Dota 2 Here we have one of the more generous free-to-play online games, as DotA 2 gives you everything you need to be competitive upfront and throughout. Developed by Valve, this game is the offspring of Defense of the Ancients, a community-created mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion pack. What does that mean? Well, it means you’re getting a MOBA with the pedigree and experience behind it to provide hundreds of hours of intense competition against an active community of players. At its core, DotA is a game about 5 on 5 combat, placing teams on separate bases on a map that must be defended. Each player controls a “hero,” and teams must work together to utilize the strengths of their heroes to destroy a structure—called an “ancient”—within the opposing team’s base. All heroes are free, as is everything you need to play and win the game; in-app purchases won’t make it easier to take out your opponents, they’ll just get cosmetic items for your heroes and the world they inhabit. And of particular interest to Mac gamers, Metal support via MoltenVK is coming soon. System requirements: S 10.9, Dual-core Intel Processor, 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA 320M, Radeon HD 2400, Intel HD 3000 or better, 15 GB hard drive space. https://store.steampowered.com/app/570/Dota_2/
