What it is

Prima Games eGuides is a web library of official video-game strategy guides. The archive lists 251 guides and 25,589,130 words of strategy, while a redeem-code page says 256 guides are available in full with a free account. Guides include walkthroughs, maps, collectible checklists, and boss tactics, with full-text search across the collection. Without an account, readers can finish three guides and open the first three sections of other guides; a free account opens every guide in full. Guides work on phones, and checklists remember where a reader stopped. Maps and checklists load inside guide pages from cartographer.gamurs.group, so privacy extensions or networks blocking embedded frames can prevent them from appearing. The store is closed, meaning guides cannot be bought or refunded through the site. Old accounts, owned guides, and purchases were migrated, and sign-in can use an old email or a one-time link expiring after 15 minutes. Available guides were published from 2009 through 2018.
