Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, Official Game Guide

This book is standard setting! A wealth of insider information only attained by having passionate, knowledgeable gamers and writers who aren't afraid to experiment, and a strong relationship with the developer which this book clearly has.It has excellent breakdowns for enemies and bosses, which takes a lot of the guess work and "Why did they do that?" moments. The moves are broken down thoroughly and explained in a way that is both easy to follow and informative. It makes me excited to go back into the game with the knowledge I have now!I learned a ton of things that the game doesn't explain itself, and the various tables covering statuses, experience, difficulty modifiers, etc are extremely helpful! It helps improve your play style, while encouraging you to experiment more with moves or tools you haven't been using due to the thorough explanations of how they work and where they benefit most. In games like this, you typically find what you think works best and stick with it. This book will make you a much more well rounded player who is comfortable with every situation.Area maps and the guide for them flow really well, and are explained in a way that is easy to follow so you don't miss anything and know what to expect around every corner.My only issue with the book is some of the pictures are very dark, and the QR video codes. For the pictures, I would imagine this was on the printer, not the guide editors so I can't take any stars away from what is otherwise a perfect companion to Sekiro. As far as the videos go, I think it's a great idea but I much prefer to watch videos on my PC, and it's a bit excessive to scan a QR code then punch that address into my PC browser from my phone. The videos themselves are very high quality, the video encoding and gameplay are standard setting! If only these videos were available at the launch of the game...You won't find surface level, cheap tactics here. This is a book for those who want nuance and explanations from people who are obviously experts at the game and aren't afraid to experiment. This comes from a level of understanding that is very rare, and explains the delayed release to ensure that the level of detail was up to the FuturePress standard. It's rare a printed strategy guide goes into this level of depth and for a complex game like Sekiro, it takes the mystery out of the systems a FROM game employs and makes me excited to play more of it.All in all an amazing book and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about Sekiro, or for someone who collects quality strategy guides. It's premium feeling from start to finish and no details were spared! This is the definition of the FuturePress difference and why they are regarded as the best in the business.

Excellent, well-crafted, beautiful guide with all the information you need, arranged and displayed beautifully. Never thought I would ever collect strategy guides, but Future Press is always good. A great guide that feels more like a collectible official art book.

To be honest the books is a tremendous help when I’m stuck on a level or I don’t know how to advance I read this helpfulGuide book to point out what I miss soFar on one level I’m keep at it till I beat this game but this books helps a lot

If you have never had a Future Press guide before, then pick this one up (provided you like Sekiro, of course) and see what all the raves are about. Beautiful artwork, clear and easy organization, and it even has tons of spoiler alerts and a separate section for lore if you don't want any story beats uncovered. The physical quality of the guide is definitely high grade with thick paper stock and good binding. One new addition to this guide over previous FP works is the addition of QR scans at the beginning of each of the sub boss and boss strategy leading right to a YouTube video with the authors showing you the strategy they are talking about in the book. Even if you ignore these, the tips in the guide are more than sufficient to get you through but the videos are incredibly helpful to people like me who do better seeing it in action. And if you don't need any help at all but just really love the game, then the guide is a great addition to your collection. Even just the artwork alone makes FP perfect for your coffee table.

This pre-ordered book arrived late. Initially, a source of unhappiness until I discovered there were some updates in line with game updates which keeps this work aligned to the Patch 1.04 Release. There is exceptional detail about every encounter, location and aid to conquering the immensely detailed story. Beautiful illustrations compliment thousands of explanations covering every single aspect of the game. There were many things I was reading well before anybody published similar information elsewhere. Your thirst for knowledge as it pertains to any game element should be quenched but might just as easily leave you feeling that you are drinking from a fire hydrant. This is a densely packed heavy book that supports the branding of Genius to the game creators and developers and various nominations for industry Awards culminating in the highly prestigious win of The Game Awards 2019 - Game of the Year.This is easily the best Game Guide I have in an extensive collection and the perfect companion for any devotee of Sekiro.

This book exceeded my expectations even after reading all the awesome reviews.Delivery was super quick, Item was sealed in a perfect condition 0 i read a couple of bad reviews on the packaging, seems that amazon listens! mine came in bubble wrapping inside the box to protect it, was a delight to get it in a perfect condition.I bought this guide after I fell in love with Sekrio, I already got my platinum on ps4 and finished my NG+4 already. But man this guide is awesome, the print quality, the details, huge kudos for the dudes at future press who worked on this guide.A must have collerctors' item for any one who loves this game!

Pretty good, the pages are still intact but the corners were a bit worn-off. Also the book spine was quite a bit loose. Other than that I am quite pleased.
