Yes, you can either add the game as a non-steam game and force proton, or use Lutris or Bottles (with proton or other WINE runner). For repacks with installers, you can launch the setup.exe with Lutris or Bottles (install the game to 'fake' drive_c and move it), just make sure you include dependencies that require it (usually .net framework).

There are also repackers like jc141 e LinuxRulez that also manage the dependencies and prefix for you. LinuxRulez also gives you appropriate Wine versions if needed

Not to necro this thread, but lets say someone I know has gotten copy of a repack and when they try to install it with Lutris it says they don't have enough disk space to run the installer, is it possible to create the wine bottle and specify the size of it before launching the installer?

Are you installing it to the C drive? There's directory called drive_c, which will look like a windows C drive.
