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.
