Choosing a video game strategy reference can feel overwhelming when the games themselves are enormous. Do you need a mission-by-mission walkthrough, a system-by-system reference, or a completionist checklist? These four paperback guides take different approaches. Here's how to decide which one belongs on your shelf.
Quick take
If you want a guide that spans a huge game, the Starfield guide and the Skyrim Anniversary Edition guide both spread wide. If you want a deep reference for a story-driven RPG, the Baldur's Gate 3 guide is built differently. The Red Dead Redemption 2 guide takes a more direct approach. The table below shows the prices and coverage at a glance.

This guide is a single-volume tour of Starfield's biggest systems, covering ship building, companions, factions, planets, crafting, and 100% completion tips. It's a good fit for players who want one book that spans the whole game rather than hopping between separate references. The paperback format keeps it portable, but the guide's strength is also its limitation: covering so many systems means each topic gets less room than a dedicated reference might offer. If you're the kind of player who wants a broad overview before diving into a specific system, this is the right companion. If you already know exactly which part of Starfield you need help with, a narrower guide might serve you better.

This is the biggest guide in the group, with 670 pages. It's also the most expensive book here. The guide addresses the branch-and-consequence nature of Baldur's Gate 3, which is exactly what a walkthrough should address when every choice can change the story. If you're playing BG3 and want a physical reference that can keep up with the game's depth, the page count gives it the most room to go deep. The trade-off is the price: it costs more than the other three guides, and that extra investment only makes sense if you're actually going to work through a significant chunk of the game. For casual players, the size alone might feel like more than they need.

This guide packs a step-by-step walkthrough, alchemy, enchanting, smithing, collectibles, secrets, Creation Club content, and Daedric artifacts into a single paperback. That makes it an obvious pick for Skyrim players who want a single volume to support both the main quest and the many side systems. The limitation is its focus: because the guide is built around the Anniversary Edition, someone playing the base game may find some sections unnecessary. It's also a lot of information, so if you prefer a lean, mission-only walkthrough, this might feel cluttered. For most players, though, the combination of broad coverage and a single volume is a strong one.

This guide offers a mission-focused companion for Red Dead Redemption 2. It promises a full walkthrough with tips to dominate every mission and explore the open world. The guide focuses on the overall experience rather than breaking down individual systems, so it works well for players who want to move through the story with confidence. Its limitation is that it's tied to one specific game, and the guide's focus is more on the overall playthrough than on deep mechanical breakdowns. If you're playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and want a straightforward guide, this is a sensible choice. If you're looking for a broad reference across multiple games, the Starfield or Skyrim guides cover more ground.
Final recommendation by use case
If your priority is keeping the spend low, the Skyrim Anniversary Edition guide is the easiest yes. If you're committed to Baldur's Gate 3, the most substantial option here is worth the investment. If you're a Starfield completionist, the Starfield guide gives you one book to cover the whole game. And if you're playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and want a guided path through the story, the Red Dead guide is a sensible companion.
