If you are a fan of classic RPG games with an isometric projection, rules straight from Dungeon and Dragons books, tons of stats, dice throws, interesting plot, powerful magic, demanding gameplay, and epic side quests then this game is a perfect choice for you.

The plot takes you a few years after the events you might know from the first game. It turned out that Eothas came back to life. He evolved into a gigantic statue located (not without a reason) under your fortress in Caed Nua. Your castle was destroyed and you almost died. Luckily for you, other Gods decided to save you. Now you have to search for answers to questions which literally might destroy the balance of the universe.

Quite an old product but unfortunately for both you and us, Half-Life 3 was not yet created (it’s coming any day now). This is why we still need to stay with Half-Life 2. Do not worry though. It is still a great and beautiful game. Once again you are going to take a role of Gordon Freeman.

This time you wake up on a train, travelling to the City 17. Soon you learn that the World is now under control of the Combine (a powerful inter-dimensional invading force). The Combine were able to defeat the entire human army in mere seven hours.

However, Gordon Freeman is not a type of person who is going to sit idly and watch people being oppressed and harassed by alien forces. Soon Gordon joins the Resistance lead by his friend from the Black Mesa Laboratory, doctor Eli Vance. Together you are going to do everything you can to stop Combine forces and Wallace Breen (the human representative of the Combine and the administrator of City 17).

Stardew Valley

If you are an older player, especially the one who had a contact with different consoles then you probably played or at least heard about the Harvest Moon series. It is a relatively simple game where you take control over a young boy who just inherited a farm from his grandpa.

Now you need to take care of a slightly desolate plot of land. A simple premise turns out to be a really complex gameplay where you take care of your farm, grow plants, keep various animals on your ranch, participate in various events located in a nearby town, build up a relationship with citizens or even get into marriage and create a family.

The game series also has a very strong RPG vibe. Hence, there are many side quests, stats of your characters, a little bit of magic and a lot of places to explore. No wonder that the game series consists of more than 20 titles for such consoles like: Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Play Station, Play Station 2, Game Cube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Playstation Portable, and Nintendo Wii.

Unfortunately, PC gamers and Mac gamers could not enjoy the epic Harvest Moon series. Stardew Valley is not only one of the best games for Mac but it is also something you can call a Harvest Moon game for PC and Mac players. Both games have almost identical premise. Once again you are a teenager who inherited an old farm from his or her grandfather. In comparison to Harvest Moon though, Stardew Valley provides you with much more option of customization.

Immediately you can choose between two types of gender, twenty-four different skin tones, thirty-two hairstyles, two animals, twenty various accessories, and over a hundred of shirts. You can also change your appearance in the regard of hair, eyes, and pants color. Furthermore, there are five different maps for you to choose, each one of them favoring a different game style. There is for example a map where mining is going to be the most important thing for you to earn money, while there is also a location, where fishing is far more crucial. Now you can start your adventure. First, you need to take care of the destroyed farm.

There is a lot of work to do before the farm is even going to start running smoothly. Then you can start visiting the town. There are many people for you to meet and events in which you can participate. Living on farm can be full of attractions. However, if you are bored with a simple farming, then Stardew Valley might provide you with various monsters. It seems that the valley is not as safe and calm as it seems. With such big amount of content you will be provided with more than twenty hours of the gameplay.

Due to the fact that this game is going to show you horrors of war from the perspective of simple citizens. There are no war heroes in this game. Only simple people caught in the middle of a conflict.

At the beginning of the game you can pick from one of many designed scenarios (or start with a random). Then you are provided with a few characters, each with a different back-story, habits etc. they can even suffer from various addictions. All of you are located in a heavily damaged building and your task is to simply, survive. First you need to take care of the building itself. Thanks to the crafting system you will be able to build a few beds, kitchen, a heater and so long and so forth.

When the day is finished, then you can send your survivors at night to scavenge for supplies. However, this is not the most important part of the game. It is a morality of your actions and to some extend a war itself. Many times you are going to be forced to make a choice. Should you help orphaned kids or take care of your own party? Should you steal from a sick old man in order to save yourself?

Your characters are going to react to your decisions and even during the ending, you will be provided with a story which shows clearly, that none of them left the conflict without scars.

The game can be bough below though we also recommend to buy the DLC known as The Little Ones. Thanks to the DLC you will be provided with children characters. They are going to add even more depth to the gameplay.

Papers, Please

Papers, Please is one of the weirdest logic games ever created. It is actually something more than a simple game, it is a satire of totalitarianism.

Image credit: Lucas Pope

The story is pretty simple, the authocratic state of Arstotzka just finished a war with a neighbor country known as Kolechia. Thanks to this, Arstotzka was able to claim half of the Gretzin, which was a border town between both states. You are hired as the immigration inspector. A last line of defense.

You are a God who can decide if someone should be allowed to visit Arstotzka or not. Your task is not as easy as it might seems. Due to the fact, that conflict practically divided city in two, many families were separated. There are many sad stories which you are going to hear from people who are going to try to get across the border. At the same time, you need to take into consideration, that they might be simply lying to you. After all, because of the turmoil, Gretzin became the paradise for drug dealers, smugglers and all types of the worst scum. You are going to be forced to make many, often very hard decisions.

At the same time you also have to take care of your family. Remember about that because a potential mess up might result with you, being thrown out from work. If Papers, Please and situation between Arstotzka and Kolechia reminds you of North Korea and South Korea, then you should not be surprised.

The game itself is supposed to mirror the situation in both Koreas. After the war, many families were separated from each other.
