A friend of mine was a gamer many years ago but hasn’t been gaming in a while. They run a Mac and I run a PC. What are some good patient games we can play together?

    Torchlight 2

    It’ll run well on just about anything (both hardware and OS) and its co-op multiplayer is quite fun.

    Also regularly on sale for 5 or 10 USD.

    Borderlands 3. I’ve never tried it in multiplayer, and it certainly isn’t as well written as 2, but it’s fun and it has cross play.

    Factorio. The best value for money game i have ever bought. It is never on sale, so no need to wait.

    The factory must grow! But remeber that the factory can not grow if the engineer do not eat, sleep and care for themself and their family!

    Pretty much anything valve released on the source engine. TF2, half life 2, portal 2, either of the left 4 dead games, all run on Mac and have co-op modes.

      With a bit of fiddling (i.e. installing the Windows version of Steam with Wine). I think they’re all still 32-bit and Apple has dropped 32-bit support in recent macOS releases. Maybe that’ll change since they’re making a 64-bit Linux version of Team Fortress 2, but I won’t hold too much hope.
