Officially only MacBook Pro models since late 2016 are supported.
Xeon and pre-Haswell i5/i7 CPUs do not support the AVX2 instruction set, so are not able to run the game (there should be an error message about that, actually). A game updated added support for 2013 CPUs to the Steam and GOG releases (we are working with Apple to add that for the App Store version), and there are plans to add additional fixes for 2010/2012 model CPUs, but there is no ETA for that.
Also, nvidia graphics are not supported, and the default mid 2010 model MacBook Pro GPUs do not have Metal support, so even with CPU fixes, will not be able to run the game (mid 2012 are the earliest models with Metal support). It may be possible to upgrade the card, or use an eGPU with Metal support.
