Like everyone else, I suggest Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher for most games. Lutris has a relatively straightforward interface to walk you through what it offers. It can even help you install EA and Ubisoft games. Heroic launcher allows you to install games from the Epic and GOG stores. Minecraft has multiple launchers available. Plus, there's RetroArch and DOSBox for most retro stuff. There are system-specific emulators like Dolphin for GameCube. There are even some fun, free games like "Super Tux Kart" and "Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead."

Everything I just mentioned is available for download using the "Discover" app in desktop mode of Bazzite. If you have questions about specific games, I might be able to help.

The Bazzite devs all use and suggest Lutris themselves for anything that isn't Epic, and none of them use Bottles. I have no opinion and also use Lutris, but if OP wants help from them officially, that's gonna be their suggestion.
