You’ll find dozens and dozens of games in Apple Arcade, and—wonder of wonders—almost none are bad.

Some games are better than others, though, so here’s a list of 5 games you can start with. These games

weren’t necessarily made with the biggest budgets or by the biggest studios, but they’re games that

are endlessly replayable and stick in your head. By Leif Johnson

SAYONARA WILD HEARTS

go.macworld.com/swh

Sayonara Wild Hearts is a psychedelic, music-driven fever dream. It’s technically a

rhythm game in the vein of Thumper, but it says sayonara to that game’s abstrac-

tions in favor of a trippy story about a woman saving the world on her motorcycle.

She flies through crevasses, collects hearts, carefully times jumps, and spatters

bullets into towering robot dogs while catchy pop songs thump in the background.
