So I wonder what I might be missing.
The game is using Unity by the way. It's annoying these codec issues still exist and some engines are still using these junk codecs.

and GE-proton has some extra mfplat s**t that's technically some licensing grey area.
i think vanilla wine is missing all the media foundation stuff
but i don't know if that specific game uses media foundation stuff ofc.

Yeah, I don't know if it's related here, but these junk codecs is one of the most common reasons for videos not working.

So what's the right way to install a native override? I couldn't find anything in winetricks.

I see you've already commented here, but mf-install illegally redistributes the Media Foundation DLLs: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1132
They do work for some games, though.
That's my understanding of the situation.
With the additional qualification that the codecs that are patented which you'll actually run into are probably only VC-1, H.264, H.265, and maybe some newer AAC profiles. The baseline profile for H.264 is patent-free, the High profile (most widely used) will be patent-free in the next ~4 years, and the remaining VC-1 patents surely can't expire that far in the future...
No idea how that really interacts with Media Foundation though.

Dealing with codecs shouldn't be any different from how ffmpeg and gstreamer itself deals with them. So it's not the reason for this to be broken in Wine.
