DCS World, also known as Digital Combat Simulator World, is a game developed by Eagle Dynamics SA. True to its name, it is a extremely detailed simulator of piloting various military vehicles: aircraft, tanks, ground vehicles, and even ships. Unlike many flight simulators, however, DCS World can be played as an actual game. This is achieved through its “missions” feature. An AI system capable of controlling all kinds of military equipment – air defense systems, trains, ships, aircraft, and more – allows users to create exceptionally detailed campaigns. It is worth noting that the base game is entirely free to download. You will be limited to two official maps, Caucasus and Mariana Islands, and two aircraft, Soviet Su-25T and American TF-51D. You can then purchase more official content such as vehicles (mainly planes), campaigns, and maps. Campaigns are generally cheap, while maps and planes often cost more than your average AAA game. Considering how detailed the simulations are, however, the price tag is understandable, if not pleasant. Thankfully, it is also possible to download user-made content, which is entirely free. Although it is an exclusively Windows game, you can play DCS World on Mac too using some third-party tools. The guide below will explain your options.

Hard West 2, developed by Ice Code Games is a combination between a Western and a fantasy game; a mix somewhat reminiscent of Weird West. Our protagonist, a renowned criminal named Gin Carter, overheard a legend about a Ghost Train, allegedly filled to the brim with gold. Eyes glistening with greed, he decided to rob it; alas, messing with supernatural forces did not end well for him, as he lost his very soul. Filled with desperation to recover it, he dives head-first into dangers he would have never considered facing before. Mechanically, Hard West 2 is a tactical, turn-based RPG. Out of combat, you will gain experience and recruit followers, obtain equipment for yourself and the party, and distribute skill points. In combat, you will have to pay attention to the environment, carefully position all members of your group, and manage action points. Although this game is a Windows exclusive, it is also possible to play Hard West 2 on Mac. There are several unofficial ways to accomplish this; the guide below will explain them.

Final Fantasy XIII is a third-person JRPG developed by Square Enix. It is the thirteenth game in the Final Fantasy franchise, not counting spinoffs. Somewhat confusingly, it is also the first game in the Final Fantasy XIII series. The game was popular enough to warrant two direct sequels; however, mainline FF games are never connected to each other when it comes to the story. So XIII and its two spinoffs are grouped together as its own mini-series. The story is set in the world called Gran Pulse, on a floating sphere called Cocoon. The relations between Pulse itself and Cocoon are actively hostile; the citizens of Cocoon live in fear. In the midst of it all, our protagonist Claire “Lightning” Farron embarks on a quest to save her sister, who has been dragged into this conflict. The gameplay is generally similar to other Final Fantasy games, though it did not stay exactly the same. In XIII, only one character can be commanded by the player during battle; the rest of the party are controlled by an AI. To make sure these NPCs are fighting efficiently, they can be assigned combat roles. Final Fantasy XIII originally released on Xbox 360 and PS3; since then, a Windows version has been released as well. It is still possible to play Final Fantasy XIII on Mac, but you will need to follow the guide below.

Predator: Hunting Grounds is an asymmetric PvP game developed by IllFonic and published by PlayStation PC LLC. It puts a four-person Fireteam against a single, yet powerful mercenary known as the Predator. Members of the Fireteam are given a different objective during each match; once it is accomplished, they must escape on a helicopter. Coordination is essential in this game mode, as Fireteam members stand no chance against the Predator one-on-one. The players also receive weekly objectives they can work towards during matches, through it is obviously secondary to winning the match. The Predator’s objective, meanwhile, is significantly more straightforward, and always stays the same: to eliminate all members of the Fireteam. Obviously, they won’t go down quietly and have the numbers on their side.

X4 Foundations is a space sandbox game developed by Egosoft for their X Universe game series. Unlike many games in this genre (for example, Elite Dangerous), X4 Foundations, and the series as a whole, do not focus on exploration and combat, though there’s still plenty of that. Instead, the main selling point of this game is its complex, fully simulated economy. Here, the economy works the same way it works in real life, through logistics and supply chains. First, the base resources, such as energy and ore, are produced. Cargo spaceships take these resources and deliver them to factories which turn them into intermediate products, and, somewhere down the line, usable products such as that shiny SPL M Tau Accelerator Mk2 weapon you’ve been eyeing. And if there’s none in stock? Well, maybe it’s because a few Silicon Wafer factories on the other side of the galaxy have stopped production and now there’s a shortage. Time to seize that market share; in this game, you don’t just fly around and trade and shoot. You can, eventually, lead a vast trade empire with many factories and ships under your command. Although it is only available on Windows and Linux, you can run X4 Foundations on Mac too by using third-party software. The guide below will provide the instructions.
