The same Soc snapdragon 615 has been used in moto x play and gaming is very average on that device bcoz the SOC has to run a full HD 1080p display as a result the phone hangs while gaming, but Moto g turbo is really good in gaming as compared to moto x play bcoz g turbo has a 720p screen as a result SOC can handle heavy games like nova 3 very well.
