While big table can be classified as a database that can be scaled to extremely large size, I would not recommend it for the backend of a game at all.

It would be extremely expensive to run a workload like this, and would not be very performant.

This is if we are assuming a very high transaction rate, lots of concurrency and likely highly volatile data. Big table is just not really for that. Either is Dynamo. Both of these are great at giant scale multi purpose databases however.
