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.

TCG Card Shop Simulator is a management game by OPNeon Games. Just as the name suggests, it is a game where you have to manage a store which sells collectible cards. However, it is not as simple as selling groceries; there are many nuances in owning such a business. For example, simply stocking the shelves with the product is not always good enough. Your shop will perform much better if you set up a playing area. This presents another challenge: collectible card game players are notorious for their poor hygiene. You will have to forcibly clean them with a body spray. And while a good dealer never gets hooked on their own merchandise, TCG Card Shop Simulator allows you to break this rule and collect the cards yourself. But not all of your problems are specific to this industry. There are also concerns any business might have, such as fluctuating customer demands. You may be aware that TCG Card Shop Simulator is a Windows-only game, but there are unofficial ways to play it on Mac as well. This is what we will cover in the article below.

Tiny Glade is a relaxing game developed and published by Pounce Light. It allows you to build landscapes and medieval structures, like castles, ruins, and ordinary houses. This is done via a very simple and intuitive interface, to ensure that the process is never frustrating. Furthermore, it employs tons of clever tricks to maintain the sense of flow. One example the developers give is that when you draw a path into a building, Tiny Glade will automatically create a door there. By default, the game doesn’t have any goals to complete – it simply lets you create. However, you can also participate in the daily challenge, where you will be asked to build something specific. This provides players with a sense of direction, and also with a reason to come back to this neat little game. Tiny Glade is a PC-only game; it is available on Windows and Linux operating systems. MacOS, on the other hand, is not supported. But there are several ways to get around this issue. The guide below contains a list of tools which can be used to play Tiny Glade on Mac unofficially.

NBA 2K25 is a basketball simulation game developed by Electronic Arts. Now, you know how this goes: it’s one of these games that gets a new version each year, and not all of them change that much. However, NBA 2K25 is actually fairly innovative, at least when compared to other games in the genre. Each basketball star received one signature move – something they’re known for in real life – which can be used to turn the game around. Furthermore, player animations have been revamped to accommodate this change; as a result, even regular movement now feels more realistic and fluid. The game also adds Rhythm Shooting, which is an alternative way to score, and “shot timing profiles”, a way to adjust the difficulty of the game. In other aspects, NBA 2K25 is similar to the previous game, but it does feature a new story for its career mode, an updated roster of players, and mildly improved graphics. Of course, all of these changes are expected. In conclusion, the game provides enough reasons to upgrade – but how do you do it? It’s not available on Mac, after all. We can answer this question; read the guide below to learn how to play NBA 2K25 on Mac.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is an open-world driving game by KT Racing. Set on Hong Kong island, the game depicts a rivalry between two clans of street racers. The player can join either the flamboyant Streets and the classy Sharps. Either way, they will have to compete in countless cutthroat races to bring victory to their clan. The highlights of the game are customizability and attention to detail. Unusually for driving games, Solar Crown allows you to customize not only your cars, but also your own player character. That move is understandable, however, if you recall the game’s stated focus on “social multiplayer”. And when it comes to detail, well, the island was recreated in its entirety. There’s no procedural generation or copy-paste environments here. Each part of the scenery – be it an apartment building or a storefront – has real, actual history behind it. Though this is not something a racing game needs, per se, it does immensely enhance the immersion. Solar Crown does not have a macOS version, but there are several unofficial tools that will allow you to play it anyway. Learn about them in the guide below.

Final Fantasy XVI is an action-focused JRPG developed by Square Enix. Much like its predecessor, Final Fantasy XV, the game features real-time hack-n-slash combat instead of traditional turn-based mechanics. Not everyone is a fan of this system, but it does feel flashy, fun, and satisfying. Appropriately for a fantasy game, you are not restricted to physical attacks – your character is also able to perform elemental magic. Over the years, Final Fantasy as a series began to explore darker and more mature themes. Final Fantasy XVI is not an exception to this rule, as its story revolves around the subject of slavery. Still, not everything in this game is dark and gloomy. For example, it also features dozens of great side quests, some of which are fairly lighthearted. The world of the game looks gorgeous, and the soundtrack is similarly amazing. Overall, it’s easy to recommend Final Fantasy XVI to every fan of this long-running series. It originally released on PlayStation in 2023, and now, you can also play it on Windows. But what about macOS? Turns out, this is also possible. Some unofficial methods can be employed to play Final Fantasy XVI on Mac.

Age of Mythology: Retold is a real-time strategy game by World’s Edge and Forgotten Empires. It is a remake of the original Age of Mythology, featuring many quality of life features, vastly improved graphics, and even some new content. For example, Atlanteans – who were not playable in the original game – are now a fully-fledged race with their own pantheon and units. Additionally, the developers plan to release a DLC which will add the Chinese pantheon. There are also some gameplay changes, so the veterans of the original game would have to adjust a bit. The biggest such change affects divine powers: they can now be used more than once per match. It is also no longer possible to win the game by constructing wonders. Although some of you might feel skeptical of these tweaks, the developers have stated that they were done to improve competitive gameplay. Either way, Age of Mythology: Retold is worth checking out. Both new and returning players will find the game quite enjoyable. Officially, it is available only Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X/S, but you can read our guide to learn about unofficial ways to play the game on Mac.
