Agreed. Naughty Dog pull you into their stories so quickly. The same thing happened with The Last of Us, within 40 minutes you are invested in the characters and story. They're very talented.

Another example that comes to mind is Bioshock. Travelling down into the ocean depths, the moment Rapture first comes into view was really special and well done.
