Between Super Mario Odyssey, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and Assassin's Creed: Origins, it's one of the biggest weeks for video games in a long time. What connects all three of them is that once you start a new game, they have to introduce themselves. We use the powerfully dark introduction from Wolfenstein II, the botched beginning to Assassin's Creed: Origins, and the trope-y introduction from Super Mario Odyssey as a launching pad for a larger discussion about each game, and what it means to design a video game's first impression.You can subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher.
