I've had this laptop for about 5-6 years, and it gets really hot when I game. The peak temperature reaches around 100°C. Should I be concerned about this? Would changing the thermal paste or doing something else help?

The simplest solution is to clean out the fan intakes and make sure your laptop is sitting on a cool surface. For a deeper fix, consider taking it apart to clean inside and replace the thermal paste.
Definitely clean the dust from inside your laptop and replace the thermal paste. Laptops can run hot, but anything over 90°C is risky. Keeping it clean should help a lot.
