So as the title implies, here are the best five video game prologues of all time.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Geralt’s misadventures are always ones for the books.

His body is full of scars and is weak from the intense torture he is put through.

Vernon Roache walks in and offers to shake your hand.

You have the option of taking it or dismissing the shake.

Vernon interrogates your character on the events that led to King Foltests’s death.

Vernon soon learns that Geralt helped the king’s children safely evacuate the forest.

CD Projekt Red really did a number with this one.

If you’re an enthusiast of long prologues, this is worth checking out.

The opening starts with a scene in an aircraft where you’ll be alongside fellow soldiers.

Soon enough, an enemy invades the plane and starts killing off the soldiers.

At this point, you learn how to fly the aircraft and ward off incoming enemies.

The prologue breaks into a heavy combat action where you must destroy incoming ships and the energy orbs.

You are immediately thwarted on the battlefield as a reminder to expect nothing less when playing the game.

Vagrant Story

Vagrant Storyis a much less acclaimed RPG owing to its late debut on the Playstation console.

You’ll also engage in combat with two soldiers, which is not a hard feat.

A cutscene then reveals the game’s starting chapter, Colter.
