It's better to just look for a game /you want to play/. Chances are, it'll "just work" via proton even if there's no native version. Right click game -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Pick any recent version.

Or, to answer more directly, I've recently played on linux via steam and can recommend:

- Total War Warhammer II (native, don't need the DLC unless you want to play specific factions)

- Frostpunk (proton)

- Don't Starve (native)

- Civilization VI (native)

- Factorio (native)

- Crusader Kings II / III (native)

- Valheim (native)

- Pathfinder: Kingmaker (native)

It goes against OP's stated desire to not do any installation or configuring, but cloning and building Proton-GloriousEggroll [0] can broaden the horizon of what Just Works quite considerably. Once built and copied into place, it's as easy as selecting it in the Proton dropdown.

I’ve had issues with Civ 6 on a pretty damn beefy (albeit Nvidia) machine. Multiplayer was unplayable (would get a black screen when the match started) or laggy to the point of not being playable.

This was a few years ago on Ubuntu, and I had better on Fedora a bit later, though the game still need to be tuned down for multiplayer to be usable.
