Idk, I disagree. I feel like that game isn't at its best till you get to the open hubs. The first times you are in Detroit and hengsha are amazing.Deus Ex: HR's first level is arguably the best one. It has all the multiple routes and goals of any good DX game, but with an additional level of polish and gameplay hooks that the rest of the game either didn't have or didn't implement with as much detail, like:
Getting punished if you screw around for too long before starting the mission.A bomb defusing situation that could be handled multiple ways.Being able to deal with a hostage situation that connects to the bomb situation, with your actions affecting what happens later in the game.
Sure, you have more powers to play with later in the game, but this level had features that the others didn't.
Breath of the Wild - Great Plateu. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a "self taught tutorial" as much as I did in this. But then again, Eventide might give it a run for it's money.
Wolfenstein: The New Order
I would understand that if GZ was specifically mentioned, but if someone just says MGS V and leaves it at that, I'm going to assume they have some kind of fetish with hospital floors.I mean, you could consider Ground Zeroes as the first level of MGSV, lol
Sonic Adventure 2
Its a classic and iconic level for sure, but its very short and doesnt even offer the full Doom sandbox to play withUltimate DOOM.
E1M1.
'Nuff said.
Eventide beats it for sure.Breath of the Wild - Great Plateu. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a "self taught tutorial" as much as I did in this. But then again, Eventide might give it a run for it's money.
Bloodborne
I prefer Facility and the two Bunker levels (especially the second one). Heck, i would put Surface above Dam probably.Goldeneye. The Dam >>> rest of the game combined.
Shadow of the Empire
Goldeneye. The Dam >>> rest of the game combined.
Star Fox Assault
Indigo Prophecy when you have to escape the diner.
Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain
Best not worst.Wolfenstein: The New Order
Bloodborne
I knew there would be mentions of Sonic in this thread but I honestly can't think of a single one where the first level is my favourite(though I haven't played most of the 3D titles). Even in 1 I'd pick Starlight over Green Hill.Only really applies to Sonic 1, CD, and Adventure 2. Maybe Mania, depending on when you ask me.
Off the top of my head:
Sonic 2: Chemical Plant
Sonic 3&K: Flying Battery
Sonic Adventure: Speed Highway
Sonic Advance 2: Music Plant
Sonic Advance 3: Sunset Hill (which, to be fair, is a reimagining of a first level haha)
Sonic Heroes: Egg Fleet
Sonic Rush: Water Palace
Sonic Unleashed: Rooftop Run
Sonic Generations: Modern Seaside Hill / Classic Speed Highway
Demon's Souls 1-1. Not sure if it counts since it's after the tutorial level, but I consider it the "first level".
People listing Bloodborne obviously never found Cainhurst Castle.
Resident Evil 7
The first maybe hour of that game is the best part
Yeah that's another really good one. Without a doubt Earthworm Jim was at its best in that first stage.Earthworm Jim - New Junk City. Basically introduces all of the game mechanics you would need to know with a fun platforming level. Every other level afterwards get progressively more annoying, save for maybe Level 5.
