Are you debating how much of Hades 1 to play before immersing yourself in Hades 2? The community weighs in on Reddit.

Summary

  • Completing Hades 1 before Hades 2 depends on your personal preferences and playstyle.
  • Hades 2 is standalone but offers additional context if you finish the first game.
  • Players recommend exploring the relationships and heat system in Hades 1 but not mandatory for enjoying Hades 2.

Honestly if you already got the apology and are only missing a few relationships, I would just grind those out and head on to Hades 2. The heat system is interesting but not necessary for the story I don’t believe. Bear in mind that Hades 2 isn’t complete so it might be worth going the extra mile until Hades 2 gets closer towards being done.

Not at all. Go for it jump on in to Hades 2.

Oh uh yeah I was gonna recommend doing at least the 10 clears to “finish” the story and maybe do the epilogue, but you’ve done that so yeah jump right in. Definitely should still play more 1 now and again, it’s fun pushing heat levels.
