Prey, released in 2017 by Arkane Studios, features one of the best openings I've ever played - even when compared to titles with very highly regarded introductions such as BioShock and The Last Of Us.

It stands apart from almost any other, using great level design and fantastic writing to not only teach players about its world and themes from an early stage, but to throw in a shocking twist few would have seen coming.

Subverting expectations, it turns Prey's opening minutes into a teachable moment, encouraging players to pay greater attention to the little details while also clearly demonstrating to them that they need to be as observant as possible from the moment the game begins.
