There’s no rule that says games have to be at their very best instantly out the gate – after all, some of the most incredible games you’ll ever play take their sweet time to really get going – but you can’t say it’s not a bonus. There’s something special about experiences that grab your attention as soon as they kick off, those that take no time in showing just what their highest highs can look like. Here are fifteen such games.
MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN
The moment you start swinging around New York City in Marvel’s Spider-Man, the game instantly has a hold on you. Luckily enough, that moment is mere minutes (if not seconds) into the game. From the physics-based swinging to the quick and zippy combat, from the game’s take on the Spider-Man universe to opening with an excellent boss fight against Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin- Marvel’s Spider-Man works overtime to make sure it puts its best foot forward right off the bat.
