I realise the platform is going to narrow my options considerably but I keep hearing that things are getting better these days for mac gaming.

The obvious choice is Resident Evil Village and I'm this close to buying it but I'm a bit put off by first having to get it from the Mac App Store, then also the fact that it contains in-app-purchases but most irksome of all, the fact that it requires a network connection to start the game. None of these are dealbreakers, though that 3rd one is as close as it can get to a deal breaker because it's a real turn off. Why should I have a network connection? I'm sure I probably would but if I'm buying it, it's my game and I want to use it how I like.

The main criteria I'm looking for is:

  • M2 Silicone compatible
  • Looking for something with higher end graphics preferably. Haven't been able to do so for so long it'd be nice for a change.
  • preferably native (as opposed to rosetta)
  • has a single player mode
  • preferably is single player focussed
  • as little DRM bullshit as possible (such as completely unnecessary requirements for network connection to play my own game that I've bought)

I've previously enjoyed

  • Dirt Rally (2015)
  • Metro Redux
  • Civ IV and VI

I could list other games but they're pretty much all nearly 20 years old now so they're not so relevant. I particularly like racing but a highly conventional FPS would be fun too, I'm just not really very interested in multiplayer and prefer a storyline.

I really don’t get the influx of downvotes in this community. That’s sad… I’ve had a good time playing CSGo on my M1 Max mbp. But it’s definitely still not there. Otherwise the arcade games are pretty fun! Mini motorways is addictive!
