Being a sequel to the original The Forest videogame, Sons Of The Forest features a new storyline orchestrated by operative soldiers who got sent to find a lost billionaire and his family on an island full of cannibal humans and mutant creatures.

Although this game does not encompass gaming on Mac officially, we know a couple of ways to launch and play it on macOS regardless! Just read our guide below to find out how.

Deadlock is a MOBA game incorporating FPS mechanics. It is developed by Valve, a studio famous for their multiplayer titles – DoTA 2, Team Fortress, and Left 4 Dead. So even though the game is still in the alpha stage, there’s a lot of excitement about it. So let’s see what the game is like. So far, the game has only a single map, which is based on New York City. The map features four lanes, and – much like you’d expect from a MOBA – is populated with both aggressive and neutral creatures, shops, and defensive structures. Unlike a regular MOBA, however, it is also highly vertical. As many characters have powerful movement abilities – dashes, slides, double-jumps, and even flight in some cases – understanding this verticality will be very important. Shooting mechanics, on the other hand, are relatively simple. Guns are very accurate and have little recoil. Currently, Deadlock is not available to just anyone; you will need an invite in order to play the game. But even those who managed to get an invite will face another obstacle: compatibility. Though macOS and Linux support might be added in the future, for now, the game is Windows only. However, this problem can be addressed. Read our guide to learn how to play Deadlock on Mac.

Starfield – Shattered Space is an expansion pack for the popular Bethesda game, Starfield. The main focus of the expansion is new story content; the players will have the opportunity to explore Va’Ruun’kai, which is the home world of House Va’Ruun. The most important location on the planet is the city of Dazra. It is the capital city of Va’Ruun’kai, and serves as the quest hub for the DLC. We are not going to talk about the story in depth to avoid spoilers, but we will note that Shattered Space features eight main quests and seven side quests – worth about nine hours of gameplay in total. In addition to story content, the expansion also features new guns and enemies, and adds the ability to craft your own grenades. You might remember that Starfield originally released on Windows and Xbox platforms, and did not receive any ports afterwards. As such, Shattered Space does not run on Mac natively. However, it is still possible to play Starfield Shattered Space on Mac; you will simply need to use some unofficial tools. Read the guide below to learn about your options.

EA SPORTS FC 25 is a simulation game developed by Electronic Arts. Although it’s only the second game in the EA SPORTS FC series, it’s also a successor to the discontinued FIFA series. With that in mind, it becomes obvious that this game is about football. You can experience this sport either as a player, or as a team manager; there’s plenty of content for both of these playstyles. FC 25 specifically introduces a new game mode called “Rush”. It’s a fast-paced mode in which both teams have only five players – four regular ones and one goalkeeper. Despite its divergence from regular football rules, Rush is quite fun. Furthermore, Rush was integrated into other game modes as well – like Career – which makes gameplay more varied and interesting. But it’s not the only addition to the game. Another new feature is “FC IQ”, which improves the AI of computer-controlled players. As usual, Electronic Arts did not release FC 25 on Mac, but it’s possible to get around that. Read the guide below for an overview of the best ways to play EA SPORTS FC 25 on Mac.

Zoochosis is a horror game developed by Clapperheads. In this game, you play as a zookeeper – but it’s not as simple as that. The zoo you work in has suffered an outbreak of an unknown disease, turning some animals into twisted, cannibalistic mutants. Not all of them are affected, but you don’t always know which animals have mutated and which ones have not. So you have to be careful while performing your regular zookeeper duties. A more important task, however, is to advance your understanding of the disease, which requires that you actively study the infected animals. If you succeed – despite the danger involved – then you will be able to synthesize the vaccine and cure the animals. However, there’s also a twist; you will not have enough vaccine for all the animals. Thus, some of them will have to die. Some of you might think that it doesn’t matter – they’re just animals after all – but the choices you make will affect the ending of the game. In this guide, we explain how to play Zoochosis on Mac.

Witchfire is a first-person shooter developed by The Astronauts. Set in a dark fantasy universe, the game puts you in the shoes of a “preyer”. Preyers are undead sinners, who have been brought back to life by the Catholic Church to repent. That, of course, involves doing the worst and most dangerous work the Church has to do – fighting witches. In this universe, witches are incredibly powerful necromancers who are able to raise entire armies of monsters. Luckily for you, you don’t have to confront them immediately. Instead, you are able to go on quick expeditions into witch-infested areas, fight their minions, and return with loot – in this sense, the gameplay resembles that of an extraction shooter. But slaying monsters, picking up items, and simply running around may increase the witch’s awareness of you. Make sure to stay unnoticed before you are ready. You can prepare by unlocking unique weapons, spells, and relics, performing research, and rebuilding the cathedral that serves as your base of operations. Though this game doesn’t have a macOS version, you can play Witchfire on Mac by using certain unofficial tools. Read the article below for an overview.

The Forever Winter is an extraction shooter game developed and published by Fun Dog Studios. In a world of this game, the surface of the Earth is ravaged by centuries of automated warfare. Massive war robots fight each other – and humanity – for reasons long forgotten. Thus, the majority of humans now live underground, in ancient service tunnels. But these places do not produce enough resources to survive autonomously; they must rely on scavenged goods from the surface. This, as you might’ve guessed, is where you come in. After selecting one out of six character classes and their loadout, you will ascend to the surface, tasked with locating and retrieving vital resources. As it typical for the games in this genre, if you die in the field, all of your gear will be lost. Thus, you must be careful and know when to retreat. Though engaging in firefights can be beneficial, avoiding them is the better choice nine times out of ten. Unfortunately for you, staying out of harm’s way is not always an option. Currently, this game is a Windows exclusive, but there are unofficial ways to play The Forever Winter on Mac. We explain how to do it in the guide below.

Frostpunk 2 is a story-focused city builder game developed by 11 bit studios. But despite being a sequel to Frostpunk, this game is very different from the first. Although resource management remains vital, the focus is now on politics – passing laws and managing various factions. But this should come as no surprise to those who follow the story. After all, it’s been thirty years since the end of the first game. So it only makes sense that the people of New London managed to establish themselves better during this time; that their circumstances are now slightly less desperate. As a result, Frostpunk 2 feels bigger and grander than its predecessor. You are no longer simply struggling to survive in this frozen landscape; you are building an empire. But it’s not a trivial game, either. There are still questionable decisions that you can make – or will be pressed to make. It’s still very much possible to run out of resources and lose. Overall, the game retains the spirit of its predecessor while making it clear that the world has moved forward. Although Frostpunk 2 is available on macOS, only Apple Silicon Macs are supported. If you want to play Frostpunk 2 on Intel Mac, read the guide below.
