The most impressive opening sequences in the game world

The Last of Us
​

​

When it comes to the opening sequences, no one can’t help but mention The Last of Us, a work of art by Naughty Dog. It’s difficult to introduce the emotions that the scene brings without spoiling the content, but doing so is no different from a crime when the most quintessential things of The Last of Us are in the game content. In short, this is one of the most moving opening scenes that the game industry has ever had, and at the same time a perfect preparation for the “emotional journey” that The Last of Us brings to players. .

Final Fantasy VII
​

​

Final Fantasy VII was one of the first games to use 3D technology at the time, and the way Square applied it in the game’s opening sequence was truly unforgettable. An epic CGI scene, exciting music, and the first mission that resulted in the bombing of the No. 1 Mako reactor… all became fond memories of fans. Final Fantasy VII Remake is currently in development, and many fans of the game must be waiting every day to once again experience this classic opening sequence.

Borderlands
​

​

Nearly 10 years ago, the first Borderlands game was really a hit and received countless praises from the media and community. That success, in large part, is due to the unique charm of the opening sequence. The cel-shading graphic style, the wonderful song by the group ‘Cage the Elephant’ and the quirky cast of characters… all make the open world on the planet Pandora hard to take your eyes off. It can be said that the opening sequence of Borderlands is a perfect way to introduce players to the game’s crazy and funny world.

Bioshock
​

​

If the beginning of Borderlands is something of a comical madness, there is also a madness in Bioshock, but in a completely different direction. As the lone survivor of a plane crash at sea, you find your way into Rapture – The paradise city under the ocean built by a paranoid guy. Bioshock is not a horror game, but the insidious madness in the first minutes of the game will make you startle and slim with every step. It is that madness that successfully builds the atmosphere of the game, and makes Bioshock a masterpiece that its successor (Bioshock 2) can hardly overcome.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
​

​

The connection between Batman and the Joker is something special that goes beyond both arch-enemies. Using that connection, Rocksteady created a classic opening for his game, allowing the player in the role of Batman to confront the Joker in the first minutes, not just a few pimps. as usual. Batman successfully captures the Joker, and the Prince of Crime is imprisoned in Arkham Asylum. It is from here that the Joker’s premeditated plot begins, and creates both a horror for Gotham as well as the Dark Knight who is always on duty to protect it.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
​

​

In the midst of a forest of 2017’s masterpieces, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild stands out as the best game ever. The game has received countless praises, many of which are dedicated to its unbelievably great opening. In front of a game that brings so many new things like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, many players will probably be overwhelmed and disoriented. But no, thanks to that excellent opening, anyone can enjoy the game in their own way. The opening sequence of Breath of the Wild takes place in The Great Plateau, in fact a tutorial so cleverly designed that no one realizes it’s a tutorial until “graduation”. Players will learn everything needed to travel through the open world of the game from there, and it will certainly be a ‘memory’ that you will never forget.
