My laptop goes really hot and noisy every time I start a game
and the CPU take only 1 minute to rise from 60 to 100°C

1. Clean your fans and vents with canned compressed air, maybe there is a lot of dust in your laptop.
2. Open the Omen Command Center and set the fan Speed to Max while gaming. See if that helps with the temperatures.
3. Try undervolting the CPU via Intel Extreme Tuning Utility or Throttlestop. There are plenty of guides out there on how to do that. You can decrease CPU temperatures by up to ~10 Degrees Celsius by that. Also, undervolting is completely safe so don't be afraid, you really can't mess that up if you follow the guides.
4. If you're still covered by warranty, maybe you can send your laptop to HP to repaste the thermal compound.
5. Use a Laptop cooling pad. This should help reduce temperatures by ~3-5 Degrees Celsius.
If nothing works, then it's either a Hardware problem or just a poorly designed cooling solution, the latter being a typical problem with Omen laptops it seems.

Thank you, I did all the steps that were mentioned and didn't work Except number 3
Intel Extreme Tuning Utility is very useful I tried undervolting and CPU decreased by 5 it was a good start
then I used a power limit Throttling instead of Thermal Throttling by decreasing the Turbo Boost power Max to 15w
and now the CPU Temp never goes over 70 °C
