Nier Automata, the entire intro sequence up to the point where you fight the 2 Engels bosses is fantastic.
Bloodborne opening area is goated.
BOTW's great plateau is quite nice
Megaman X's opening scenario is memorable
The opening of Spiderman (2018) is quite good as well
God of War 3's intro with Poseidon is goated

Honestly? Elden Ring's begining areas are great as well, right after you fight Soldier of God, Rick you get called maidenless by a random, and a big dude on a horse murders you. Priceless.

Limgrave is absolutely stunning, but it's so massive that it's hard to classify it as an opening level. You can take as long as 15 hours to beat everything, it even features a huge legacy dungeon
