Safest possible way? Separate machine on a different network, like guest Wi-Fi.
Realistically? I use containers blocking Internet and most file access and only use sources I trust not Internet rando releases.
Right, to elaborate run a packet capture and monitor the IPs your system connects to when installing and playing the game.
Never use a web browser with email or any other access to online accounts, clear all cookies after each browsing session.
I'd argue have a separate boot drive with absolutely nothing stored, nothing critical, no cookies, it's single use of getting the games and hell, probably even run a VPN while playing the games so no tracing back to ISP public IP.
