February 2022 • Macworld 91graphics, suitable
for modern 4K
displays. It’s only
compatible with
Catalina (macOS
10.15), but when you
buy the game on
Steam you also get
the original version
as well, which will
still run on older
versions of macOS.
You can buy the game on the App
Store as well – but it’s more expensive
(£19.99) and you only get the
remastered version for newer Macs.
- Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3
– Zombie Chronicles Edition
Price: £44.99 from fave.co/31EB631
There’s a bit of ground to cover before
you dive in here. Like most games that
use Apple’s Metal graphics system,
Black Ops III has some pretty steep
system requirements, so make sure
your Mac can handle the game before
breaking out your credit card. There
are also three options for buying
the game, starting with the Zombies
Chronicle Edition priced at £44.99.
This includes the main single-
player campaign, which is set in 2065
and kicks off with you being sent
on a mission to rescue the Prime
Minister of Egypt who is being held
prisoner somewhere in Ethiopia.
The near-future setting allows the
game to introduce plenty of high-
tech weapons and powered-up body
armour, and the shoot-em-up action
comes fast and furious – even if the
globe-trotting missions can feel a bit
generic at times.
This version of the game also
includes an online mode with a great
variety of multiplayer modes to
explore, as well as the hugely popular
Zombies Chronicles expansion pack,
which moves the game sideways
into a world that’s been overrun by
shambling brain-eaters.
If you’re not interested in the
single-player campaign then you can
buy the Multiplayer Starter Pack on
its own, which just allows you to leap
into the multiplayer side of things40.
