I avoid anything with kernel level anti-cheat. It is a theoretical attack vector - if the anti-cheat were somehow compromised, you've granted it low-level access to your system so whatever payload it is injecting would have that same level of access.

Even if you only play the single player part of a game the anti-cheat will be installed and running in the background.

And how do I know there's an anti-cheat?

Unfortunately just research unless it is stated on the Steam page.
