Aliens: Fireteam Elite is an third-person shooting game developed and published by Cold Iron Studios. Although this game is a part of the Alien franchise, it focuses on action instead of horror. There are still horror elements present, but constant hordes of enemies don’t leave much room for suspense. That’s not to say Fireteam Elite is a bad game; far from it. It is highly engaging and intense, has great music, and features an interesting story campaign. It is intended to be played cooperatively, in teams of three, and, as such, can be really fun to play with friends. Those that prefer a singleplayer experience can choose to play with two AI companions instead. The game features seven different classes designed to complement one another. The customization, however, doesn’t end there. Each class has many different weapons and perks available for selection. Not all of them are available at the start; many need to be unlocked through gameplay. This provides a sense of progression between games. Aliens: Fireteam Elite is available on PS4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S, and also on Microsoft Windows. Officially, OS X is not supported, but it’s still possible to play Aliens: Fireteam Elite on Mac.

Air Missions: HIND is a flight simulator game developed by 3Division. Make no mistake, though, this game will not offer you a slow, relaxing experience of flying passenger aircraft. This is a combat sim, packed with action and missions to complete. This game is also much narrower in scope, than, say, Microsoft Flight Simulator or DCS World. In Air Missions: HIND, you will be piloting one specific aircraft: Mi-24 Hind assault helicopter (three other helicopters can be unlocked by purchasing the deluxe edition of the game). But some might argue that it’s better to be great at one thing than to be OK at many. Focusing entirely on Soviet helicopters means that the game simulates them really well. You can choose to equip your helicopter with a range of different weapons, all of which exist in real life and have been recreated in faithful manner. These include UPK-23 gun pods, FAB bombs, MCLOS and SACLOS missiles, and several rockets. Don’t feel too intimidated, though. The game offers a choice between a realistic and a simplified control scheme to allow casual players to have fun too. Air Missions: HIND released on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Windows PC. But did you know that you can play Air Missions: HIND on Mac as well? It’s true; read the guide below to learn how.

The Redress of Mira is a linear adventure game developed by Tonguç Bodur. The main focus of the game is to provide an atmospheric and immersive experience. That said, the gameplay was not neglected either: the game includes puzzle, platforming, and combat sections. The story of the game is focused on Mira, an elf whose clan has been devastated in a recent attack. It is told through books scattered around the world. Some of these books tell the story from Mira’s own perspective, while others are focused on the mercenary who carried out the attack, and the ruthless baron who has ordered it. By not telling the story directly to the players, The Redress of Mira encourages them to wander around and admire the scenery, and there’s certainly plenty to admire. The environments in this game are absolutely gorgeous. The mountainous landscapes are already quite scenic on its own, but it is the occasional man-made structure that truly makes them shine. These medieval-style mills, villages, and castles certainly enhance the “traditional fantasy” experience this game was going for. The Redress of Mira was released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows. But you can play The Redress of Mira on Mac as well. Read the guide below to learn about your options.

Conan Exiles is a survival open-world game made by Funcom. Though marketed as a multiplayer game, Conan Exiles can also be played in singleplayer, or in co-op mode with a small group of friends. The first challenge to conquer in this game is simply staying alive. This is no trivial task; you need to eat and to drink, to dress appropriately for the temperature, and to have shelter from the elements. Once you’re comfortable in your survival ability, you will be able to explore the world and see what it has to offer. In the open world of Conan Exiles, there are many different biomes. Though a part of this land is covered in lush forests, many areas are much less hospitable. The frozen mountains located in the north, the scorching-hot dunes in the south, and the swamp in the east would be deadly for an unprepared adventurer, as would many other places. Once you’ve had your share of adventuring, return to your base of operations. With resources you’ve found on your journeys, you will be able to expand it. Eventually, you could build an entire castle, or even a city. Conan Exiles is available on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows. It is also possible to play Conan Exiles on Mac. How? Read our guide to find out.
