Games playable on Mac with Parallels
These games run on Mac by installing Windows in a virtual machine with Parallels Desktop. Parallels runs the ARM build of Windows on Apple Silicon; you install the game inside Windows and play. It uses more resources than CrossOver, but it's the most "just works" route for games that need a full Windows environment.
