MODERATORS
My favorite tutorial was in STALKER. The guy gives you a pistol and tells you good luck.
Halo does it that way too
Even in Halo, there’s a bit of a movement tutorial to get to the bridge and get the gun.
STALKER opens with a dialog screen and “hey want to kill some bandits for me?”
Halo makes a point of limiting the enemy and weapons sandbox on the first level, and does have a few explicit tutorial moments, mostly around melee and grenades.
The original Super Mario Brothers' first level is the best tutorial ever made. It teaches you every function of the game right in that first level, without holding your hand or even telling you it's a tutorial.
MegaMan Xis what I think of for the ghost tutorial.
I guess another example of the Portal technique, where the teaching moments are blended into gameplay, is Cocoon. It takes that concept to an extreme.
Can't wait for a sequel/DLC tho.
