8 Recent Video Game Openings That Blew You Away

2. Spider-Man: Miles Morales

The first Spider-Man PS4 game was instantly held by critics as one of the greatest comic book games of all time. Part of that reason is because of the beginning. Showing you the mechanics of the game all while giving you a cinematic takeover sequence where you defeat the Kingpin himself: Wilson Fisk.

But it’s the spinoff that takes the spot for this list.

Unlike in the first game, here you play as a much more inexperienced Miles Morales. And viewing the world from the eyes of an underdog changes things a lot. You can feel the switch in style from Peter to Miles in not only the combat but the story as well. Making it very clear that these are two different Spider-Men and not just the same character with a different coat of paint.

You then have the chase sequence with The Rhino. Taking you across all of New York during the holidays and ending with one final battle where Miles attains his powers of Venom.
