Sea of Thieves is a pirate-themed multiplayer adventure game focused on PvP combat and exploration. Sea of Thieves 2023 Edition is the newest version of the game which includes all expansions and certain cosmetic items. It was developed by Rare Ltd and published by Xbox Game Studios. Embarking on an adventure in search of loot and glory has never been this easy! Set sail and explore the open seas; you can choose to search for treasure, hunt down dangerous creatures, and embark on a multitude of quests. However, you will be sharing the sea with other pirates just like you, for better and worse. Mainly for worse: PvP mode is always on and can’t be disabled. Though there are certainly avenues for cooperation, you can’t trust a treacherous pirate. Stay cautious at all times if you don’t want to walk down the plank. The 2023 Edition of this game offers great value for your money, but, just like the original game, it cannot be officially played on macOS. To play Sea of Thieves 2023 Edition on Mac, a third-party tool will be needed; scroll down if you want to learn more.

How to play Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on Mac
Age of Empires II is an RTS game originally made in 1999. Twenty years later, an updated version of the game was released by Forgotten Empires; this version is called Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. It brings a plethora of new features to the game, such as improved graphical fidelity, smarter AI opponents, as well as new campaigns and civilizations. Additionally, it includes all DLCs that were developed for previous versions of the game. Despite all the additions and quality-of-life improvements, the gameplay formula remains largely unchanged from the original. The player is put in charge of one civilization, guiding it through four historical ages. For thousand years, they will have to develop the nation’s economy – which is greatly simplified and features only four resources – and, more importantly, defend and wage war against their neighbors. Unlike the original Age of Empires, which could be played on both Windows and Macintosh computers, the Definitive Edition is restricted to Windows computers and Xbox consoles. But there are several unofficial ways to play Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on Mac. Learn more by reading the guide below.

Aliens: Dark Descent is a squad-based, single-player action game set in the Alien franchise. It was developed by Tindalos Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment. The game takes place in 2198, about 20 years after the events in Alien 3. The plot is focused on an area called the Tantalus Base, where a deadly Xenomorph and alien outbreak has caused trouble for a Marine Squad, who are left to figure out how to deal with the outbreak. The gameplay features that of a top-down squad-based tactical action game that makes the player a Commander, commanding the squad. A total of 5 classes, such as the Tecker, Sergeant, Recon, Medic, and Gunner, combine to make an undefeatable squad against an opponent. Overall, Aliens: Dark Descent is a tactical, terrifying, and terrific game that captures the aesthetic, atmosphere, and claustrophobic dread of the film. It is a love-letter to Cameron’s film, rather than a cynical license cash-in, and delivers an immersive, nerve-jangling tactical horror game that allows you to credibly live out your dreams of enlisting in Aliens’ colonial marines. The game was released on June 20, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S. Unfortunately, there are no native version for MacOS, but in this article we will show how to run this game on Mac easily.

Arknights is a mobile tower defense game developed by Hypergryph, a Chinese game company. The “towers” you place down in this game are actually characters; you can obtain more of them using gacha mechanics. Just like in any tower defense game, the goal is to stop enemies from reaching your base. To accomplish this goal, you are given two types of characters: ranged and melee. Ranged characters function more-or-less like traditional towers; they are placed on elevated ground where enemies cannot reach. Melee characters, meanwhile, directly block the enemies’ path; although this is powerful, they also take far more damage. As a result, melee characters should be paired with ranged support characters to be effective. The story of Arknights revolves around a mineral called originium. This wondrous substance allows humans to use magic, however, prolonged contact with the material is always fatal. The Rhodes Island organization seeks to cure those poisoned by originium, however, as many world governments despise this dangerous substance, they will face armed resistance. Quite unfortunately, Arknights is available only on iOS and Android. But several unofficial tools can be used to play Arknights on PC too, as well as on Mac. Read the guide below for instructions.

Everhood is an action-adventure game developed by Jordi Roca and Chris Nordgren. Set in a strange and nonsensical universe, this game follows an animated red doll trying to recover their stolen arm. This unusual premise is accompanied by an unusual combat system; each fight is a rhythm game section. To defeat your enemies, you must either dodge their music notes until the song ends, or go on the offensive by reflecting their attacks at them. Although this game is not very long – it takes around six hours to complete – its story will take several unexpected turns in the meantime. For one, you will manage to retrieve your arm at one point, but the game will not end there. Why? What strange plot are you going to be dragged into? That’s for you to find out. Officially, this game is available only on Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch. But you can also play Everhood on Mac – as long as you’re willing to use unofficial solutions.

ULTRAKILL is a retro FPS game developed by a team of people led by Arsi Patala, a Finnish game developer. There are shooters out there that reward a slow and tactical approach; ULTRAKILL does the opposite of that. Instead of hiding from the enemies to apply a bandage, you heal by bathing in their blood. Instead of purchasing armor-piercing ammunition, you punch bullets to make them explosive. Instead of carefully leaning from cover, you slam into your enemies at twice the speed of light. There’s no time to think, there’s no need to think, just run, shoot, shoot, shoot. The story of the game is just as straightforward and violent. Bloodthirsty machines have wiped out everything on Earth; eager for more combat, they now seek to conquer the Hell itself. Long ago, people were afraid of demons. Now, people don’t exist anymore, and demons will soon become afraid of you. Officially, this game is available only on Microsoft Windows, but there are several ways to play ULTRAKILL on Mac as well. Learn more by reading the guide below.

Jurassic World Evolution is a management game developed and published by Frontier Developments. It challenges the player to construct and maintain a dinosaur theme park – with real dinosaurs. Your theme park is more than just a glorified zoo. Though entertaining visitors is the primary purpose of the park – and the main way to generate money – it also contains multiple research facilities. You will have to recruit teams of scientists and send them to excavate dinosaur fossils all around the globe; researching these fossils will allow you to resurrect new types of dinosaurs. There are also other scientific objectives to accomplish. For example, you will be able to genetically modify these giant creatures to make them less aggressive, and establish a breeding program so you can sell excess dinosaurs to other interested parties. Jurassic World Evolution began development in 2016 and released two years later, in 2018. On release, the game was available on three platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC. Since then, the game also received a Nintendo Switch port. It is unlikely that it will ever be ported to Mac, but don’t feel disappointed.

The Smurfs – Mission Vileaf is a platforming game developed by OSome Studio. Though obviously aimed at the fans of the Smurfs show, it is a fairly decent – and even challenging – platformer in its own right. The evil wizard, Gargamel, has found yet another way to annoy the Smurfs. This time, his plan to harm the blue creatures involves spreading an malicious plant appropriately called Vileaf. It is toxic and harms other plant life around it, but even more concerningly, it has the ability to capture smurfs inside of it. Papa Smurf, the village leader, soon became aware of this threat. He tasked Handy Smurf with making The Smurfizer; this invention allows smurfs to heal poisoned plants, but also to jump higher, to dive, to glide, and to perform other moves useful in a platforming game. Four iconic characters were given a Smurfizer: Chef Smurf, Hefty Smurf, Brainy Smurf, and the Smurfette. Now they must venture into the forest, destroy all Vileaf plants, and put an end to Gargamel’s evil scheme. This game can be played on PS4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC. And although Mac is not on this list, there are several ways to play The Smurfs – Mission Vileaf on Mac. Read our article to learn more.

Trepang2 is a fast-paced shooting game developed by Trepang Studios. You play as a genetically modified soldier with no recollection of your past. After escaping a secret laboratory, you are determined to take fight back to your captors, discover your past and the secrets behind your creation. Though you will face heavy resistance, these puny humans are nothing compared to you – but they don’t know it just yet. Use your ability to slow down time to mow down hordes of enemies before they can even react, or slam them into walls with your superhuman strength. You can also turn invisible to get the jump on an unsuspected enemy. Your access to traditional weaponry, on the other hand, is fairly limited: your character cannot carry more than two guns at a time and the ammunition is always scarce too. So you will have to consider which situations merit the use of a gun and which ones would be better dealt with through melee and stealth. Although this game is officially available only on Windows PC, you can play Trepang2 on Mac as well. More information is available in the guide below.
