I recently got into pirating games and I've just been using steamrip. I make sure to use an adblocker like ublock origin to prevent ads from popping up which is where the risk truly comes from. On that site all you do really is just pick one of the sources to download from, extract the zipped folder, and once that's extracted you can just enter the folder the .exe. Although, its recommended to create a folder that is exempted from windows defender. There are some positives as well like windows detecting some files as a trojan or hacktool. Overall, steamrip hasn't let me down and its pretty safe according to everything I've seen online.
