I currently play Cities Skylines on my 2017 MacBook Air, which is torture by itself (to play I have to use the absolute LOWEST settings, with a very low resolution, and still I get crappy frame rates). Well since I got an excuse to upgrade, I'm looking at possible the new M1 MacBook Air or even maybe the MacBook Pro. There is a M1 Parallels out. Valorant does not work on virtual machines (i.e. Parallels) even on Intel. Its kernel-level anti-cheat vgk.sys does not load properly on a VM. Valorant isn’t playable on M1 chips. Other games work fine both natively or with Rosetta 2 or with crossover/parallels.

I have some older games on Steam library, and I would like to play some of them on my MacBook Air. They're not compatible with Mac, and Steam doesn't let me download.

Games that I'd like to play are Heroes III-HD edition and Fallout-New Vegas, if If you install Steam via crossover and then go into the Steam bottle and choose run command you can just point to the exe file and run setup. Normally the game will run well. I'm playing Metro 2033 Redux on my M1 Macbook Pro. Installed the cheap GOG one into the steam bottle and it works fine. Same game is £15 on Steam. . 107 219 399 73 321 41 12 283 124
