Nice new book smell & AWESOME controller skin
Only complaint about book is no index. Controller skin is of good quality. 8hrs of use, will see how long the stickers on the buttons last.*wipe down controller beforehand to get extra hand grease off. Also application of sticker is annoying but worth it when everything aligns correctly.**Update** Stickers on the buttons are still on and show no sign of coming off. AWESOME!! Its been 2months now***DEC Update*** With med to heavy use weekly the skin still looks like new! In love!! The book is also still very nice with this type of cover used - grippy, smooth, velvet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it is amazing; but it is not worth £149

I understand it’s nearly impossible to get this book anywhere, and I also understand that they don’t make these anymore; but the price is ridiculous lol! £149?! Holy hell mate! I bought it when it first came out and I just wanted to see if the price had gone up for a second copy and bloody hell!!! No way am I picking up a second copy lol! No doubt they are just going to become more and more expensive with time.

Edit: FANTASTIC guide, premium feel to pages, and care of content.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful guide to an even more beautiful game.
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2018

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.

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 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.

If you are getting GOW & want to get all in the game, looking for strategies & all then this one is definitely be considered for your choice ! I like physical books since it is hard copy and I have something for reference that can be there without internet is cool. Although yes, some info does changes since game gets updates and all. So do keep that in mind but the book is solid !!
