Fallout: London is a total conversion mod for Fallout 4, created by Team FOLON. As you may be able to infer from the name, it provides a uniquely British take on post-apocalypse. Although some believe that Fallout games should only be set in America, others would find this unofficial change of setting quite refreshing and enjoyable. As a total conversion mod, Fallout: London is massive in scope, featuring an entirely new world map and story campaign. The story itself is rather complicated – something that can not be said about Fallout 4 – as it features a conflict between seven different factions. These include the remnants of the British government, a criminal syndicate, an order of knights inspired by King Arthur, and a secretive organization which is rumored to control everything from the shadows. Other aspects of the game – such as most in-game items, radio stations, and music tracks – have also been replaced to suit a British aesthetic. Since Fallout: London is a mod for Fallout 4, it is only playable on Windows PC. Although PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game do, in fact, support mods, Fallout: London is simply too big for these platforms. However, there are some unofficial ways to play it on Mac; scroll down to learn how.

EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 is a third-person shooter game developed by SANDLOT. It features a simplistic story about fighting giant alien monsters, with both fights and cutscenes that are intentionally over the top. Though this may disappoint people who play games for their plot, the end result is actually very fun. Every mission in the campaign is clever – not story-wise, but from a gameplay perspective. The objectives are all meaningfully different from each other and new enemies are carefully introduced to make sure the game never feels stale. This feat is especially impressive when you consider that Earth Defense Force 6 features more than a hundred missions in total, and that some of them also change on higher difficulty levels. There’s a lot of content in the game; if you wanted to, you could easily sink hundreds of hours into it. But, because of the game’s massive size, some of the corners have been cut. EDF frequently re-uses assets, and there was no room in the budget for luxuries like making a Mac version. Despite that, you can play Earth Defense Force 6 on Mac just fine; read our guide to learn how.

Norland is a colony simulator game developed by Long Jaunt and published by Hooded Horse. Drawing clear inspiration from RimWorld, the developers put their own spin on it – a strongly medieval aesthetic. As such, the society is Norland is divided into two groups, nobles and peasants. And – here’s a twist – you can’t directly control peasants. You can control nobles, and nobles can issue orders telling peasants what to do, but they will not always obey these orders. It is thus essential to keep your peasants happy, or at least terrified, to ensure their compliance. They do most of the work, after all. Nobles themselves also need management, but of a different kind. They can conduct research by reading books, lead armies, and court other nobles for marriage. It’s all very grounded… unlike many “medieval” games, this one does not feature magic of any kind. Unfortunately, there are other things Norland doesn’t feature, like the macOS version. It’s hard to blame an Early Access game for not supporting Mac, of course, but it’s disappointing nonetheless. Thankfully, you can play Norland on Mac even though the game doesn’t officially support the platform. The article below explains how to do it.

Dungeonborne is a multiplayer dungeon crawler game developed by Mithril Interactive. The game resembles an “extraction shooter”, except it is set in a fantasy world. Therefore, you will not see any actual guns in the game; the niche of long-range combat is occupied by bows and spells. And for close-ranged combat, of course, there are swords, axes, and knives. There are many other weapons in the game as well – as this is just a brief overview – which also feature tons of modifiers. The builds can thus get complex, and looting becomes incredibly satisfying. Loot isn’t the only thing that determines your build, either; Dungeonborne features eight distinct classes. There are your typical melee-focused classes like Fighter and Rogue, support classes like Priest, and magic-based classes like Pyromancer. Compared to Dark and Darker, Dungeonborne is more fun, more engaging, and extremely friendly towards f2p players! That’s right, you can play this game without paying a dime, and you wouldn’t even be restricted in any meaningful way. There’s only one catch: the game doesn’t have a native macOS version. But even this issue can be easily resolved. Several ways to play Dungeonborne on Mac are listed in the guide below.

Nobody Wants to Die is a first-person detective game developed by Critical Hit Games. Explore the futuristic world where immortality is common, and death is a thing of the past… generally speaking. Tragic accidents and murders still happen, and – since you are a detective – it’s your job to stop the latter. You utilize advanced technology and even time travel to resolve the cases, but this one will prove to be tricky nonetheless. That said, Nobody Wants to Die heavily prioritizes story over gameplay, so even the hardest puzzles are not especially challenging. This should not be taken as a criticism of the game – story-driven games can deliver superb experiences – but it’s worth keeping this in mind to avoid disappointment. Right now, the game is available only on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PC, but there are some unofficial ways to play it on Mac as well. Read this short article to learn more.
