Install bottles from flatpak.

Press "run executable" and run the installer, installing in a folder like ~/games for easy finding

If you're lucky the game now appears in bottles and you can run it, otherwise add a shortcut (button in bottles) pointing to the game's exe.

If you need controller support, from bottles click "more" on the game and add it to steam (restart steam for it to show up) and launch the game from steam and it will take care of the controller mapping and you even get the nice remapping features.
