Dead Frontier 2 is a survival-focused MMO developed by Creaky Corpse Ltd, a single-person studio. The game begins as you wake up at a police station. You were not arrested, nor is there any police left to arrest you – instead, the station is one of the few safehouses for the survivors of the zombie apocalypse. But, of course, you cannot hide behind its walls forever. The world outside may be harsh, but hunger pities no one – you will have to leave to scavenge for food, weapons, medication, and so on… thankfully, there are plenty of abandoned buildings and ruins for you to comb through. While outside, you may also choose to embark on quests given to you by NPC survivors. At first, you may struggle to survive, but first steps are always the hardest. As you keep playing, you will gain experience and increase in level. This will allow you to unlock more types of weaponry, as well as gain special abilities. Eventually, you may find yourself powerful enough to prosper even in this post-apocalyptic world – indeed, perhaps you’ll get powerful enough to challenge the game’s numerous bosses. Though it has never released on any platform other than Windows PC, there are still several ways to play Dead Frontier 2 on Mac. Read the article below for step-by-step instructions.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command is a real-time strategy game released in 2022. With the RTS genre experiencing a bit of a resurgence, we finally got some new titles, and the fans of the genre are no longer forced to play decades-old games (though many continue to do so willingly). Not all of these newly-released RTS games are good, but Terran Command certainly is. Set in the Starship Troopers universe of Robert Heinlein, it delivers an immersive, gritty, and fairly unforgiving experience. The whole sci-fi universe of Starship Troopers is defined by humanity’s war with insectoid alien species known as Arachnids. Countless planets find themselves embroiled in this conflict, and just recently, another one got added to this list. Kwalasha is a barely-habitable rock with extremely hot climate, colonized only because of its attractiveness to the mining industry. With a weak, extraction-based economy, impoverished citizenry, and a nonexistent military, Kwalasha cannot hope to fend off the alien invasion on its own. The Mobile Infantry will be handling the threat, and you will be leading them. Officially, this game is available only on Windows PC. But what if you wanted to play Starship Troopers: Terran Command on Mac? There are several unofficial ways to accomplish this; learn about them in the guide below.

Star Trek Online is a free-to-play MMO game developed by Cryptic Studios. Though it is a bit old by now, it continues to receive updates and expansions; it is also less aggressively monetized compared to Star Trek Fleet Command. In this epic space game, you play as a captain of a spaceship – your own original character. As such, you will be given the freedom to customize them by selecting their gender and species, as well as by tweaking their appearance. The ship you’ll be flying can be customized as well, but don’t get too attached – since there’s more than six hundred of them available, you probably wouldn’t want to always pilot the same one. The game’s story takes place in 2409, thirty years after Star Trek: Nemesis. Collapse of the Romulan Empire, and the war between the Federation and the Klingons resulted in a galaxy far less stable than it once was. Yet, it also means there’s plenty of opportunities to fight and make a name for yourself. Officially, this MMO can be played only on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC, but it’s also possible to play Star Trek Online on Mac, if you’re willing to use unofficial methods. Learn about them in the guide below.

Shadows of Doubt is an innovative detective game done in a pixelated art style. Developed by ColePowered Games, it aims to be the first investigation-based sandbox. And although it is still in Early Access, it has already mostly succeeded at this goal. But how is this possible? One of the main limitations of detective games is that they need to be hand-crafted; they require the developer to come up with a mystery for the player to uncover. To solve this issue, Shadow of Doubt generates an entire city, with stores, apartments, interactive objects, and so on. It is then populated with AI-controlled people; most of them are simply going about their daily business, but some are serial killers. To perform murder, the killer AI needs to actually do it: to get near their victim, to use some kind of object capable of killing, and to get away. Since they exist in a larger simulated world, they will inevitably leave at least some clues. Thus, an endless series of murder mysteries can be procedurally generated. Currently, the developers support only one version of this game, the version for Microsoft Windows. But you can also play Shadows of Doubt on Mac – even though it doesn’t have an offical Mac version. Learn how to do it by reading the article below.
