Any good game recommendations for MacOS?

Sounds weird I know, but I'm a nursing student and while I'm living in my dorm the only computers and systems I have access to are Mac or iOS. They're just more compatible with the hospital and school systems we use for labs etc here. I'm usually a moderate PC gamer, but I still want to be able to so something while I'm cooped up in my room at night. I have a Nintendo Switch, but nothing hits the spot like a good Steam game. If you have any recommendations, please let me know! I'm new to the forum as well, but I've been watching LMG content since they were in the old house (whole room water cooling era). I know it's a long shot, but anything would help. Thanks!

Well for starters you can install Steam and see if any of your existing games show up as compatible.

 

On an x86 they should work, on M1 its a bit hit and miss.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)
Upgrading Laptop/Desktop CNVIo WiFi 5 cards to PCIe WiFi6e/7

x86, 2019 MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz 6 core i7. Only Steam games I have that work are CS:GO or ATS. Just looking for any suggestions others might have. Been using steam for ~12 years but I can't seem to find any MacOS titles. Might not be looking in the right place

If it’s yours, you can dualboot windows.

Civilization 6 has a Mac version that's actually pretty good. Great time-killer, too!

Bastion, Binding of Isaac, Dusk, Hollow Knight, Lonely Mountains Downhill were fun and not very system intensive in case you have an older Mac like myself.
