All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone, Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Game Series.
