Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Piggyback started in 1999 with the 148-page guide to Metal Gear Solid. Twenty-four years later, we find ourselves releasing the 500-page official guide to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in five languages and across four continents. In that 24-year period, we selected one game every year or so and invested all of our resources into creating its exclusive, complete official guide. We have the industry’s largest guide development team, composed of authors, designers, translators, map, screenshot and functionality editors.

Each new Piggyback project presents opportunities for innovation; be those chapter concepts, gameplay flowcharts, imaging technologies, data tables, no-spoiler solutions, instant-search tools, custom layouts, enhanced production values and new editions (collector’s, deluxe, expanded, and digital). Through close collaboration with the game company, each of our books becomes a tangible display of everything in the game, a collector’s item that serves as a companion which showcases the gameplay, creativity, and vision of the team.

A flashy alternative to a detailed guide
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2013

I have already heard numerous reports as to how detailed this guide is, and after looking through it, I can already tell those reports are true.

The guide is engineered to help players complete the game on all difficulties from Normal to Revengeance with S ranking in all levels. And of course it comes with the other essentials (collectibles, secrets, weapon and enemy statistics, trophies/achievements, etc.) There's also a section near the end for VR missions. All in all, it is a complete guide packed with all the good detail.

Being a collector's edition guide, it of course has some collector's edition flare. Flashy hardcover, snazzy art, and an exclusive character gallery make this a must own for those who enjoy Metal Gear and its unique art design.

If I had any gripes about this guide, it's that I'm used to strategy guide pages being full color. What I mean by that is that this guide is full color, but there are plenty of white spaces on the pages. This is no problem though, just a personal opinion.

This is a great guide, both for game completion and for your Metal Gear collection.

I don't use strategy guides, but I collect pretty much anything "Metal Gear" related so I bought this without hesitation. I read through it after beating the game on hard, and it's got a lot of helpful information. From strategies on how to S rank battles based on difficulty settings, to listing the locations of collectable items. It also tells you the requirements for every trophy/achievements and does the same for the titles. The pages that go in depth on the Enemies and weapons and attacks, as well as listing out the differences between each difficulty mode are great as well.

There's also a cool art gallery in the back that has concept and design art for the bosses, as well as one for the different types of cyborg enemies. The lithograph is really nice as well, and the guide itself is pretty high quality.

Lush, informative, and written in a confidence that would WILL play this great game 5 times or more, this book, this exact edition, is well worth the price, up and over the non-collector's edition.

For a game you'll most likely never trade in, and play in the future, it's quite essential, and beautiful.

I have, and apparently always will love the Metal Gear Series, and the new game is wonderful; this edition compliments it perfectly.

Also, I'm not sure if the details tell you it's a hardbound edition, but it is, and I should not it is bound well, and hasn't creased, cracked, or fallen apart as some hard-bounds do. Well made!

With This Guide, You Will Become Lighting Itself, The Rain Transformed

The only thing better than this guide is the game itself.

Detailed analysis of every level, weapon, enemy type and boss for all difficulties, ranging from the obvious maps and item locations to the minute changes in gameplay properties between difficulties. Any and everything you could ever want to know about how this game is meant to be played and how it works is detailed in this sturdy, hardback book that's as much a collectible as it is a textbook meant to be used and paged through over and over again. It also includes a small(very small)Yoji Shinkawa illustration printed on card stock(...bristol?), numbered for the collectors among you.

This edition also includes a(spoiler-filled)making-of section featuring sketches and notes from the creators of the game.

This is what every strategy guide publisher should aspire to. This is what you get from Piggyback with this book.

Great guide at a good price!
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2013

I don't buy many guides unless I just want to collect them for games I REALLY like.

I actually bought this one for the tips (although it is a nice guide to collect). I'm not much of this type of action gamer. Typically the only actions games I play are FPS. I'm more of an RPG man.

I think the guide is great! It gives really useful tips on how to play the game without spoiling the story. I really couldn't get far until I read the tips on combat. A lot of this stuff should have been included in the manual but isn't. Although the VR missions can teach you some of the stuff.

Great guide IMHO.

Dieses Buch war ein Geschenk! Es ist in einem wunderbaren Zustand angekommen und der Beschenkte hat sich riesig darüber gefreut! Die Sendung hat zwar etwas länger gedauert als versprochen, aber deshalb gebe ich keinen Punkteabzug, da die Ware aus den USA kam und der Verkäufer die Dauer der Lieferung nicht beeinflussen konnte. Der Verkäufer war aber sehr hilfsbereit und nett und aus diesem Grund gibts wohlverdiente 5 Sterne!

Guida eccellente
Reviewed in Italy on August 11, 2013

La guida fornisce una miniera di informazioni, walkthrough, strategie e consigli sul gioco.
I contenuti sono organizzati in maniera eccellente, al punto che la consultazione risulta molto piacevole e all'occorrenza rapida.
L'estetica è molto pulita e minimale, con numerose immagini a corredo.
Forse l'unico piccolo neo è il poco spazio riservato ai personaggi e alla trama, anche se tutto sommato si tratta pur sempre di un gioco di azione, quindi è giusto che le meccaniche di gioco ricevano maggiore attenzione.
Consigliatissima a chi vuole approfondire uno degli action game più originali e profondi degli ultimi anni.
