If you’ve ever heard someone make the claim that “there aren’t any games on Mac,” it’s probably because they haven’t seen how many great video games have made their way onto the platform in recent times. With at least 8 to 10% of the world’s population using one of Apple’s computers, it shouldn’t be a surprise that so many popular, retro, and critically acclaimed PC and console video games have made their way to the Mac. While every gaming genre you could hope for is well represented on the operating system, some may need a little help to find the best Mac games available. Check out our top picks.
