Lara Croft Go Image by Andrew HaywardIDG If you havent already played the excellent Lara Croft Go (9.99; Steam ) on iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, then you should definitely check it out on Mac.

Instead, consider this a curated starting point: See what catches your eye here, and then go exploring on Steam, the Mac App Store, and other gaming stores.

Youll find a lot of awesome titles that deliver incredible bang for your buck.

Days Attempting to get around the world in a steampunk version of 1872 sounds like a tough taskone that could power a lively, wild action game, naturally.

Days (9.99; Steam ) is lively and wild, but its no action game: Its primarily a text adventure in which your various decisions help shape both the outcome and the journey itself.

But theres more to it than just completing the trip on time, as the conversations along the way entertain and help build out your character all the while.

Hailing from one of the same minds behind the gruesome but brilliant Super Meat Boy, The Binding of Isaac is an arcade-style shooter but you play as a naked child who is fighting monsters in his basement as he evades his violent, deranged mother.

Between that unique premise and the half-gross, half-gory aesthetic, The Binding of Isaac has a distinctive hookbut its also a really fun dungeon-crawling shooter.

Youll shoot your own tears at the creepy creatures within and seek out upgrades as you try to survive the underground labyrinth, and the challenge continually prods you to improve.

Braid Indie darling Braid (9.99; Mac App Store ) looks properly old-school, but has its own unique twist on the classic platform-action formula.

Undertale Fan Games Plus The Dreamy

It has a deeply philosophical edge, and unravels a heartbreaking story bit by bitplus the dreamy, hand-painted aesthetic really sells the surreal tone of the experience.

Thats not to say that its a total breeze: Some of the puzzles and hidden secrets are cleverly designed to stump and frustrate.

Its a crucial mechanic that gives the game a lot of extra depthin more ways than one.

FTL: Faster Than Light In space, nobody can hear you screambut your agonized yelps might wake family, roommates, or neighbors once you start digging into the brutal challenge of FTL: Faster Than Light (9.99; Steam ).

Given a spaceship to command and a hazard-filled galaxy to explore, youll set off into the tense, randomly-generated areas.

Whether its encountering enemies, making decisions to keep your ship afloat, or trying to outrun some pursuing threat, this deep, retro-flavored quest can be utterly enthralling.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Although followed up by a trio of larger, more ambitious games, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (9.99; Steam, Mac App Store ) remains one of the most iconic entries in the open-world action series, setting a crime tale set against the now-hilarious excess of the 1980s.

As Tommy Vercetti, a Mafia hitman just out of jail, youll reemerge into a Miami-inspired city to cause a little mayhem.

And Vice City certainly looks and sounds the part: The pastel colors, amazing era-appropriate soundtrack, and constant skewering of 80s culture makes for a hilarious, absorbing experience.

Half-Life 2 First-person shooters become bigger and brasher with each passing year, yet 2004s Half-Life 2 (9.99; Steam ) remains a serious benchmark for the entire genre.

Valves masterwork presents a tense single-player campaign through an alien-overtaken Earth, with the Gravity Gun opening up new gameplay possibilities beyond simply running and gunning.

If you dig Half-Life 2, dont miss the Episode One and Episode Two standalone expansions for 8 eachand heck, the iconic 1998 original is 10, too.

Her Story Image by Andrew HaywardIDG One of the most acclaimed indie games of recent years, Her Story (5.99; Steam or GOG ) is a totally unique live-action adventure game that tasks you with reconstructing a story based on recordings of police interviews.

Undertale Fan Games Archive Of Footage

However, the interviews are all split into tiny clips, and youre given no direction as you sort through this massive archive of footage.

Its not real police footage, of course, but Her performance is compelling and the eventual narrative twists justify all of the digging that ultimately gets you there.
