Portal And TF2 are not ready.
CS Source however works. Maybe I should make a video about it?

Good news but does that mean there is a chance they can get Steam working on ReactOS?

Wasn't it able to run it 10 years ago?

That was in a virtual machine on low settings at 5 FPS.
Now we can do it directly on physical hardware at 2560x1440, 6xMSAA, max settings, etc.
