Techtonica is a factory-building game with an underground theme. Explore the beautiful caves of an alien world, learn how to navigate sprawling tunnels, and slowly claim this world as your own with the help of industrial machinery. The beginning will be slow – it always is in automation games – as you have no choice but to gather resources by hand. The next logical step is to construct the machines to mine on their own; taking it will introduce you to the wonderful rabbit hole that is automation. How do I deal with this industrial byproduct? What if I make this assembler craft more assemblers? What power production design will be the most scalable? It is easy to get lost in this never-ending cycle of making your factory more efficient; however, in this game, your character has an actual motivation beyond automation for the sake of automation. Unlike many games in the genre, Techtonica features an actual storyline. Likewise, exploration is not just a quest for more resources; there are mysteries to uncover as well. Although the game doesn’t have an official Mac port, you can still play Techtonica on Mac by following the guide below.

Viewfinder is a first-person puzzle game with platforming elements. It was developed by Sad Owl Studios and published by Thunderful Publishing. Though the use of non-Euclidean geometry in puzzles is nothing new, Viewfinders brings it to a whole new level. It allows you to take and place down pictures, which become three-dimensional and alter the environment around you. This unique and fun mechanic also happens to be very flexible. As a result, you will be able to solve each puzzle in many different ways instead of just one. The puzzles themselves are well thought-out, too; they never feel repetitive, so the game remains engaging and fun for the whole playthrough. This mind-bending puzzle game is officially available only on PlayStation 5 and Windows PC. But it is nonetheless possible to play Viewfinder on Mac. Since it lacks an official port, you will have to use a third-party program to bridge the gap of incompatibility. Read the guide below for the list of available methods.

Way of the Hunter is a hunting simulator developed by Nine Rocks Games, a gamedev company in Slovakia. It aims to accurately recreate the experience: you will need to choose the right firearm, explore the terrain, find and interpret animal tracks, and much more. Each species of animal has their own AI, modelled after their real-life counterparts; as a result, hunting each is a unique challenge. In time, they may even learn to recognize hunters like you as a threat, making it even harder to kill them. Still, you have plenty of tools in your arsenal to deal with this task. Firearms are the most obvious example, but there’s also other gear, such as binoculars, scopes, and even vehicles to consider. However, you will not be given access to all these tools immediately; most need to be purchased with in-game currency, which you can earn by selling meat and animal trophies. This game released on Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. But there’s also several ways to play Way of the Hunter on Mac. The guide below will explain more.

Xenonauts 2 is a tactical roleplaying game developed by Goldhawk Interactive. Set in the alternative universe where the Cold War never ended, while UFO sightings are becoming more common by the day. Eventually, the aliens get tired of abducting cows and launch their invasion force; you will have to coordinate the forces of humanity to resist. To do so, you must construct modular bases, perform research, intercept alien UFOs, and, of course, engage the extraterrestrial menace in combat. Many of you will notice that this game sounds awfully similar to XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2. But in truth, Xenonauts 2 seeks to imitate the original X-COM games from the nineties. It is more complex than modern XCOM games – you will have to manage many small details like your soldiers’ ammunition – but those dedicated enough to understand the mechanics will find them fun and very satisfying. Currently, this game is available only on Microsoft Windows (though this may change once it leaves Early Access). But for now, a third-party tool is needed to play Xenonauts 2 on Mac.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a massive adventure game developed by TT Games. It adapts all movies in the main Star Wars series (nine in total). To faithfully recreate them, a wealth of content was added; for example, there are 23 planets for you to explore – full of structures, characters, and sidequests. Notably, the world of the game is fully open, and will not force you to conform to the rigid structure of the movies. Once a planet is unlocked, you can travel there at any moment. Similarly, the game allows you to play as any character you want – there’s hundreds to select from – even when it doesn’t exactly make sense. Overall, this is easily the best entry in the LEGO Star Wars series. Unfortunately, even though it released on many platforms (including Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch) this game is not available on Mac. Still, this hurdle can be overcome with third-party programs. So yes, it is possible to play LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga on Mac – as long as you use one of these.

Aliens: Dark Descent is a squad-based, single-player action game set in the Alien franchise. It was developed by Tindalos Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment. The game takes place in 2198, about 20 years after the events in Alien 3. The plot is focused on an area called the Tantalus Base, where a deadly Xenomorph and alien outbreak has caused trouble for a Marine Squad, who are left to figure out how to deal with the outbreak. The gameplay features that of a top-down squad-based tactical action game that makes the player a Commander, commanding the squad. A total of 5 classes, such as the Tecker, Sergeant, Recon, Medic, and Gunner, combine to make an undefeatable squad against an opponent. Overall, Aliens: Dark Descent is a tactical, terrifying, and terrific game that captures the aesthetic, atmosphere, and claustrophobic dread of the film. It is a love-letter to Cameron’s film, rather than a cynical license cash-in, and delivers an immersive, nerve-jangling tactical horror game that allows you to credibly live out your dreams of enlisting in Aliens’ colonial marines. The game was released on June 20, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S. Unfortunately, there are no native version for MacOS, but in this article we will show how to run this game on Mac easily.
