Every game on the EGS has the platforms in the description, under where it says "Platform".
Neither Sonic Mania nor Horizon Chase Turbo work on Mac (at least on EGS, dunno if they have Mac ports elsewhere).

I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of EGS either, but once I've got the game, I've got the game. I'm not going to go spend money on something I already own, no matter the storefront.
I don't feel I "own" the game on PC if it's not at Steam, so I get it.
You're absolutely right. This is something I need to continue to work on. I just have the hardest time playing anything to completion on Epic. I understand it's irrational, but it's unfortunately one of the symptoms of this condition I am currently struggling with.
for some reason horizon chase turbo is unavailable for me : (
edit: had to claim it on the website for some reason

One thing that helps is not using the launcher. Make a desktop shortcut, so you just double-click it and the game starts, kind of takes EGS out of it. Of the games I have on EGS, the one that I keep coming back to is SnowRunner, and I often forget that it's not a "regular" Steam game because it's just lumped in with all my other game shortcuts on my desktop.
That, and add the game to your Steam client (as a non-Steam game). (Though the EGS client will sometimes need to be open either way.)
The funniest part about "feeling" you own it or not is that Epic frequently is giving away DRM free copies of these games, whereas Steam still refuses- always a plus in my book.
There's of course ways to make these exes not rely on either launcher, or so I've read somewhere once.

I haven't bought a game on epic store yet, but my library is bursting with great titles.
hurray EPIC!
Horizon Chase Turbo is really good by the way. I was looking for some discussion but it doesn't seem like it picked up around here.
I could use some tips!

That's not up to Steam at all. It's entirely up to the developer as to how the game functions, integrates with the Steam API and even signs executables. Likewise with EGS; In most (all?) cases the "DRM free" builds on EGS is simply because nothing about the EGS API is implemented.
The level design in it is really bad. They're way too long and too cluttered. I had a hard time more than once in Studiopoils trying to find the right way to go. The bosses are some of the worst in the franchise, too. I don't know how you're supposed to beat them without looking up a guide first. They're all basically puzzles. It's not really clear how you're supposed to fight any of them. I've died more in Mania that I probably did in all the Genesis games combined.
Two amazing games.
Don't overlook Horizon chase Turbo people. One of the best Sega (outrun) style retro throwback racers I've ever played.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, right? (not!) I have the same issue by the way š¤£
