merely an expansion pack for Alien Swarm. The base game, meanwhile, was developed by no one other than Valve themselves. This, combined with the fact that both the game and the expansion are completely free on Steam, have earned the game its “overwhelmingly positive” rating. The main focus of Alien Swarm is its co-op mode, where four players form a tactical squad to fight against alien bug-like creatures. But Reactive Drop adds other game modes as well. Several PvP modes were added, such as your usual deathmatch, team deathmatch and instagib. A singleplayer mode is available as well. Although you have to act as a part of a squad in this game, there’s plenty of room for individuality as well. The players have four different character classes available to them, and can choose their gear and weapons. The game’s already extensive arsenal has grown even larger with Reactive Drop; there’s plenty to choose from. Unfortunately, this is a Windows-only game. Don’t be disappointed, though; it is still possible to play Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop on Mac. How? Read the guide below and find out.

Splitgate is a F2P first-person multiplayer shooter developed by 1047 Games. Although in some ways it plays just like your regular shooter, the game has a unique twist that has quite a significant impact on gameplay and tactics. Portals. Each player in Splitgate is capable of placing portals at will, granting them exceptional levels of mobility. Physical distance becomes quite meaningless in these conditions, though line of sight continues to play an important role. That said, portals aren’t a magical win button, especially when your opponent has the ability as well. Teleporting to the enemy base wouldn’t grant you a huge advantage, you will simply get shot a second later. Perhaps you have the bright idea of teleporting behind the enemy? They’ll quickly catch on, too. The best gameplay strategy in Splitgate is to be fast. Launch yourself into the air and try to land a few shots as you are propelled by the force of momentum. Teleport around constantly to confuse your enemy and make them lose track of you. Your opponents will be doing the same thing, which gives the game an enjoyably hectic feel. It can be played on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Windows, and even SteamOS. OS X, however, is not supported. Our guide will teach you some ways to bypass this and play Splitgate on Mac anyway.

SnowRunner is an off-road driving simulator developed by Saber Interactive. The game features several large maps to explore and a rather accurate terrain simulator. It is capable of replicating the experience of driving through mud, snow, water (including running water), and ice. But driving around is not all you can do. SnowRunner features three types of missions that you can complete. Contracts require you to deliver cargo to a certain destination. Most Tasks ask you to tow a stranded vehicle, though some of them have other requirements. Completing Contests involves driving to a given point while on a time limit and, possibly, under other restrictions. Collecting trucks is another thing the player can engage in. Although the game features 40 different trucks, only one is available from the beginning. The rest have to be unlocked. Most can simply be bought with in-game currency, but some can be unlocked through exploration, or by completing specific missions. Each truck in the game has certain stats, which can result in radically different driving experience. SnowRunner can be played on PS4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S, Switch, and Windows. But you can play SnowRunner on Mac as well even though it is not an officially supported platform. Read the guide below to learn more.

Prominence Poker is – you guessed it – a poker game, developed and published by Pipeworks Studios. The game takes place in a city named Prominence, founded by some rather shady and unscrupulous characters.

Skully is an unusual platforming game where you play as an animated skull. Developed by an indie development studio Finish Line Games, the game received generally positive reviews. Although most animated skulls possess the supernatural power of floating, which helps them look rather ominous, you are not one of them. Your primary option for movement is rolling, alongside hopping and skipping. Luckily, skulls don’t get dizzy, so nothing will stop you from mastering these movement options. Indeed, this will be necessary to solve the game’s platforming and puzzle challenges. In addition to your decidedly un-spooky moves, you have access to three different forms, and can transform between them at will. This is hardly the best magic power a skull can have, but it’s not the worst either – choosing the right form for the job will make your second life a lot easier. Over the course of 18 levels, set in 7 different biomes, you will experience a charming story about a quarrel between several gods. Meanwhile, another deity is trying to end the conflict; this is why you were reanimated in the first place. Skully is available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Windows. There’s no OS X version, but you can play Skully on Mac anyway; the guide below will explain the specifics.

Iron Harvest is a real-time strategy game with a focus on singleplayer. It has been developed by KING Art and published by Prime Matter. Set in alternate 1920s, the game features a strong dieselpunk aesthetic. Some might say that it’s quite improbable that nations all over the world would suddenly develop diesel-powered mecha suits, especially as they’re recovering from the Great War. And mecha suits don’t really make sense anyway, I mean, have you ever heard of square-cube law? Why put legs on a tank when you can give it tracks? Iron Harvest has a simple answer to these complains; however improbable, the idea is fun. This is where the arguments end and mecha-powered action begins. A mysterious force is plotting to take over the world, and so, war-ravaged Europe has no choice but to fight once more. Iron giants will march through the devastated landscapes and liberate Europe over the course of three singleplayer campaigns. Iron Harvest also provides a unique option, to play through these campaigns in co-op mode instead. The game is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows. Our guide will allow you to play Iron Harvest on Mac as well. Keep reading to learn more.
