How well do native Linux games run on Alpine Linux? (feddit.de)

I'm considering getting myself a Thinkpad x230 and installing Alpine on it and perhaps playing some games with it as well. I've read that some games may have problems running due to the lack of glibc. So, it would be nice if anyone could share how well Minecraft and Factorio can run on Alpine. Thanks!

I wonder how well gcompat works. Is it as simple as running a program with Wine?

Alpine wiki makes it sound like an install and forget thing
