A game is certainly a great Christmas gift, but choosing one may not always be easy for macOS users. Although computers from AppMacs are generally known for not being ideal for gaming, so paradoxically the range of games for Macs has been growing significantly recently. ProWe've selected the latest and greatest pieces for you that will definitely not offend anyone under the Christmas tree.
This year, the latest racing game F1 2017 has arrived on our Macs, in which Codemasters has really left everything behind. The game is absolutely unbeatable, and you wouldn't find a better title from the world of burnt tires on PC either. Compared to the previous installment, F1 2017 has been improved in many details and a great simulation of material wear has also been added. So, not only do you race during the game, but you also have to constantly check the gearbox, engine and several other components to keep the formula always in top condition. You can read the review of last year's title here.
Pro For those who don't like fast-paced games and prefer so-called "jump-alongs", there's Yooka-Laylee from Team17. The game is a follow-up to the legendary Banjo-Kazooie series, which was a huge success twenty years ago. Yooka-Laylee is played from a third-person perspective and the player's task is to explore the environment, collect items, solve puzzles and defeat enemies. ProA typical "relaxer".

The story of the game begins on a mysterious island, where after a few days of sleep you wake up as a person without the slightest memory of your past. You start the journey practically completely naked and head to the center of the island, from which an enchanting glow emanates. Subsequently, you can obtain various raw materials and start building your base, which will protect you from players and animals. The optimization has its flaws, but otherwise the game was really successful and is ideal as a Christmas present.

Everything is a really special game and before my first taste of it I thought it was another game only suitable for "youtubers". However, after ten minutes of playing, my view completely changed. Everything is not like everyone else - it is special. Transforming into any thing may seem like complete nonsense, but the meaning of this title is much deeper than the usual solution of attribute problems. In the game, you see how everything is connected to everything else, and you can interpret the whole thing as you wish.

Another "hop" this year is the game Hollowe Knight, which, however, is much more action-packed than Yooka Laylee. Her story revolves around a kingdom that awaits the arrival of its Messiah in underground ruins. However, the heart will dance over the amazing artistic processing, which was really successful. This is another game that grabs and doesn't let go.

In 2016, all episodes of the legendary bald assassin Hitman began to be released gradually, and only in 2017 we were able to see them all together. Despite the fact that this is already a year old, it will certainly please under the Christmas tree. In the game, you are a hired killer who always has the task of killing someone and it is up to you which path you choose. You can simply shoot the victim, poison him, blow him up, just as you please.
The final version of the anticipated 4X strategy game Endless Space 2 arrived in May and it is a truly honest piece from Amplitude's workshop. StudioThe player will have the opportunity to discover the beauty of strange worlds and aliens and then conquer everything. The game is built on 4 gameplay elements: discovering other planets, expanding the empire, extracting resources and destroying opponents.

Last year's hit was certainly the game Firewatch, which offers a great drama set in a national park, and its story is very sad, and more sensitive players will "scream" at it. But the authors really tried, and every player will literally fall in love with the two main characters.
Observer has an amazing horror feel to it and the player will get through its story very quickly. Svoboda There is no such thing as a word in the game – you live under the supervision of Big Brother and his henchmen. The story of the game is set in 2084 and the future is really not rosy. The world has experienced a global super destructive conflict that has devastated most of the advanced civilization. The player may be slightly disappointed by the ending, but otherwise the game provides a really great experience.
The Obduction game arouses great curiosity in players, and the puzzles in the game just don't stop entertaining. You start the game on an unknown coast, from where you get further through the seed of a mythical tree. In the game, the weaker technical processing may freeze a little, but it is certainly not fatal. The game is an interesting exploratory adventure in which you cannot avoid the mysterious atmosphere.
Mafia III.
As the last one, I chose the well-known project of the studio Hangar 13 – Mafia III. Compared to the previous two parts, it didn't do much better, but it still offers a great gaming experience. Thanks to the music and the atmosphere that the game offers, you can get into the role of a mobster really easily. However, the joy can be hindered by the constantly repeating situations and the shallow plot point. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun playing it.
