Beautiful guide to an even more beautiful game.

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

First off, this game does not need a strategy guide. While it has great puzzles that can take time to figure out, I highly recommend playing without one.

Now I know what you're saying, why in the FK would you buy a guide then? Well, it does list great places to farm, as well as detailed map information. Despite that, the real reason is, it's simply a great collectors piece. It's filled with beautiful artwork, and is of great quality. As someone who tries to collect as many guides to my favorite games as possible, I'm very happy.

I love the GoW series but the new entry has added massive layers of complexity. You can play without engaging with them directly; but I broke down and purchased this in the hopes of adding a dimension to my gameplay and enjoyment thereof. I have not been disappointed. It's pretty exhaustive. You could easily spend a couple hours reading before you even pick up a controller; but if you just read the paragraphs and skim the tables you'll still be well-positioned for a nice gameplay experience.

Very nice book

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

It arrived on time however the packaging was completely destroyed. The book itself had no damage to it. I gave it 5 stars because I feel like the issue with a packaging was from how USPS handled it. The book itself is gorgeous, it also comes with a free digital version of it which is pretty handy. I see people on here complaining about the quality of the controller skin but I applied 3/4 of it to my own controller and if used it for 20-plus hours now with it on there and have no issues with peeling or fading. On top of looking really good the content is also on point. If you're a fan of the game it's definitely worth the purchase

Great Guide, Great Quality

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

Content: I used this guide to play through the entire game and it was very helpful, informative and made it easy to locate what I needed. The information is laid out in a systematic and standardized manner. The advice that is given regarding how to approach playing such a massive game was spot on.

As for the quality of the book (materials, printing, etc.) Great paper quality and printing process, while some of the images are a bit small to be helpful. The cover is beautifully designed and the book binding is tight and firm.

I wanted a collectors edition of the game, but it was just too expensive for me at the time. Being such an epic game, I wanted something to collect for it. So glad I decided on this guide. It brilliantly done from the cover to the art, to the guide itself. Recommended for the collector of God of war.

Great artwork, great guides and hints

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is packed full of helpful information, and the artwork is phenomenal. My only complaint is the way the book is organized. There is no index, and there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to how the book is laid out. So if you're looking for something specific, you're going to spend a lot of time flipping back and forth, trying to find what you're looking for. All of the information is in there, if you can find it.

Main story walkthrough is ok. Side quests and a table of contents/index to find them were an afterthought. No collectable list. Most side quests barely get a couple of paragraphs.

A simplistic masterpiece

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

So, this book is 110% what you'd expect and more, and oh my, it's worth a buy and a read even if you're not keen on God of War.

Firstly, from the first page to the last page you're given a sense of quality, a sense that some brilliant minds went into this. Both the front and back have every single signature of the wonderful team behind the game, and if I say so myself, they created one of the most fluid and dynamic games of this current generation.

Anyway, onto the book. It's amazing. Every little detail, every single secret, tricks, trivia, everything is laid out neatly and easily to read. The controller cover was a nice touch as well, was very easy to apply and goes great with either a black or white controller.

All in all, extremely satisfied with this book. If you've bought it, then obviously for the reason you're buying it, you won't be disappointed in the slightest. If you're buying it just for a read, you still won't be disappointed!

Cheers!

Average Walthrough Strategy Guide

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

It's a very average strategy guide that doesn't achieve it's purpose entirely. It's a basic walkthrough that could be organised a lot better for easy access. I got it to complete the game 100% but this game doesn't even provide that and states that within the book. And if you were looking for anything specific, be prepared to scour the book for a while by going through each step by step guide on how to complete a level, as it's not laid out very clearly.

There are some separate categories for artefacts and eyes of odin but not all even shows on the map so you have to guess from the picture. There are not any guides on the hidden object of importance on each area, nor is there some of the cool extras you'd expect like a bestiary.

All in all, this book is just an attempt at a 'tick all the boxes' of a strategy guide without striving to be anything special, and it still manages to miss out some of the boxes.

A Beautiful Collectors Guide

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2018

I love this collectors edition guide, the feeling of the cover is smooth and royal.. and I love the God of War controller skin that’s included with this guide. Maps and attention to detail is wonderful. And the guide has been signed by all of the team that made God of War. Great additional for any fan of this series!

Great guide really helpful for opening those chests and other puzzles.

I would have preferred to know where the crows are as I went but I understand why that is a separate part.

Recommended.
