You don't need any extra tools. A basic function of Steam is "Add non-Steam Game" it's the little + symbol at the bottom left of the window. Find the .exe of the game you want to add, click, and it's in your steam library now. You'll want to add custom artwork, but it works. If the game launches in a separate launcher, that launcher will launch from steam of course.

Unless it's changed in the last year or so, Windows store stuff doesn't show up, because it's not a normal executable. You needed UWP hook to import them to Steam.
