Get your games from trusted sources, make sure the hash lines up, and don't worry about it. Especially since you're on Linux--you'll be absolutely fine. Common sense goes a long way.

Not an expert, but I assume Bottles would be a good idea. It allows you to create separate wine prefixes for each app so if any app is malicious, it shouldn't affect any other one.
If you're really paranoid, you could run the game inside bubblewrap, inside a container.
lmao literally my setup + a VM layer on top of it all.
Maybe im too paranoid
Spin up a VM, load the game on that.
Not sure why youre being down voted, theoretically this is like the safest way to run a game "on linux", even if you are using windows under it lol
