Polygon recently published a breakdown of all the games we got for free in 2016

Was just wondering what your thoughts on this year's lineup was?
In terms of the games that stood out for me, I really liked:
- Grim Fandango
- Broforce
- I am Alive (played back on PS3)
- Zombi
- Gone Home
- Furi (have only demoed)
- Saints Row GOoH
- Resident Evil
- Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
- Stories: The Path of Destinies
That being said, after reviewing Microsoft' games with gold lineup...well Sony was basically blown out of the water. To be fair, Microsoft has 1 less system to worry about, and has made their games backwards compatible.

Going forward, it would be great if we could get some old classics and AAA games as well as the quality indies. Don't bother dropping the older indies that no one wants just to inflate the value...save up the money for the next month. It would also be useful to focus funds on the current generation, rather than the old gen and handheld. Providing a single PS3 game and a single PS Vita game (or cross compatible games) is more than enough.
TBH, I am surprised that we still haven't gotten Killzone Shadowfall.
Edit: Just wondering, if PS+ wasn't required to play online games, would you still subscribe to the service? Same goes for any Xboners who are subbed to games with gold.
Personally, I think I would keep my subscription as I have played many of the games on offer, and regularly take advantage of the additional discounts when ps store has a sale.

I've been a plus subscriber since when it was available on the ps3. The added discounts is what really made it worth while. The game hands outs were a nice touch as well. The games were a hit or miss. Not everyone will like them, but just because i don't doesn't mean you wont, and vice versa. The whole plus vs gwg comparisons are utterly pointless since its all subjective. What determines who had a better month? The price of the offerings? Quantity of games handed out? Or quality? Also surprised by how many people expect a newly released title to be available the following month over the "indie trash" lol. In my opinion plus and gwg are made for the indie scene rather than the aaa titles that everyone seems to expect every single month.
