Video game openings help set the stage for the game itself. What are your favorite video game openings? Could be the title screen, or the first bit in-game before the play starts. Could be that you like the music, or that they have a clever twist, or that they're technically impressive. Bonus points if you can link to a PeerTube or YouTube clip of them to let other people here who haven't yet seen them watch them!

Homeworld.

Beautiful, moving, elegant.

A story, a tutorial, a punch in the gut

Love it.

My pick as well.

It starts off with such hope, the promise of new beginnings. Then the the initial sense that something is wrong.

Hurry back and the adagio swells as you realize the emensity of the tragedy. Then the desperate attempt to save as much of what's left as you can before fleeing.

I agree, it's a very special game.

What does it for me is the quality of the voice acting. The way I can hear their voice almost but not quite breaking in the sorrow. Superb
