It is ok to play games when charging. The charger is hot, yes, it is a 230W charger. 230W chargers were more than 2kg before, now they make them smaller that why they are hot - that is the rules of physics. Have you tried to touch to an old 100W globe when it is ON ?

 

Please use the following guide to keep battery healthy
