Most of Steam games rely on Proton for support. You need to enable it in Steam's settings, under Steam Play.
You can check how well a game runs on protondb. Some games may require additional steps to be playable (using a specific version of Proton, installing something), protondb reports most of the time include required information.
Honestly, this needs to go away, there is never a scenario where Linux gamers only want to play some of their games. There should be instead some pop up window for non proton verified games instead of an obtuse setting.
