How to play Sonic Lost World on Mac
Game summary
Play Sonic Lost World on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Sonic Lost World 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
While some dedicated Sonic fans are disappointed, claiming that Team Sonic and SEGA haven't done our favorite 2-D hero the justice he deserves on Sonic Lost World 1 as much as they did on the Sonic Generations, we think the bigger picture looks better than its predecessor.
It is a great platform game with outstanding design on the levels, and you can now explore more areas. The game also has old archnemesis and added new antagonists who call themselves the Deadly Six. You participate in awesome combats with new and old enemies testing your skills with each attack and level.
Plot
The new enemies, known as the Deadly Six, plan to eradicate the world, and it's up to Sonic and his new power-ups and moves to change the world's faith by defeating them before it all turns south.
It all started when his arch nemesis, Dr. Eggman, tries to harness the power of the Deadly Six, but in turn, the new antagonists rise against him, and it's an all-out war between the characters. The plot twist is when Sonic teams up with his old arch nemesis to take down the Six.
They set out on a journey across the Lost Hex to find the Deadly Six and battle head-on to save the world from their reign.
Gameplay
Sonic Lost World 1 lets you experience an innovative 2D and 3D platforming blend. You'll find yourself dashing through several stages with a 360-degree range of motion. Sprinting along conical courses, it rotates as you shift from left to right.
At one point, you are dashing, the other, you are skydiving from one section to another, leading to an incredible boss fight. Just like the classic sonic games, but with a blend of 2D and 3D gameplay, you'll find yourself tackling various side-scrolling plots and, at other times, its full 3D gameplay with excellent effects and visuals.
