Here's a list of some things you need to experience, some things that'd be nice to experience, some things you should avoid experiencing at all costs, and a few things I have yet to experience (but which are meant to be good all the same). In no particular order: BEST STUFF The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt   A marvel of video game design that marries an engrossing story to some truly excellent gameplay. Geralt's final chapter works well as a standalone and a capstone, and is definitely worthy of play. Star Wars: The Force Awakens It. Was. Excellent. Let us all rejoice that Abrams gave us a retro, swashbuckling tale of heart and humour in a galaxy far, far away.
