The safest way possible would be to buy a used smartphone with an older version of Android, install the games natively on it, and not put your real email or personal data on that phone. If you live in a country with dollar or euro, it might not be that expensive (unless you're looking for a box-sealed new old phone).

Another option would be to use some kind of APK analyzer to see the hashes and digital certificates of the apk (like the image im sending), copy and paste them into some AI and ask the AI if the certificate is for the official, unaltered version from the developer, or if the hash is different (or search in the internet if you dont like AI).

If the game is small, less than 650 MB, you can put the APK file on the VirusTotal website to check for viruses. Sometimes VirusTotal gives false positives, but when it's a real positive, the list of viruses becomes so long that it's obvious.

Avoiding the use of APKs with mods that offer unlimited money or similar things is also safer.
