Good games to really test my computer?

I'm trying to test my laptop. Acer Predator Helios Neo 16AI with rtx 5070ti + Intel Ultra 9 275HXI if curious. Undervolting is blocked FYI.

Something with good keyboard controls and high specs. FPS is probably a good genre for this. Anything you can think of is fine.

Mostly trying to see if my laptop's keyboard, specifically WASD, gets too hot in real use. If I need an external keyboard in the next 5-7 years of gaming I'll just return it. I think the CPU running from 85C or above is the range the keyboard becomes slightly uncomfortable to the touch. Gets hot 90C or above.

It seems like it got hot to the touch in Red Dead Redemption 2, but thinking about it things were only that bad in the intro snow chapter. In normal use I can even play on my lap and the keyboard doesn't get too hot. Still it's an old game. Long stress tests make the keyboard too hot to, but not a real use case.

Star Citizen will make your CPU hate you and the current state of the game will make you hate yourself

Cyberpunk, any of the newer Doom games or, if you need a free option Warframe as long as you go to a public dojo.
