Assetto Corsa is a racing game developed and published by Kunos Simulazioni. When translated from Italian, this means “Kunos Simulations” – which should give you a hint about the game’s overall direction. Indeed, Assetto Corsa is very much a simulation game at heart, possessing an incredibly sophisticated physics engine that accounts for things most game developers wouldn’t even think about. For example, heat cycles, flat spots on tires, and moving aerodynamic parts are all simulated. The game makes quite an effort to look well, too – a lot of work has been put into making various surfaces look realistic. Racing tracks present in the game are held to the same high, realistic standard – they are all meticulously-crafted recreations based on their real-world counterparts. You may have heard stories about game developers travelling to locations they want to put in their game to ensure accuracy – but the developers of Assetto Corsa went a step further. Using a laser-based technology, they have scanned real-world tracks. The in-game tracks are based off of these scans, allowing for an unprecedented level of accuracy. Overall a great racing simulation game, Assetto Corsa is not without its flaws, either. It is only available on Windows, Xbox One, and PS4 – with no Mac version. Still, it is possible to sidestep this issue and play Assetto Corsa on Mac anyway – read the guide below for instructions.

Final Fantasy XI is a MMORPG developed by Square Enix. It is the first MMORPG in the series, though certainly not the last – FFXIV, released in 2010, continues to be popular to this day. Unfortunately, FFXI does not – Square Enix keeps the game on life support, and has completely abandoned PS2 and Xbox 360 versions altogether. Still, it is a notable part of the Final Fantasy franchise, and you should check it out while you still can. Much like most MMOs, Final Fantasy XI gives the players missions and quests to complete. Although these words may seem interchangeable, the game makes a distinction – the former are storyline quests, while the latter are sidequests. Completing sidequests grants your character “fame points”, which allow you to complete even more sidequests. The character classes in this game are called Jobs – because that’s how Final Fantasy does it. The player can only have one Job active at a time, but can change it at any moment. They also can choose a “Support Job”, which will grant them access to that Job’s abilities, but in a limited fashion. The players can also engage in minigames, the most popular of which is Chocobo breeding. Although it is available on Windows only, you can also play Final Fantasy XI on Mac. To learn how to do this, read the guide below.

Weird West is a role-playing game that uses – obviously – Wild West aesthetic. But it is not your typical Western game, far from it. In a unique spin on the genre, Weird West combines its Western setting with a dark fantasy setting, of all things. You should expect your usual revolver-slinging cowboys, gold miners, and outlaws, sure; but the world they live in is also inhabited by strange, supernatural creatures most of whom are dangerous and deadly. The developers state that their game was inspired by Fallout 1 and 2, and have even involved Chris Avellone – a video game designer who worked on these two games – in the development process. The gameplay is split into chapters; during each, you control a different protagonist. You will, in total, guide five different bounty hunters on their journeys, interacting with the world and making irreversible decisions. Once you’ve completed a character’s story and have moved on to the next chapter, you will be able to visit them to see what impact your choices made on their lives. The game is only available on Windows, PS4, and Xbox One. However, it is also possible to play Weird West on Mac using third-party software. This guide will walk you through the process.

MultiVersus is a fighting game developed by Player First Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

To be more specific, characters from DC Universe, Adventure Time, Rick and Morty, Scooby-Doo, Steven Universe, as well as several other franchises are present.The game features several different game modes. Obviously, there’s your typical 1v1 game mode present in pretty much all fighting games. Then, there’s also 2v2 mode, where two characters cooperate to defeat the other team. Finally, there’s Free For All mode, which pits four characters against each other. Training mode is also included, though it cannot be considered a full game mode for obvious reasons. The maps included in the game also borrow from the aforementioned Warners franchises – for example, MultiVersus allows its players to have a fight in Batman’s Batcave or Jake and Finn’s Treefort. MultiVersus is a free-to-play game, though it has several paid versions that include exclusive cosmetics. It is available on PS4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows – with crossplay support.
