Steam is a software and gaming platform. Thousands of games from Action to Indie and everything in-between are available to purchase, download, and play Though its to be applauded for trying a little to look like a Mac app (though not a lot: it's a square cornered window that resizes from any edge), it. When Apple announced it promised a new era in Mac gaming performance. Unfortunately, almost two years passed before we saw the payoff, and aside from hating to wait, it also led to delayed top-tier games while companies had to wait until the API was mature enough to implement. In the spring of 2017, the wait was finally over and an avalanche of both AAA and excellent independent MacOS Metal games quickly followed. Filter by name MacOS Metal games Filter by genre Filter by demand level Rise of the Tomb Raider Rise of the Tomb RaiderThe second installation in the rebooted Tomb Raider series, Rise of the Tomb Raider (RotTR) was inevitable after the success of the first game. And while the familiar elements are still there, there’s also plenty that’s new. Two of the biggest are some RPG elements and crafting being added in addition to the exploration and fighting we’re familiar with. You start out in Siberia and this time you’re on a quest to find a hidden city which may contain the secret to immortality. Using the familiar 3rd person perspective, you’ll explore, fight (including your bow of course) and get a chance to raid some tombs. Also featuring additional gameplay modes, RotTR is a worthy sequel and keeps the franchise going strong. Rise of the Tomb Raider is also a beautiful, graphics-intensive game. So unless you have a recent, high-end Mac you’ll want to check our performance review to see if your Mac can run it; simply supporting Metal (most Macs since 2012) is not enough anymore to guarantee an enjoyable experience.

Action High Total War Sagas: Thrones of Britannia Total War Sagas: Thrones of BritanniaIf you pay any attention to this site at all you know we’re fans of the Total War series. So the announcement of the Total War Saga series, focusing on specific turning points in history, had us intrigued. The first in the series is Thrones of Britannia, set in the British Isles in 878 A.D. As competing factions vie for control of the islands. Smaller in scale and scope than other Total War games, Thrones of Britannia allows you to play as one of ten different factions in your quest to unite the isles under your rule. Featuring the familiar Total War combination of turn-based strategy and real-time battles, you’ll find it easy to jump into if you’ve played a Total War game, but as a smaller game, you’ll find things missing or limited such as city building and building customization. As always, Feral Interactive has done a fantastic porting job, meaning Thrones of Britannia can be played on a variety of Macs. Our only question now is: Where’s Total War: Warhammer 2? Release date: May 24, 2018. Strategy Medium DiRT Rally DiRT RallyDiRT Rally is Codemasters’ latest racing game to arrive to macOS. DiRT Rally has won high praise for its realism, although this includes cautions that it is a deucedly difficult game to master. That’s what comes from being the most thrilling and authentic rally racing game out there. DiRT Rally features three different disciplines: Rally, Rallycross and Hillclimb; 45 cars to choose from; and cross-platform multiplayer with Windows & Linux. You also get 70 stages around the world, multiple tracks in each location, and the ability to fine-tune your car just the way you like it. It’s exhausting reading about all this game offers, much less playing it. DiRT Rally will give you hours of off-road racing challenges and as an added bonus, the system requirements are not that steep: pretty much any Mac that supports Metal can run it. Release date: November 16, 2017. Racing Medium The Witness The WitnessConsidered by its creator a spiritual successor to the classic Myst, in The Witness, you wake up alone on a mysterious island with no memory of who or where you are. To solve these mysteries and find your way home you'll explore the island and be challenged with a series of puzzles. As you solve the puzzles you will solve the mysteries as well. One of the first of the spring of 2017’s onslaught of Metal Mac games, The Witness is a Mac App Store Editor’s Choice which has been praised for its beauty and difficult but solvable puzzles (and lasers!). Featuring an open-world island to explore, The Witness emphasizes line puzzles and a story that some find philosophical while others find pretentious. Everyone agrees it’s a gorgeous game though, worthy of being compared to Myst and its successors. The Witness requirements are modest and should run on most Macs released since 2012. Release date: March 8, 2017. Adventure High World of Warcraft World of WarcraftBlizzard’s World of Warcraft has a special place in our hearts as the first game released with Metal support.
