15 Best Intros in Video Games

NieR: Automata

PlatinumGames’ intros are as over-the-top as they are action-packed. NieR: Automata, to its credit, transitioned between its introductory sections naturally, going from a shoot ’em up to hack and slash battles and 3D exploration to side-scrolling combat without losing a beat. Even the first proper boss fight is one of the best in the game. But most significant is just how many little winks and nudges are present, hinting at the soul-crushing events to come.
