Game summary
Play GhostWire: Tokyo on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play GhostWire: Tokyo on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

🕹 Editor's notes
Ghostwire: Tokyo. Impressive as they say it is?
The action-adventure game, Ghostwire: Tokyo might be the game you were looking for. It is hauntingly disturbing, even though it is not a horror game, and the game is based in the Shibuya district of Tokyo.
Ironically, in the real world, Shibuya is a district full of liveliness, energy, and fun. But this game is so interesting because Tango Gameworks has made Shibuya a ghost town.
The place is entirely deserted, courtesy of a supernatural force, and the empty streets might leave you completely spooked out. The rendition of the district is almost as close to the real one, and the game embraces Japanese lore and legends.
This first-person shooter game has two protagonists named Akito and a ghost named KK who enters his body, giving Akito magical powers.
The good thing about all open-world games is that they let you wander around exploring, and Ghostwire: Tokyo has a huge map to explore even though it is not as close to The Witcher franchise or Skyrim.
What we like
In addition to the game embracing Japanese legends and lores, it has one of the most gorgeous, visually appealing graphics. Not forgetting the intense combat action throughout the game, where you can melt, shoot or blast your enemies with hands that are blessed with magical powers.
What's convenient is that, even though they added a lot of combat action into it, it is not overly complicated, which is good since complexity sometimes tends to ruin the fun.
However, even though the game is full of ghosts, unlike the Evil Within, the game is not as scary as you might expect, so don't go overboard with the hype to see yourself disappointed.
Wrapping up
Ghostwire: Tokyo brings the elements of a horror action-based open-world game with excellent graphics and an almost perfect rendition of the district of Shibuya, battling ghosts from Japanese lore and legends.
From the main story to the side quests, playing the game couldn't be more satisfying, and it is by no means terrible by any standard. Do you see yourself playing this game?
