Buy Before Try?

[TheCopyUniverse]

I have already decided that I will be playing this game, but not until it's out for 1.0! However, should I purchase the game now, or wait for either a possible discount or the full release? I'd appreciate any related feedback and reasoning behind it.

[dragonwadust]

personally im fully content with playing it now but id recommend waiting for the full release. theres a part of the late game that isn't fully accessible yet. other than that i feel that this is a solid successor to the first game.

it will have a price increase on v1 like all early access games

The price will likely increase come full release. This game has just entered EA, so you're gonna be waiting awhile. If you decided you're gonna be playing this game, then what is the problem to buying it at this price and just waiting till 1.0, if this is the thing for you? You might get it cheaper on grey sites ofc, but they are what they are.

The price may increase, and it certainly won't decrease before launch.

$30 gets you the game today.
$30–45 gets you the game at launch.
$25–35 gets you the game a year after launch.

For instance? Almost every single Early Access game has a price increase on launch... (I do not know if Hades 2 will though)

Thank you ALL for your insight regarding my question. I'll be buying the game now, and waiting until the full release before playing it properly. Until then, I shall continue my attempts to escape the underworld as Zagreus! Catch you all in Tartarus! XD

Here, have a recent example: V Rising Price history · SteamDB[steamdb.info]

Back to the topic, I was also wondering the same thing. I have little interest in playing the game right now as I fear I won't be hyped once it comes out in its entirety, but I also know that I want to play it at one point and some of the recent price increases I've seen on games leaving EA have been quite steep.

Argument Against buying -> the game is extremely successful so the developers do not need your help early.
Argument For buying -> the game is extremely successful so your investment is more than likely safe.
Up to you.
