MacOS (previously OS X) is an operating system used in Apple laptops and computers. Currently, the platform counts as many as 14 significant releases each called correspondingly with wildlife or parks' names. The system is the part of Unix-based families and features layered design as well as enclosed source code which means it is not possible to setup non-Apple PC with Macintosh OS. Usually, all the apps installed in the system must be verified by Apple Store application built-in in OS. Such a system reduces the number of games on the platform considerably. However, some Windows titles can work on Mac OS through Wine emulator, and the others can be ported to Linux and played on Mac. The system has the support of every significant game-distribution services such as Steam, Battle.net, and Origin. However, not every title there is accessible.

Why some games have no rating

RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected 6 or more user votes. Below that it returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five “exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.

Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which recovers 1 of the 7 games here that would otherwise read as unrated. The rest have no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there is nothing to retrieve.

Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 (too few ranked games here to take a local one) in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where it exists — 5 of these games have one.

Ranked 7 games with at least one vote

Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 in proportion to how few votes it rests on, and Metacritic is folded in at half that weight where it exists. A 6-vote 4.67 therefore ranks below a 2,100-vote 4.45 — the raw figure is shown under each score, and sorting by raw score ignores the weighting entirely.

Bars show how the votes split — Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip. A ~ on the raw figure marks a score recomputed from a breakdown RAWG suppresses.
