For me it is opening credits sequence in Nier Automata, Shadowlord's castle in Nier Replicant and AI reveal in MGS2. All these three games are masterclass in storytelling.

Would you kindly?

And the realisation that I not only have no choice if I want to progress the plot, but that at no point to now could I have progressed the plot had I not 'kindly' done as requested.

It was such a clever device to put in the story. Innocuous or obvious requests at first until it reached a point where you are forced to kill a guy. Or stop playing. It's the most original and mind-blowing concept I've seen put into a game. I still think of it whenever someone asks me to 'kindly' do something.

(In case anyone doesn't know, though I probably just spoiled one of its biggest moments if you don't)
