If gaming in mind M1/M2 13" MBP for the active cooling. M1/M2 Air will throttle down which may impact the gaming experience. I bought my own M1 13" solely for it's battery life. For gaming I have a reasonable PC and rarely use the Mac's for gaming, however I do have a heavily modified version of Doom 3 running natively on the M1 MBP which it plays with no issue. Yes it's a 19 year old game, however the game engine and graphics are all new...
14" MBP is another option, however a good bit more expensive and probably not worth it just to play the occasional game with a few more FPS.
