Your ideal SH playthrough order

General Discussion

I'm admittedly very late to the party, having only played SHf and SH1 as a kid too young to appreciate any of the nuances. I have seen that SH2 is highly regarded as the goat SH experience and that OG should be played before the remake.

There are plenty of lists online on order of play for story or best gaming experience and I have a general idea of how the stories develop over the many instalments, but I really want to know what the fans consider to be the best way someone coming into the franchise in 2025/6 can enjoy it to its fullest.

I hardly ever platinum a game but I am almost done finishing off my fifth SHf playthrough to get that shiny trophy just out of pure respect for the game's environment, music and story reveals, and I am really look forward to enjoying SH2 at some point and Townfall this year.

Cheers!
