You could check for yourself: https://www.protondb.com/

If a game is rated Gold or above, it's generally good to go on most systems. Platinum is the best rating other than Native, which means it's a game with an official Linux version. Proton is the reason I switched to Linux.

Bronze and Silver games might play fine too, but you'll either have to do some tinkering or it just won't work. It's not that often that these games work "out of the box."
