8 Recent Video Game Openings That Blew You Away

Persona games don’t often have memorable openings.

All games leading up to this one feature long and convoluted exposition-heavy sequences that are more boring than anything else. Persona 5 has this same problem. But before you reach this long segment you get one of the coolest openings to any game: the casino heist.

You might not have the greatest idea of what’s happening; nor are you familiar with the context of the game. But what the casino heist does is give you a shot of adrenaline as you parkour through the ceiling; Life Will Change blaring in the background as you sneakily take down guards and get used to the turn-based combat.

You get an idea as to who the characters are, and even who you’re playing is with the use of the out-of-context yet meaningful dialogue. And the whole thing ends dramatically and unexpectedly as Joker is captured and sent for interrogation. Putting into motion the events of the rest of the game.
