Actually the game was patched for the MAC yesterday so I finally was 
able to start the game.
The puzzles are very easy.
The story even in the first chapter simply can be described as 
phantastic. Definitely one of the strongest intro stories I have 
encountered in any game ever.

So far the graphics mediumly demanding so far but look fantastic 
nevertheless, but I have not reached the part where everyone was 
complaining about poor framerates.
Nevertheless Red Threaded Games will roll out a first patch mid next 
week which should fix the most serious issues.
Either way in your case I would wait for some time until the biggest 
bugs are ironed out. There are none regarding the game itself so far, 
but I noticed some technical glitches.

What i noticed, where some graphical glitches on the Mac.
I originally had a crash to the desktop after the intro screen, that is 
fixed now (again Mac only, the PC did not have this problem).
The controller support is very limited, you either play with mouse and 
keyboard or you play with an xbox360 or PS3 controller.
PS4 and XBONE controller support is forthcoming. Not sure if they will 
ever patch support for the Steam remote streaming in (The xbox 
controller was not recognized through remote streaming). I am in a 
minority here to wanting to play the game via streaming.

According to the forums, there is a graphically very demanding area 
where the framerate really becomes unstable (Europolis). RTG is working 
currently to fix that. I have yet to reach the area to see how bad it 
really is.
