It doesn't matter which platform you're playing on Portal 2 is hands-down one of the greatest video games of all time and definitely one of the best Mac games ever. Keep in mind that it is an older game, but if you grew up with it like I did, this will be a nostalgia-filled journey. If you love an action-packed romp around the cosmos and, of course, Star Wars, then definitely download this right now. You get to customize your character, and they change as the game goes on, depending on the choices you make and your style of play (kinda like the Fable series). The cool part is you actually get to ultimately choose which side you want to be on, opting to conquer or save your fellow Jedi, using Force powers and sweet lightsaber moves all the way through. So, of course, you're the last hope of the Jedi, and you have to lead your brothers and sisters in arms in a last stand of sorts against the ultimate evil. It's 4,000 years before the Galactic Empire, and the Sith are just wiping out Jedi left, right, and central. This game may be a little old (like first-generation Xbox old), but it's a classic, and the fact that it's on the Mac is just fantastic. It's like a book you just can't put down, which is why it's one of the best Mac games. What starts as a simple game of watching for forest fires becomes a strange, twisty-turny, mystery-filled rabbit hole with new discoveries at every turn.

If you're looking for more than just a game - an experience - then Firewatch should be at the top of your to-play list. Cissy Jones, from the first season of The Walking Dead, plays Delilah, and Henry is portrayed by Rich Sommer of Mad Men fame. This is a gorgeous game with a beautifully crafted open world, true-to-life characters, and a story that changes depending on the choices you make throughout your story. However, something draws you out of your tower and into the woods, where you must explore the unknown wild, making choices that could make or break your relationship with Delilah.

Set in 1989, you watch for smoke during a sweltering, dry summer, aided via radio by your supervisor, Delilah. You play as Henry, a man who decided to give the simpler life a try by joining a fire lookout team. Firewatch, at its core, is a mystery game set in the Wyoming wilderness.
