Honestly, I like the month. They're good "Space fillers" for people who don't have them, it's a nice variety of games, and the star of the month offers multi-player that should be enjoyable.
There's a lot of "I might not buy it, but I'd love to give it a shot!" within this month's selection, so a perfect compliment to the months where EVERYONE is buying the games they WANT to play otherwise.
I really like getting new indies on XBL. They're normally much more straight-forward games, and less Artsy "experiences" like Sony's choices, and they're games I'd love to try, but wouldn't be my first to buy.
Already had Blood Dragon due to PS+. But I much prefer it on XB1 BC instead, so works out there, too.
