Apple laptops are not really meant for playing games since games tend to run the laptop extremely hot which can cause the CPUs to become throttled. Having said that you need to look at the Recommended System Requirements for any games you wish to play on the Mac and verify the Mac meets the recommended system requirements. If the computer doesn't meet the recommended system requirements, then the game will not run or perform well. The Minimum System Requirements mean exactly that --- the game may run with all graphical settings and other modes at their lowest settings, but expect the game to look awful and perform poorly. Even simple games may require a computer with high end specifications.
