Buy now or wait until release? Just 100% Hades 1

Recommend picking this game up now or wait until its released? My backlog is real.

Depends on you, I'm really enjoying Hades 2 despite it being in EA.

The game feels really polished, even if incomplete. Bugs are rare.

I was afraid after I tapered off in playing Hades 2 after EA releasethat I'd spoiled it for myself. But then the recent Olympic update came in, and I had a lot of fun playing the new stuff (and also feeling the balance changes, etc.) so I'm not regretting my choice not to wait.

Well, the game is due to release, most likely, by the end of next year.

Right now there's quite a lot of content already but no end content, so a lot of loose ends regarding the story, lots of back and forth regarding the gameplay, weapon balance and so on.

Buying the game now gives you the opportunity to help the game develop, see how it evolves. If this is an important part of the overall experience for you (or you just suffer from FOMO), then you can buy it now. Otherwise I see no reason for you to simply wait.

Or, if you want a happy middle ground, there's another BIG update coming by the start of next year, which will give some more content to play.
Then the game will be around 3/5 complete I guess and you could start from there.

Worth buying now but you should be aware it's still in EA.

I'm waiting for release. It will be complete by then, and I dont want to play until it is finished.

Even though I love Hades 2 and play it multiple times a day when it's completely unnecessary for me to do so, I'd say go for your backlog. H2 is great, but it will be even better if you wait to experience it for the first time in its final form. Your backlog represents wasted money with every day those games remain unplayed.

If you haven't done a full play through of the first game yet, it's well worth it. Zag's story is excellent, voice acting is amazing, soundtrack is just insane.

Then grab Hades 2 afterwards, the plot will feel more cohesive and it'll make sense.

It's in the title that he has just 100%'d the first game 😅

I'd just wait and hit your backlog.

If you even have to ask this question, it doesn't really matter how good and playable Hades 2 is.

You can play it when it's finalized.

Sorry, misread that. Hit up the backlog then, may as well.

No specific date yet, but most likely up to the end of next year.
