This is part of a series. Showcasing popular and intriguing games from the past 12 years or so. Based on my own idiosyncratic curation. A few remasters included. Most early access games excluded. Games only appear in one category (I tried my best). Mishmash is primarily about suggesting games with good potential for Mac users. Everything here works on macOS silicon.
