Is MBAM better, or is microsoft defender enough if you download from trusted sources?

Do you consider Nyaa safe? (I'd like to get a visual novel or two that I haven't purchased on steam yet)

Regarding other games, I always used pirate bay and I've been fine, 10 years ago though. Are the website listed in the wiki generally safe?

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.

Yes and No. You should be able to set some GroupPolicies, and execute games by that type of policies like Application Guard. (Search GPO).

Application Guard is a security feature that isolates untrusted applications in a separate container, so if an attacker does manage to exploit a vulnerability, they’ll be contained and prevented from doing any further damage.
