The initial impact a game makes significantly impacts its overall success, and often, the early stages of development are left until last for good reason. Many players make up their minds about continuing to play within the opening chapter of a game’s story, but the first half hour is particularly crucial. Most memorable openings avoid excessive exposition and instead dive straight into an engaging hook. Some games choose a more streamlined approach, allowing players to immerse themselves in the setting and world-building first. Here are fifteen games that will captivate you within the first 30 minutes.
Mass Effect 2
In my gaming experience, the debut of Mass Effect 2 is as tense as most other games’ conclusions. Stepping back into the boots of Commander Shepard, I found myself hobbling through the wreckage of a hauntingly familiar setting – the Normandy spacecraft from the previous game. The storyline then takes a drastic turn, dismantling all the progress made in the first installment. To make matters worse, Shepard must team up with the enigmatic organization, Cerberus, to retrieve what was lost and confront the ominous Reaper threat. Mass Effect 2 plays out like The Empire Strikes Back of video games, with the risks escalated significantly and the situation looking grim.
