To be honest, common sense is the best form of security. If you don't trust something, either run it in a VM, or don't run it at all.
To answer your question, Microsoft defender should be plenty.
Virtual Machines are not a good way to test if something has malware. Most viruses are programmed to not do anything if they detect that they're being ran in a VM.
Did they say to test it in a vm? It looks to me like they’re saying to run it in a vm since it’s untrusted
Yes but in a VM you have to make sure you PASSTHROUGH a GPU. Maybe OP can execute games by another user without privileges. Like execute app as not admin, or user.
