How long does it take to finish Hades 2?

If you plan on doing 100% completion, starting from unlocking all weapons, boons, side missions, story variations, and achievements, be ready to invest between 65 and 85+ hours. That’s a considerable chunk of time, so plan your sessions accordingly.

For players who enjoy exploring every nook and cranny, completing side missions alongside the main story can stretch your playtime to about 35 hours initially.

Hades II, like its predecessor, is layered with secrets, character interactions, and optional content that can easily double your engagement if you’re methodical. In Hades 1, players who pushed for total completion took 90 to 100+ hours.

The pattern seems to carry over, with Hades 2 promising even more complexity and depth.

Main story

The story of Hades II revolves around Melinoe, raised by Hecati as she makes her way through the underworld to defeat Kronos and reclaim the House of Hades. Although the story itself is interesting and enjoyable with dialogue and encounters, the gameplay loop naturally facilitates the re-experiencing of runs for different Boons, weapons, and Omega attacks.

Every run teaches you how the enemies will engage with you and when to take advantage of Melinoe's skills, so although everything is somewhat linear, each trip through the runs feels different.
