    Hi all,
    Approaching mid life (crisis maybe) and have a sudden urge to begin gaming again. Had an xbox growing up but sold it in favour of responsibility ha. What games would ye recommend for a 2015 macbook air? Also i have 40 gb of space on my hard drive, is it possible to download say Shadow of Mordor at 60gb? I may be upgrading my macbook next year to macbook pro. Am I being realistic in hoping to game on a macbook or should I just buy a ps4/xbox and keep gaming and work separate?

    Myself, I run an i7 Mac mini 16gb ram with a SONNET Puck eGPU with 4GB ram. I might run a game early next year.
    Interesting thread though.

    So what ye are stating is invest in a ps4 for gaming and keep work on the Mac book? I suppose I’m a small bit frustrated as I think macs are great computers but there is little in the way of gaming ability. Was able to play bioshock from feral interactive but since updating to Catalina I can’t play that any more

    BootCamp may be another option... the PC versions of some games do run better than their Mac equivalents, they’re impervious to Catalina’s 64-bit whims, and of course there’s a lot more games to choose from.
