What vague praise? I mentioned I mostly play older games. Your M2 Max won't get anywhere near gaming PC performance, but now that DX12 is mostly working some recent games should work with lower graphics settings. The Youtube channel I linked tests a lot of different games on various machines, and it doesn't take much time to just test it out yourself.
These games should be playable on an M2 Max: Cyberpunk 2077, Diablo IV, Control, Dead Space, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Spider-Man Remastered, FF7 Remake, Shadow Warrior 3
Recently I've been playing AOE2 DE, it's upscaled to native resolution and runs at 120fps with highest graphics.
