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.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a third-person shooter set in the grim universe of Warhammer 40K. It was developed by Saber Interactive, a video game studio based in Florida, the United States. The game puts you into the massive, armored shoes of Lieutenant Demetrian Titus, a proud member of the Space Marines. These super soldiers act as stalwart defenders of humanity against its numerous enemies. This time, you will face Tyranids – giant bugs driven only by their endless hunger. Though weak individually, Tyranid swarms contain thousands of these bugs. Indeed, Saber Interactive had to develop a special system called Swarm Engine to allow so many enemies to be present at once. The main campaign of the game is quite short, but thankfully, the game also provides PvP and co-op game modes. Thanks to a diverse arsenal of weapons, there’s also some replayability involved. After all, rending your enemies in half with a chain sword feels very different to sniping them from afar with a bolt rifle. This game can be played on current-generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as on Windows PCs. It is also possible to play Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on Mac; read the guide below to learn how.

The Casting of Frank Stone is a horror-themed adventure game by Supermassive Games. Set in a gloomy town of Cedar Hills, this game tells a story of several quirky friends exploring an abandoned steel mill during the 1980s. Additionally, the game also has segments set in the past and the future, relative to the main part of the story. These are needed to flesh out the story and highlight the consequences of your actions. These consequences are the main appeal of The Casting of Frank Stone; it is a highly non-linear game with countless choices to make. All of them alter the plot in some capacity, though some are more impactful than others. Curiously, the game also includes a feature – called The Cutting Room Floor – which shows you the entire branching plot, and the branch you are currently on. This feature does not reveal much information about unexplored branches, however, nor does it tell the player how to get there. It’s meant to inspire multiple playthroughs by hinting at alternative solutions. The Casting of Frank Stone is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows. By using certain unofficial tools, you can also play it on Mac. Read our guide to learn about your options.

Star Trucker is a driving simulator game with an obvious twist. Instead of driving boring, old-fashioned, ground-based trucks, your character will assume control of a space hauler… which look suspiciously like old-fashioned, ground-based trucks. That, of course, is part of the charm. By mixing the wondrous atmosphere of deep space with mundanity of cargo hauling, Star Trucker offers its own sci-fi fantasy; one filled not with outlandish alien encounters, but with normal, regular work. In a way, this makes it feel more immersive, allowing you to relax while still dreaming of stars. Just imagine; you are sitting in a cabin of a space truck, delivering silicon wafers to some backwater planet in the Orion Arm. The melodic hum of the radio is hard to make out, obscured by the mighty roar of your truck’s twin rocket engines, but you hardly pay attention to either. Your thoughts are occupied with the void outside of the fragile glass canopy you’re sitting in… and with the “check engine” light which just flickered on. And if you wish to experience this for yourself, you should read our guide. It explains how to play Star Trucker on Mac; such explanation is necessary, since the game is not natively available on the platform.

Core Keeper is a top-down sandbox game developed by Pugstorm and published by Fireshine Games. It starts like many other survival sandbox games: with your character stranded in the world, without a single thing to their name. The world, in this case, is a gloomy, dark place filled with endless caverns. At no point will your character see the light of the day, nor will they ascend to the surface. But – despite being entirely subterranean – the world will give you plenty of incentives to explore. The developers implemented many unique biomes, like the Sunken Sea and the Shimmering Frontier. Additionally, you will be able to discover ancient ruins, filled with both treasure and huge mechanical bosses. And when you don’t feel like venturing into the unknown, you can spend the days farming, fishing, decorating the base, and constructing automated machinery. Core Keeper can be played either alone or in a group of up to eight people. The game supports Windows, Linux, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch platforms. So as you can see, macOS is not supported officially… but there are ways to get around that. In this guide, we explain how to play Core Keeper on Mac.
