Loved the game and it works pretty well on my M2 MacBook Air (16GB-1TB), but once you've completed the game you cant play again as if it's a new run. The problem is Gamecenter keeps all your stats and does not retset them on a 2nd playthrough. So when you start a new game all the loot boxes are already open and characters you're supposed to meet like Marshall or the Janitor are not located where they're suppose to be or do not respond like the did in the intial playthrough. It's great as a play once game but the replay ability is bad on Mac. I wish Remedy and Mac could sort this out as replay ability would have been brilliant. So DO NOT click "New Game" unless you've throughly played the game and done every single side quest or level.

I can't find a true support contact, so... Suddenly most of the light went dark after dying during the "Launch to complete the Astral Plane challenge." I thought it was part of the game to make it more challenging. The lighting returned to normal when I got to the mailroom suddenly even though the message "Launch to complete the Astral Plane challenge" persisted making me think I should still be in the challenge. I claimed a control spot and then found a room full of enemies I could launch things at. I died quickly, as happens. When I respawned at the control point the lighting was again mostly gone. I can barely navigate the environment. Going back to the fight room it's impossible to fight now because I can't see more than a few outlines in the environment. I thought it might clear up by dying again, but the light remains mostly off. Of course, I quit and restated a few times, even waiting a couple hours to come back, but the lack of lighting persists. I even tried fiddling with many display settings, including default of course, but nothing works. What do I do to keep playing? I know the game is not supposed to look like this or you’d see it in videos etc. I have an iMac M4, 10 core, 32GB RAM.

This game is a really good port, I have an M4 MacBook Pro and at mostly Medium settings I can get about 60FPS at an internal resolution of 720P. However I feel like there is more room for optimization. Don’t get me wrong its perfect performance compared to comparable windows laptops but games like Death Stranding are games that show just how much you can get out of a game when you really optimize for the M series chips. Still if you are interested in the game and your system can run it I say pick it up, if you are on the M2 or earlier though I would expect 30FPS.

I have played this game on both ps5 and windows and loved it so when I saw there was a Mac port curiosity got the better of me and I had to test it out. I tried it on a m1 MacBook Air 8gb so pretty much the lowest end hardware the game supports and I’m very impressed. I left it on default settings which is around medium at 540p native with metalFX and it pretty much always stays locked at 30 fps and looks pretty decent as well. You are getting a way better experience on a thin and light laptop from 5 years ago than on a ps4. Thats pretty impressive. If you are on a newer Mac then this is going to run super well. Great game and a great port. You should definitely check it out.
