Halo:CE played on CrossOver24 (Halo MCC)
Performance is definitely acceptable, but there's pretty large frame drops when Checkpoints or Loading zones are hit. On some levels (Assault on the Control Room, especially) makes this borderline unplayable on harder difficulties as you'll have several seconds of frozen game play before getting blown up or sliced by a sword.
Note: anti-cheat does need to be disabled.

Trails of Cold Steel 1, on Mac! (Intel, Crossover 24)
! Mild early-mid game spoilers !
A little gameplay & performance overview of an older RPG, but a well-loved one that I found myself appreciating a lot more than I'd have imagined.
Unfortunately, performance isn't perfect - watch the video to see different settings & FPS caps.

Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat - iPad 8
4-stars due to the controller not working universally across the app & for occasional frame spikes.
Controller works during gameplay for most things except the ultimate attacks, that seems to still require you to tap the screen for it. Also, all menu navigation is by touchscreen. This is a sub-optimal experience. Otherwise the in-game combat & movement is very responsive. Overall, the graphics are well designed & acceptably performant.
