Choosing a printed video game strategy guide comes down to matching the guide to the game you are actually playing and the condition you are willing to accept. This set of four options includes two Assassin's Creed Rogue guides, one Assassin's Creed Valhalla guide, and one Hogwarts Legacy guide. The listed prices start at $5.90 and go up to $18.89, so the main trade-off is clear: a Brand New copy of the Rogue guide costs the most, while a used companion for Hogwarts Legacy costs the least. Your choice mostly depends on whether the guide is for the game you own, how much condition matters to you, and what you want to spend.
Quick Take
The Hogwarts Legacy guide has the lowest listed price at $5.90, while the Assassin's Creed Rogue Prima guide is the only Brand New option at $18.89. The two middle-priced guides cover Assassin's Creed Rogue for PS3/Xbox 360 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, with condition levels of Good and Acceptable respectively. If you're weighing condition, keep in mind that the Good and Acceptable listings are used copies, while the Brand New listing is not.

Product Notes
Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima Paperback
If you want a copy that hasn't been handled, this is the only Brand New guide in this group. The listing calls it a Prima Games strategy guide for Assassin's Creed Rogue, and the condition is Brand New, which is a clear advantage if you dislike underlining or creased pages. The trade-off is the $18.89 listed price, the highest among the four. You're paying for the Brand New condition and the Prima branding. For someone who wants a reference for Rogue and prefers a Brand New copy, this is the straightforward pick, as long as the extra cost is comfortable.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima PS3 Xbox 360 Walkthrough Book
This edition matches Assassin's Creed Rogue on PS3 and Xbox 360, according to the title. It's listed as a trade paperback in Good condition, with the author credited as Prima Games Staff and the book title Assassin's Creed Rogue: Prima Official Game Guide. The price is $12.84, which sits near the middle of this group. One reason to choose it is the platform-specific focus for PS3 and Xbox 360; one limitation is that Good condition means you may see signs of prior use, though it remains a complete walkthrough book. If you're playing Rogue on one of those consoles, this is a sensible target.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla Game Guide Strategy Walkthrough Tips Book
This is the guide to grab if your game is Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The title clearly identifies Valhalla, and the listing describes it as a strategy walkthrough tips book. At $12.99, it's close to the Rogue PS3/Xbox 360 guide in price. The condition is listed as Acceptable, which is the roughest of the four, and the description warns of possible wear, markings, and structural looseness. The reason to choose it is the Valhalla-specific content; the limitation is that you need to be comfortable with a heavily used book. If Valhalla is your current game and the acceptable condition doesn't bother you, this is the only guide of the four aimed at that title.
Hogwarts Legacy: The Official Game Guide - Paperback By Davies, Paul - GOOD
For Hogwarts Legacy players, this official game guide is the least expensive pick in the group at $5.90. The description says the item is in Good condition and may contain highlighting or writing on the text, so it's not a Brand New copy, but it is a trade paperback edition of the official companion book, credited to Paul Davies and Kate Lewis. The reason to choose it is the combination of the Hogwarts Legacy focus and the low listed price. The limitation is the used state: you could find pen marks or underlined passages. For a guide you'll reference while playing, that is often acceptable, especially at this price.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- If you want a Brand New copy of the Rogue guide, choose the Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima Paperback. It's the only Brand New listing in this group and the most expensive, so be ready for the higher listed price.
- If you're playing Rogue on PS3 or Xbox 360, the Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima PS3 Xbox 360 Walkthrough Book matches those platforms and offers an illustrated walkthrough in Good condition.
- If your game is Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the Assassin's Creed Valhalla Game Guide is the only Valhalla-specific guide here, and it carries the lowest condition rating of Acceptable.
- If you're playing Hogwarts Legacy and want the official companion at the lowest listed price, the Hogwarts Legacy Guide is a good match despite possible highlighting or writing from previous use.
Before you decide, think about how you plan to use the guide. A Brand New copy is nice for display, but a used guide with marks is still functional for tricky missions and collectibles. Match the game first, then let condition and listed price break the tie. No matter which listed guide you pick, the right fit depends on the game you own and how much condition bothers you.
