The PS3 offering this month is great. The PS4 seems decent but certainly not the most exciting. I think this year has been pretty good overall, although people's tastes will always vary. I always see people suggesting that they should include the launch titles - while I understand that logic, and they'll probably do it eventually, I don't think I'd choose to include any of those games. This year (counting only the PS4 games that I personally think were at least decent) we've had: Infamous FL, The Swapper, Apotheon, Transistor, Rogue Legacy, Oddworld NnT, Valiant Hearts, Guacamelee, Hohokum, Race the Sun, Unfinished Swan, Ground Zeroes, Skulls of the Shogun, Rocket League, Entwined, Lara Croft and the ToO, Grow Home, Super Time Force Ultra, Teslagrad, Broken Age, Super Meat Boy, TWD Season 2, Magicka 2.
I'd say that's comfortably worth £40. Certainly not all games will appeal to all people, but even if you only liked 10 of those 23 that would still represent pretty great value. There are certainly months where I look at the offering and nothing really grabs me, but taken over the course of a whole year it continues to be pretty good. Even on a purely monetary value level (which some people seem to argue) I'd suggest that a 2-year-old game like Black Flag is worth less than a newish indie release. (For the record I don't want to boil it down to "people hate indie games" because it's not that simple.)

Just came here to say I'm happy with December's offerings. Games that I would not have bought and played if not for this service.
This is usually where I'm at. I generally buy games I know I want either at launch or when they first go on sale, so it's rare for me to get one of those on PS+ unless it comes out for free straight away (such as with Rocket League or The Binding of Isaac Rebirth). I'm all about games that I might not ordinarily try out otherwise.
