December 2020's PlayStation Plus games have been announced, and we've already seen a load of mixed reactions here on Push Square. Some think it's an okay lineup, others think it's a steaming pile of hot trash. Truth be told, we tend to fall somewhere in between, but as always, we want to know your opinion on the matter.
December's selection includes Worms Rumble on PS5, while PS4 gets Just Cause 4 and Rocket Arena. In terms of critical acclaim, it's not great. Just Cause 4 was a technical mess when it first launched back in 2018, but perhaps it'll be brought up to speed on PS5 through backwards compatibility? Meanwhile, Rocket Arena is an all-but-forgotten hero shooter which received massive discounts just weeks after its release earlier this year. We can only hope it being on PS Plus gives it a second chance.
As for Worms Rumble, it ditches the classic turn based Worms formula and opts for bombastic real-time action. We'll have to wait and see how this one plays out.
So, what do you think of December 2020's selection? Good or bad, vote in our polls, and then speak your mind in the comments section below.

just cause 4 seems like just cause 3 with slightly better graphics, not sure why anyone cares about this game, worms rumble seems like an absolutely awful idea and rocket arena looks like tepid garbage
Terrible. Just Cause I have and tried via PS Now, and it’s terrible, so two minus points. Then you have online multiplayer repetitive games.
I subbed again for the PS Collection, plus bugsnax, and the cloud storage, so don’t care too much, but i’d obviously like some half decent games.
Tales of Berseria would be decent for me.
Oooof, the people who worked on worms rumble must be hurting pretty bad. Imagine making a game, then giving it away as part of a sub for most players to not be interested even for basically free.
I've no interest in any of them, Just Cause has never been a great franchise and whilst I do like Worms games, the new one just looks like an awful idea of how to continue the franchise. With Cyberpunk out on the 10th none of these are going to get a look in
@Old-Red devalues the game incredibly, I don't think it will sell very many copies at all unfortunately
Just Cause 4 is probably the worst in the series and I don't really care about the other two games.
Wasn’t last December’s selection crap as well? Or am I thinking of January?
Its ok.just cause 4 is cool.word up son
indie games use to be better than these
Aw man, I want to give Worms Rumble a chance, but I don't like how it just throws the one gameplay style for something that is basically a 2D Battle Royale. Why not make an original IP for that instead!?
Entitled picky *****rds.
I bought just cause 4 at launch played 10 min. Never touched it again. Haha
@brubeck definitely, I'd much rather have indie games on plus. If you've been with Playstation for a while then you'll likely have played most of the big games by now and with so many added the the plus collection on PS5 its not likely we'll see any great AAA games for quite some time now. At least with indie games it'll be something different
team 17 will have seen how well fall guys did when released on plus and be hoping for the same sort of hit. All depends on how well the game is received and if streamers take to the game. It could be a lot of fun.
@carlos82 yeah because people won’t cry about getting indies as well. 🤦🏻♂️
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi like rocket league and fall guys were devalued?
@Old-Red How is it any different than what Fall Guys did?
I put a decent amount of hours into JC3. It was super mindless and empty but good fun anyhow. For some reason JC4 just didn't seem have the same charm, so I stopped playing it after like an hour or 2.
Overjoyed. I was just saying to my wife the other day that I'd love Worms Rumble, Just Cause 4 and Rocket Arena for Christmas.
She wasn't happy, she told me it's greedy to ask for three such high quality titles and that just one of those games would make it a Christmas to remember forever
This crap is for me punishment for luck to grab Crypt of Necrodancer for free
It's not a bad selection really. The Just Cause games are pretty fun, and I'm willing to give Worms Rumble a fair shake. You never know, it might turn out pretty well.
@Plankton-Warrior I know right
@OmegaStriver entitled? We pay for this service. Stop getting so upset 😂
@oldschool1987 If you aren’t stupid, you can pay 30-40 for this 60 dollar service. I pay for it solely for online gaming. The games are a plus and you get 2-3 a month, that’s 24-36 games a year..........
These games don’t suck but even if they were 5 out of 10 games they easily would be worth 40 dollars.
These people are entitled picky bas**ards.
Just Cause is a series that on paper I should love. It has never clicked for me for some reason.
I'd have been more annoyed that we are getting just cause 4 if I'd actually played it on PlayStation now.
Wow. So much vitriol for "free" games. I figured people would either be happy or indifferent.
It's not terrible. I'll be sure to add Just Cause 4 to my library but don't know when I'll ever get around to it. Still have to finish 13 Sentinels and Crash Bandicoot 4 and just Started AC Valhalla.
They are nothing special.Only Just Cause 4 is a decent one but as I haven't even played the third one yet I highly doubt I'll be playing it within the next couple of years.
Just throw em on the never ending backlog pile.
Great munf for me. Works rumble is a damn good shout.
No interest from me. Already have JC4... it was okay, but not as much fun as 2 and 3. The others I'm just not interested in.
@Old-Red So all any game coming out on Gamepass day one gets the same treatment? The companies are getting paid for this and people without Plus or those that miss it for that month will still have to buy the game. The developer wins on this I don't think Fall Guys would sold much at all without being a PS plus game even though it is slowly dying now.
We can probably all agree there's no reason to ever buy a Just Cause game if you subscribe to Plus.
@OmegaStriver lmao you're so angry and entitled...
@Medic_Alert I know lol! "You WILL enjoy your monthly games. Take them and don't dare criticise a service you pay for".
@OmegaStriver exactly.
there’s also the PS+ Sales/deals which give yet another benefit.
For approx £45 it’s a solid service. Thus month not as good as others but it’s been mostly good sine it reduced to 2, now 3, games.
(Edit: I forgot the PS+ collection as well for PS5)
Might finally give the Just Cause series a go with this one.
No amount of free PS Plus games (good or otherwise) could pull me from Demon's Souls right now...
YOU MUST PRY THE DEMON'S SOULS FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS SIR/MA'AM!!!
Just a total crap lineup. Hopefully January will be better.
@oldschool1987 You sound like you look for handouts.
@themightyant Sony revealed they put 800+ dollars worth of games on Plus, people spend between 30-60 dollars for this service and still cry about it. 1-3 good games a year and online more than recoup your money.
I’ll give Worms a shot, but there is so much else to play right now that I doubt I’ll bother with the other two.
@OmegaStriver Spot on. That's why I have no problem paying for it, especially when I get my 12-month sub during Black Friday deals, where it's about £35. Added another year just last week.
@glassmusic Last month was great! Hollow Knight , Middle Earth and Bugsnax!!
@OmegaStriver no, kid. Worked all my life. You're acting like it's a free service, it's not, it's a subscription.
@marnelljm dont bank on it
@oldschool1987 Im older than your 1987 Mr. Entitlement.
I the one bashing people complaining about the games they are getting yet you call me entitled. What are you on?
Has the poll ever shown people to be happy??
Serious question.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi JC4 is a huge downgrade from 3 in graphics. It looks like a PS2 game
@OmegaStriver I'm going by your attitude. You can only act entitled to things that are free, This is a subscription, you can criticise if you want, especially when you pay for it.
@oldschool1987 You are a special kind of stupid.
Calling me kid and bootlicker is indicative of your mental age and entitlement.
Never once did I say people couldn’t complain.
@Robinsad that's not a very smart comparison, rocket league a brand new concept and fall guys, both new and fun, worms a very old and specific style game being mutated into a tired format of royal rumble live action garbage, if you think it's a great idea then that's your opinion but imagine most sensible people do not, releasing a game practically for free always devalues a game and in the case of a terrible game even more so
I might try Rocket Arena, don't really care at all for anything else.
It's fine I guess. I'll add em all to the library but none look very interesting or worth my time really. Though honestly I've got too much to play atm anyway and the ps plus collection alone is worth the (discounted) price of another year of plus. Not too fussed to be honest
@OmegaStriver you know what's inductive of your mental age and entitlement? Telling people they shouldn't have any negative opinion towards a service they pay for.
@thefourfoldroot tales of berseria is like 8 quid just buy it
@oldschool1987 I never once said no one should, could or can’t complain but you love adding adding a false narrative to the conversation.
Damn. People are so miserable. Starting to get way too toxic around here.
@OmegaStriver nah, you just love attacking and insulting people for having genuine criticisms of a service they pay for. You're overly hostile towards anyone who criticises the monthly games. There's no need for that.
@oldschool1987 Acting like you haven’t tried to offend me in every post........
You are guilty of everything you are accusing me of doing.
@OmegaStriver wait, now you're playing the victim? Lol. Grade A trolling. I'll leave you to it. I can tell you're just one of those trolls that just wants a reaction and will keep going until you get the final response. It's very transparent.
Go ahead and have the final reply that you're so desperate for, I won't read it though. I should have realised you were trolling earlier. That's on me.
Worms is only free for 2 months i believe same for destruction all stars next month they are timed
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I have Just Cause 3 and had Just Cause 4. Just Cause 4 is a massive downgrade to 3
@vapidwolf I know what you mean how cheap can you be. 🤪
And people keep asking for order 1886 FFS its €5 everywhere.
I like that we’ve been getting these new indie titles lately — Fall Guys, Bugsnax, and now Worms Rumble. There’ve been older AAA or AA titles but I rarely get around to trying any of them so this gives me games I’ll actually play.
Considering it's the festive season, it would have been nice if they gave the selection a bit more thought!
Just bought a PS5 and only experienced Spiderman and Horizon out of all of the offerings on PS4 so I'm in my element now. Never even seen a PS4 Pro or One X in the flesh so to see God Of War in 4K is amazing. Can't wait to play through the PS4 catalogue that's on offer on PS5.
@vapidwolf
I’ve got, like, over a dozen games I want to play in my backlog now I have the PS Plus collection, plus Sackboy to get started with. Berseria goes on sale all the time, and tales of zestiria was on PS Now so there is a chance B will come to plus. I’ve made the mistake before of buying games long before I’ll play them only to have them given away free, so forgive me avoiding that same mistake.
@OmegaStriver Guess what, when you pay for smth you are entitled to it. Weird, right?
I am loving my PS5. There are a few things that I do not like though. I don't like there is no theme setting (yet), I do not like the new layout of the Ps Store. That's about it
@EntitledBros He kept adding meaning to things I actually never said. I’m assuming he kept running his mouth but after my last reply I put him on ignore.
No interest, but I don't expect every month to be amazing either. We got Fall Guys and Bugsnax out of PS+ afterall. They can have dud months and I'm ok with it.
@EntitledBros you made another account to troll?
@OmegaStriver we all know its you, you made another account 😂
@oldschool1987
It's all in how you look at the service. I pay 45$ for roughly 24 games per year. That means I spend a bit under 2$ per game. If I don't like a game that much, that's ok because it only cost me 2 bucks, and I get reliable servers unlike on the ps3.
@Sh0gun lol I'm happy with the games, well with Worms. I love Worms games. I'm not complaining about the games. But people are entitled to criticise a service they pay for and that troll was calling everyone who criticised "entitled b*****ds" which isn't fair.
I don't like it when people get insulted for airing their criticisms.
Just cause 4 is just a graphic upgrade as story and content is lacking the open map is empty and you run out of ammo due to tiny ammo reserves and bullet sponge enemies also to upgrade your gear you have challenges to do which is basically the same thing over and over, its just a boring game that does little to improve over Jc3 apart from graphics.
@EntitledBros no one believes you, kid lmao 😂😂😂lol!
The comments just went downhill fast.People were asked for their opinion and they gave it.Simple.
I will add them all to my library. I always do, just in case I ever get into them at a later date. I will probably only bother with Worms though, really.
Compared to last month this is awful.
Here’s the thing...
While I do pay for PSN purely for online gaming...part of that package is the monthly free games...
Which personally I don’t care about...but when you look at your library and it’s full of shovelware or indie games...
Even I have to take notice....
If I wanted to play a game that looks like it belongs on a genesis...I’d buy a genesis mini....
You don’t buy upgraded hardware to play a game that looks like castlevania...this ain’t the 90s
Equally....I don’t pay money to get ***** ass games either....I’m not talking about giving away triple A titles....because no profit would be made there....
But be a bit more flexible on the stuff they do give away....
They gave us goat simulator and farm simulator for god sakes....
Who in the entire f$&@ plays those games....
@thefourfoldroot fair enough but its only 8 quid and besides no tales game has ever been on ps plus,zestira is great as well by the way.
@vapidwolf
Indeed it was, very underrated and great unannounced Now inclusion. I’ll likely pick Berseria up at some point, probably just before it comes to Now.
@Dixon_Sider you made ANOTHER account!? 😂 Damn, I really upset you, didn't I?
I like just cause 4, rocket arena kinda just looks bad and it has a 5/10 on steam so I'm good. Now worms rumble, this is a really good ps+ game. I really like the ideas behind it and other than a few glitches which are annoying I'd say it's a great game definitely give it a try at the least.
Just Cause games are always fun and Worms Rumble is great.
