Portal
Publisher: Valve
Game Information
Portal™ is a new single player game from Valve. Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay.
The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life® 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation.
Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space.

Allocated 24 cores, 100gb of RAM . Actually, it seems to run better here than the Native Version oh and better mod support. Works well even on lower end devices.

Review Note:
There is a video tutorial online you can follow to compile this game from a source code leak natively for 64 bit apple silicon. It runs very well with no issues, but does not integrate with steam. You still need to own the game and have its files to compile.
