Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, Official Game Guide Hardcover – 24 April 2019

I have owned many great game guides over the years but this publication really is the Magnum Opus of strategy guides. From the first moment that you cast your eye over this guide you know that you are in for something special. The artwork is truly phenomenal and the level of detail is second to none. Every single aspect of the game is broken down in 6 meaty chapters covering everything you could ever want to know about the world of Sekiro, starting with the Shinobi School. Characters, items, lore - everything is exhaustively covered.Major spoilers have been put towards the back portion of the guide and have very carefully been put in red boxes to help you avoid ruining some aspects of the game for yourself. Completionists will find a trophy guide in the last chapter entitled "Sensitive Information" but not only that, there are QR codes throughout the book which link directly to videos showing a particular approach or strategy in action which is a great addition for those who may be better served through visual learning. In addition, every strategy is broken down into small chunks with accompanying screenshots for guidance so the support provided is exhaustive.Overall, this is without question the best game guide I have ever owned, everything about it just oozes quality and love. It is a must-have for any Sekiro fan and a beautiful addition to any book collection.If you feel that this review has helped in your decision to buy/or not buy this item, please press the Helpful button.

I love game guides, and Future Press, along with Piggyback, make the best in the business. Their guides for titles like Bloodborne and Dark Souls are almost as important to me as the games themselves - repositories of lore, maps, information, and artwork, as well as a how-to of the games themselves. Their new Sekiro guide is a continuation of their commitment to honouring the excellence of the titles they serve. Sekiro itself is an incredible game, and this guide no less so. It is almost 600 pages of gorgeously presented analysis, data, transcription, lore description, artwork, strategies, maps, armoury breakdowns.... it's never ending, and a pure delight to pore over. Actually, considering the difficulty of the game, it's sometimes more pleasurable to just read the guide in anticipation of what's coming!The people who made this guide should be applauded, as the publishing business for guides has been shrinking for some time. I was disappointed that amazing titles like Marvel's Spider-Man, and even DMC5, didn't get hard copy guides - presumably that's because of the disappearance of Brady Games, who once dominated the market. But Future Press prove that a commitment to quality and a faith in original titles - like Bayonetta and Horizon Zero Dawn, as well as the Souls series - will always find a place in the market. Long may then continue!

This is the ultimate super helpful guide to stand a chance of survival in the ruthless and fierce world of Sekiro. It includes a precise description of skills, items and enemies alongside tips on how to approach the diverse challenges you are likely to encounter throughout the game.Each location is detailed with accurate information displayed on a map that shows locations for enemies, items, and much more!. Bear in mind that some locations might vary slightly as the game received several updates post-release.The quality of the materials employed on the guide is impeccable, it is indeed a collector item that everyone who loves the game should have. It is also highly beneficial for all those completionists that wish to unlock all secrets and get the most out of the game. Yes, I am looking directly at you Platinum Trophy.Don't hesitate and buy it if you love the game. It is an excellent purchase!

This is first guide I bought because I knew from reading reviews for sekiro that it was going to be a difficult game. I was expecting the guide to just tell me how to get through each area and where to pick up items and prosthetic upgrades. I was wrong.This guide gives you an incredible amount of Information, I'm surprised it came out so quickly after the release of the game! Apart from the above it also goes into lore detail about every item and where best to use them. It has great information about each character in the game and the character's history. Each area in the game is re-created in the book as an overhead map which is accurate down to a fault. Every mini-boss & boss has a thorough bio-page with an exact description of the fight itself.Also, this book is extremely well made, the pages shine and each chapter begins with a two page detailed image of a character in the game, its so cool! Definitely recommend this guide to anyone who is a sekiro fan and wants to 100% this game.

I was genuinely astounded at the quality of this book. I've added images of the first two pages,of the cover and one of a random page as I flicked through.It was wrapped in cellophane and delivered with no knocks and bumps and in immaculate condition.I'm a huge Sekiro fan and cheesed my way through the game first time round.Looking through this book there is masses I've missed, it covers the lore, the enemies, NPCs, detailed maps and item descriptions.I don't want to sound like a paid reviewer but I was genuinely surprised by how much book there was for the price.It didn't help with the shimichen warriors or headless but there's no real guide to Git Gud.Just buy it, it looks sick on my book shelf too so when I rage quit at least I can pretend I'm a pro.

Bought this when I was in the middle of my play through wanting to learn more about this world and not having to examine item descriptions word for word. This arrived early and in great condition just as I beat the game so the actual guide portion meant little to nothing in my case (but is still really useful for new/struggling players) but was jam packed with contents I was looking for
