Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a 2D platformer game developed by Frozenbyte. It is the fourth and the newest game in the Trine series, and as such closely resembles the previous games – it is a platformer in a medieval fantasy setting with beautiful visuals and physics-based gameplay. Though it is worth noting that The Nightmare Prince is more similar to the first two games than the unpopular third installment.
There are three characters available to play as: Amadeus the wizard, Zoya the thief, and Pontius the knight. The player can switch between these three characters at will, as each of them has unique abilities that need to be used in conjunction with each other. To give an example, Amadeus can create objects such as boxes, and use telekinesis to move them around, while Zoya has ropes that she can use to fix objects in place or create rope bridges. Together, these abilities can solve most puzzles in the game. Pontius, on the other hand, is mainly combat-focused. Trine 4 also introduces an entirely new feature, optional character upgrades. While in the past characters would simply get new abilities by progressing through the game, now the player can unlock certain abilities by spending tokens (while some are still locked behind progression). Unlike the previous games, however, Trine 4 does not have a Mac port. With this guide, however, you will be able to play Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince on Mac even though the developers do not support this option.

Surviving the Aftermath is a post-apocalyptic city builder developed by Iceflake Studios and published by Paradox Interactive. The game strongly resembles Surviving Mars, another city-builder published by Paradox. Just from looking at the names, it is obvious that Paradox wanted to do another take on the same gameplay formula. Not that it’s a bad thing – Surviving Mars is a great game after all.
In Surviving the Aftermath, you’ll have to manage a colony in a randomly-generated world, acquiring and processing all kinds of resources to improve the colony and the quality of life of its inhabitants. Throughout the game, certain events will occur, and you will have to choose how to address the situation. In this harsh and gritty world, however, these choices are not always easy to make. You will have to deal with changing seasons, natural disasters, bandits, aggressive animals, and other issues. Should you find yourself with enough breathing room to pursue long-term goals, you could also establish outposts and even go on expeditions to understand why the apocalypse happened in the first place. Surviving the Aftermath is only available on Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Unlike Surviving Mars, it is not available on MacOS. However, with the help of this guide, you will be able to play Surviving the Aftermath on Mac even though it is not officially available.

Sniper Elite 5 is a stealth third-person shooter. It was developed by Rebellion Developments, a prolific game studio responsible for many great games, such as Aliens vs Predator and Zombie Army 4: Dead War.
Sniper Elite 5 plays similarly to its predecessors, and features the same setting and protagonist. They rather define the series, after all. For those not familiar with it, Sniper Elite games are set during World War II, and have Karl Fairburne as the protagonist. Karl is an American operative in disguise, infiltrating German forces to accomplish various objectives.
Rather obviously, the focus of the game is stealth combat – sniping your enemies from afar. To further enhance this process, the game features a robust weapon customization system.
There are several different game modes available for Sniper Elite 5. The first and the most important one, of course, is the singleplayer campaign. Then, there are cooperative mode and invasion mode. Both of them are derived from the singleplayer mode. In co-op two players work together to clear the campaign, while in invasion mode a third player takes the role of an enemy. There’s also a survival mode, in which waves of enemies are thrown at four players until they finally die.
Sniper Elite 5 is available on PS 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S, as well as on Windows. Apple computers are not officially supported, but with the help of this guide you will be able to play Sniper Elite 5 on Mac as well.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a video game in the action-adventure genre, developed by Ember Lab. The players will play as a magical girl named Kena, who has an equally magical job – she’s a spirit guide. Her main responsibility is helping souls of dead people move on to the afterlife – a theme rather central to the game. This time, however, Kena’s journey is wrought with peril – dangerous monsters, summoned by a particularly strong and vengeful spirit, now roam the forest, and the land has become corrupted. To deal with this issue, Kena has several options. She can perform attacks with her staff, which, curiously enough, can act as a bow for energy arrows. The same spirit energy can also be used defensively – Kena’s Pulse ability shields herself while stunning the enemies. Finally, Spirit Bombs can be thrown at the monsters to devastating effect. The tools that Kena uses to dispose of the enemies are also used for platforming and puzzle-solving. Kena’s staff is not only a bow, it can also act as a grappling hook, which is essential to traversing the corrupted landscape. Over the course of the game, Kena will gain spirit companions, small creatures which are called “the Rot”. Although they can’t attack enemies, they can distract them, as well as perform a variety of non-combat tasks. Unfortunately, the game is only available on PS4, PS5, and Microsoft Windows. Despite this, you can play Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Mac as well. All you need to do is follow the guide below.

Dauntless is an Action-RPG developed by Phoenix Labs. Although you’ve probably never heard of them – Dauntless is their first release – Phoenix Labs is a remarkable team, as their developers have worked, in the past, for such big-name studios as Riot Games, Bioware, and Blizzard Entertainment. Set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, Dauntless paints a grim picture: the world itself has been torn apart, killing almost all humans in the process. Those few that remain are being mercilessly hunted down by creatures called Behemoths. But not all is hopeless. Slayers, highly capable and well-equipped individuals, have arisen to combat Behemoths and protect the remains of humanity. The player character will take the role of one such Slayer.
Dauntless was designed to be a cooperative experience, and supports up to six players taking on the same challenge. However, it can be played solo as well. Taking inspiration from games such as Monster Hunter and Dark Souls, Dauntless is not an easy game, requiring skill and effort to progress. Dauntless also features many different activities and frequent updates to keep the game feeling fresh. There is a beautiful world to explore, bosses to fight, and, once in a while, a seasonal event occurs. Dauntless is available on MS Windows, Xbox One, PS 4, and Nintendo Switch. You can play Dauntless on Mac as well, even though it is not supported. All you have to do is follow the guide below.

Sifu is a game in the beat ’em up genre developed by Sloclap. The game’s title, “sifu”, is a Chinese word that can be translated as “skillful person”, “teacher”, or “master”. That should give a hint about the game’s setting – yes, it is all about martial arts. Set in modern China, the game tells a story about a son of a martial arts school’s sifu. Said sifu has been killed, and now it’s up to his son to avenge him. The next eight years of his life are spent rigorously training, and then, the game begins. The game is played from a 3rd person view, and allows the player to perform a range of different moves. Obviously, there are attacks, but there’s also blocking, evading, and parrying. The attacks can also be chained to perform a “combo attack”. Combo attacks change depending on what moves were chained, and, owing to this, the game boasts more than 150 different attacks. There are many different combinations possible, after all. Sifu received much praise from the critics – evidently, the game’s intense combat, sense of aesthetics, and the narrative have made an impression. So it only makes sense that people want to play it themselves, too. But there’s a slight problem with that. The game is only available on Windows, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, so a Mac owner would not be able to play the game… without our guide that is. Read the article below to learn how to play Sifu on Mac despite the lack of a port.

Created by Gunfire Games, Darksiders III is an Action-RPG taking place on a post-apocalyptic Earth. The game is mainly focused on combat and exploration, with the role-playing elements being pretty much limited to a leveling system. Unlike many post-apocalyptic games, Darksiders III (and the Darksiders series as a whole) is a fantasy-based one. The world was not left barren and desolate due to a nuclear blast, the humanity was not purged by an ancient virus. Rather, it was a war between Heaven and Hell that reduced Earth to ruins. The player characters are, consistently, Horsemen of the Apocalypse – this time, the player will take the role of Fury, a whip-wielding mage on her quest to purge Earth from Seven Deadly Sins. To accomplish this, Fury, and thus the player, will have to traverse an expansive open world, engage in parkour, and, of course, defeat countless creatures using the game’s hack-n-slash combat system. The game was originally released in 2018 on Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. In 2021, it has also received a port to the Nintendo Switch. This makes it rather obvious that the game is unlikely to ever receive a Mac port – it would’ve been already done if the developers were interested. Despite this, you can play Darksiders III on Mac, as there are several unofficial solutions. Read the guide below to learn about these.
