Hello everyone
Recently, I've bought a Lenovo Ideapad S510p (core i5@nvidia 720m). Everything seemed to be perfect and normal until I installed a video game, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, and ran it on my laptop. While playing, I checked out the temperature of CPU and GPU, and observed that the temperature of those is too high; respectively, 83 and 93 degrees Celsius . In addition, I tested the temperature once by using a Cool Pad and another time without using that. But with each of them the temperature was approximately alike.
I want you to give me your idea about this issue and tell me is this issue normal for this kind of laptop.
Thanks in advance.

Laptops do run hotter than desktop.
I used to have a Fujitsu where CPU would run at 102C.
But if it's new then i would suggest taking it back to the shop and have it checked.
Maybe heatsink is not seated properly or something blocking airflow but don't open it yourself if its under warranty.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, my laptop is quite new. Indeed, in other circumstances everything is good, and the temperature for CPU is between 38 and 60 C, even when I work with matlab or ArcGIS; and for GPU is between 39 and 45 C.
