February was a blazing hot month for new Mac game releases, as Firewatch, Superhot, and The Flame in the Flood suggest in their rather appropriate titles—but it’s about more than just fiery branding. Despite the shortened month, February delivered an awesome array of titles beyond those mentioned above.

XCOM 2 leads our list this month, offering up another massive strategy gem to savor, while the mysterious Firewatch and innovative Superhot are both well worth a look. And if you love Telltale’s episodic adventures, there’s a brand new Walking Dead game series to start digging into. You’re sure to find something to enjoy in this bunch, but if you need more recent options, be sure to scope out our picks from January.
