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.

How to play Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond on Mac
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is one of the most revolutionary first-person shooters developed to play in VR. The game brings its players back to the historically terrific and devastating events of World War II. Being one of the French resistance participants, you will be tasked to reach high-stake missions and help other nations liberate Europe from the Fascist regime. A deep single-player campaign saturated with volatile action will navigate you through historic events in various battle realms – achieve superiority on land, air, and sea while seizing Nazi bases and subverting their plans. Highly dynamic clashes accompanied by Virtual Reality will make you keep your hands always in tension to dodge flying grenades and enemy bullets. Above and Beyond also features a multiplayer where players are able to build their team and compete against other soldiers in achieving various military objectives. Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is truly immersive leaving no room for boredom and desire to quit. It is worth mentioning that the game holds quite a high plank for system requirements – at least NVIDIA GTX 1080 and 180 GB of space will be required to install the game and play it using one of the 4 VR helmets. Although the game has official support for Windows only, it can be played on macOS as well. Explore our tutorial below to learn all the possible methods to do it.

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.

Arena of Valor, also known as Strike of Kings and Honor of Kings, is a game in the MOBA genre developed by TiMi Studio Group. Now, in case you don’t know what MOBA is, it stands for “multiplayer online battle arena” – think DotA or League of Legends. Each player controls a character, known in this game as “a hero”. Characters aren’t all the same, either – players select characters from a roster, and different characters have different abilities (typically geared towards a certain battlefield role). The characters can unlock more skills during a match, and obtain items that improve their strength. This progress however is limited to a single match – improving your heroes every battle is a part of the genre. What is retained between battles is “Rank” – a score that is assigned based on how well you play. Unlocking new characters to play as is also permanent.
Arena of Valor in particular is a mobile game, and so it makes certain considerations to accommodate those playing on the go. Matches, for example, last between 10 and 20 minutes – on the shorter side for MOBA games. It has six different classes: Marksman, Mage, Assassin, Tank, Warrior, and Support. All 108 heroes that Arena of Valor has fit into one of these categories. As players can purchase items during gameplay, however, they can shift the role their character performs towards that of a different class, if they wish.
The game is available on iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch, an understandable selection of platforms for a game geared towards playing on the go. Of course, there are still people who’d want to play Arena of Valor on PC or Mac, and for these people, we’ve prepared the guide below.

DiRT Rally 2.0 is a racing game by Codemasters. The game has a very descriptive name – the “dirt” part is accurate as many of the game’s races take place off-road, sometimes in poor weather conditions as well. The “rally” part is accurate as well, as rally and rallycross are indeed the main focus of the game. DiRT Rally 2.0 is very realistic, featuring many complex models to ensure the accuracy of the gameplay. For example, weather affects how well the tires grip the road or the ground. The track deteriorates as cars drive on it, which isn’t a purely visual effect either. Cars themselves can suffer damage as well, which can make driving more difficult or even result in an automatic loss if the condition’s got too bad. With all these complexities, it is understandable that the game is considered a simulator. People who care about simulation accuracy may be further reassured by learning that this game is a part of the Colin McRae Rally and Dirt video game series. The series is named as such because Colin McRae, a World Rally Championship driver, was Codemasters’ chief advisor when it came to all these details. And while newer games, like this one or DIRT 5, did not directly benefit from his assistance, seeing as he passed away in 2007, Codemasters are obviously still applying what they’ve learned from him. The game is available only on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Nonetheless, it is still possible to play DiRT Rally 2.0 on Mac, and to learn how to do it, you’ll have to read the guide below.

Grim Dawn is an ARPG videogame about survival in an apocalyptic fantasy world. The entire humanity is close to extinction trying to fight for their future against monstrous creatures that populated the land. You, as a player, will have to dive into the role of warrior chosen from 6 different classes. Each class has its own unique capabilities augmented by hundreds of add-on skills gained throughout the gameplay. Constantly changing weather conditions and battle locations make every bit of the journey more engaging and interesting to reveal. The way your adventure progresses depends on what decisions you make through various events and dialogues encountered along. Players can upgrade their character by collecting new items, exploring treasures, and improving skills over continuous usage of them. Grim Dawn is no doubt one of the most exciting RPG games the world has seen recently. Unfortunately, the game is not available for macOS users. Even so, we have a way to circumvent this restriction and play it on macOS nonetheless – in our guide below.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, an Action-RPG developed by Ubisoft, is the 11th game in the Assassin’s Creed game series, with Assassin’s Creed Origins as its predecessor and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla as its successor. The game, just like other games in the series, is played from a third-person view, and provides the player with a choice between stealth, melee combat, and ranged combat. Indeed, there are three skill trees in this game, “assassin”, “warrior”, and “hunter” that directly correspond to those three ways of approaching the game. Of course, you can’t make an Assassin’s Creed game without a historical narrative, and Odyssey is no exception to this rule. This time, the players will experience history during the Peloponnesian War. And while the game’s retelling of the event was, of course, made inaccurate for the sake of both the story and the gameplay, Peloponnesian War is real, and took place some 2500 years ago. From the beginning to the end, Odyssey was designed to give the player more freedom and choices than previous games in the series. It is the reason why it’s set in such a distant past – to make sure that the players’ choices will not interfere with the established canon. Though, as the game does aim to be historically accurate (in broad strokes) the players will still be unable to change the outcome of significant events. Available on Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, the game lacks a Mac port. But with our guide, you will be able to play Assassin’s Creed on Mac despite this shortcoming.

Elite Dangerous, developed by Frontier Developments is a space sandbox game and the fourth installment in the Elite video game series. It can also be considered a bit of a reboot for the series, since the third game came out all the way back in 1995. The game sticks to the simple premise of all the games in the series: you are a spaceship pilot in an open-world galaxy, with almost nothing to your name sans the spaceship and a very small amount of money. Now go explore, trade, fight, earn money, and rise through the ranks of pilots to reach the coveted rank of “Elite”. And while the premise is indeed very basic – essentially it’s just a sandbox with a rank system to serve as motivation – Elite Dangerous builds upon it masterfully, leveraging modern technology to create a massively multiplayer world that is a 1:1 scale replica of the Milky Way galaxy, with hundreds of thousands of star systems crafted according to the actual scientific knowledge of these systems, and the rest – procedurally generated, also in a realistic, science-based manner. In this vast universe, the players can trade, mine asteroids for materials, engage in piracy, explore anomalies, operate space stations, and that’s not even all. The game is currently available for Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, though Frontier has recently made an announcement stating that the console versions will no longer receive content updates. A Mac version was also available at one point, but was completely discontinued since. It is still possible to play Elite Dangerous on Mac, however, with the help of the guide below.
