CrossOver
v25.0Steam version crashes at start, despite having no anti-tamper software. Cracked version works with good performance using DXVK, which has better performance than D3DMetal and DXMT, just having a bit more initial shader compilation stutter, but it soon gets stable. It's possible to inject TAA (Alias Isolation mod) to immensely improve image quality, as well as other mods, just put the mod files in the main game directory and add the .dll name in Wine Configuration > Libraries (native, builtin) inside your bottle. Controller works but I had to disable Hidraw in Crossover

Native
Maybe because it's a somewhat old x86 OpenGL game, it seems to demand a lot from the CPU and/or there's a lot of unoptimized code as it's translated through Rosetta 2. Can't get a stable 60 fps on M1 Pro no matter the resolution and graphics settings.
Anti-aliasing is broken, options have not much effect in image quality and it looks awfully distracting. On the PC version you can inject TAA to make it better but not sure about the Mac port.
SSAO can cause performance dips, so consider disabling it. Considering the already dark environments, there's not much difference in image fidelity.
Parallels
v20Boots normally into the main menu but crashes when starting a new game or continuing a save game . Same occurs with VMware Fusion.
CrossOver lets you run Windows games on macOS without rebooting.
