Buggy

If your game is laggy, set graphics to low, lower the resolution and turn off camera smoothing in the controls settings.
Also, why does this game lock you out of basic OS functions? You cant CMD Tab, switch desktops, or use any other app. It's caused several problems for me.
Lags, Unplayable

I bought the game despite the many other reviews saying it lags, thinking my M1 Macbook Pro bought handle it but, alas, it did not. Lagged to point of unplayable. I was bummed! I wanted to fall in love with this game.
Roadblock in the First 5 minutes

I'm frustrated. Got to the point in the first part of the story where Jack needs to swing on a cable to advance. Shouldn't be difficult, but instead, Jack just swings one way, then returns to center. Swings the other way, but the "pendulum" stops in the middle. So I'm stuck. Disappointed that I apparently have wasted my money.

Incredibly Short and Linear

I had high hopes but this gae is way to short, very linear in that you do it ONE WAY only, and I didn't even understand what the story was here! just not worth it.
Awesome game BUT

Played on a M2 Pro (16" MBP) and didn't notice too many performance issues, maybe a stutter or two here and there. The environment is super immersive and the voice acting is superb.
A bit of a nightmare... unintentionally

By Adiamonte
Either this is a garbage port or Apple Silicon is just not ready for primetime. 32g of RAM and a full un-binned 38 GPU core M2 Max and I'm getting 20-35 FPS at 1440p with medium quality textures and MetalFX set to quality. Now this game doesn't NEED to run at 60 FPS to be enjoyable, honestly it feels like the devs have baked input lag into the code, but my god what Mac do I need to buy to run decently at a decent preset? An M38 ULTRA MAX SUPRIM? This game runs just fine on some pretty medicre PC cards WITHOUT upscaling, do I just have a garbage Mac?
FPS and the medium preset on Apple's second most powerful system aside, the biggest issue with this game is the stuttery mess that occurs every time the game loads a portion of the map. We're talking multi-second zero-FPS stuttery jank. And it's not like it loads a portion of the map every 30 minutes or so, but like every five minutes. It is simply UNACCEPTABLEW that with 32 GIGS of VRAM, MEDIUM TEXTURES, and UPSCALING FROM 1080P, that any level of stutter should occur, much less this strokey nightmare. Hey Devs, can you not pre-compule shaders on a Mac?
How do I get a refund?
Don't bother

Glitchy, studdering video. This is on an M1 Mac.
A waste of $25.
Incredibly Glitchy on a Mac Studio

After three (3) crashes I was finally able to get the program to remain booted after making some tweaks to the display options. However, even then the video is sporadic and studders frequently. The most disappointing aspect is I am unable to get past the first few minutes of the game as it appears a glitch prevents the main character from swinging back and forth on a cable to enter Solaris. I'm experiencing these issues on a Mac Studio configured with a Studio Display, M1 Ultra chipset, 128 GB of memory, 8 TB hard drive, and running the latest version of Sanoma (14.1). Unlike other games on my computer, the "Game Mode On" notification does not appear when booting up this game. Overall, I am extremely disappointed in this game's performance.
