Choosing a video game strategy reference usually comes down to two questions: which game are you trying to get further in, and how much do you want to spend? The four guides below cover a Horizon Forbidden West guide, a Final Fantasy III NDS guide, a Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories guide, and a Silent Hill PS1 guide. Their listed prices span from an entry-level price to a higher-end price.
Quick take
If the lowest listed price matters, the Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories guide is the entry point. If you want an official Square Enix guide, the Final Fantasy III NDS Bradygames book is at the top of the listed range. The Horizon Forbidden West guide is a mid-range option, and the Silent Hill guide is the only unofficial title in this set.

Product notes
Horizon Forbidden West Official Strategy Guide
At USD 30.54, this guide sits in the middle of the listed range. It is listed in Like New condition, which matches the condition listed for the Final Fantasy III guide. The ISBN is 9783869931135, the type is Strategy Guide, and the brand is Sony Interactive Entertainment. If you want a guide that directly matches the Horizon Forbidden West title, this is the best fit in the comparison. The trade-off is cost: it is not the least expensive option here, so you are paying for a like-new official guide rather than an entry price.
Final Fantasy III NDS Bradygames Official Strategy Guide
This is the highest listed price in the group at USD 38.00. What you get for that price is a Square Enix guide in Like New condition with a glossy finish and United States origin in the listed details. The title names the game and platform directly, so there is no guesswork about which version this belongs to. The obvious limitation is the price itself: if you want to spend less, the Kingdom Hearts guide has a lower listed price. So it is the choice for someone who wants a like-new Square Enix guide and is comfortable at the top of the range.
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Official Strategy Guide Game Boy Advance Poster
At USD 15.99, this is the lowest listed price in the comparison. It includes a fold-out poster, a complete walkthrough, and a Trade Paperback format. The authors are Greg Sepelak and Beth Hollinger, and the era is listed as 2000s, which places it in that decade. The condition is Very Good, not Like New, so it does not share the like-new condition tag of the Horizon and Final Fantasy III guides. If you want to spend the least and are comfortable with Very Good condition, this guide offers the most direct low-priced match.
Silent Hill - Strategy Guide - BradyGames - PS1 Unofficial Maps Walkthrough
Listed at USD 30.00, this guide is priced close to the Horizon guide and below the Final Fantasy III guide. The title is explicit about what it covers: an unofficial PS1 guide with maps and walkthrough content. It is by BradyGames Staff, and the listed format is Trade Paperback. The trade-off is condition: this is the only guide in the group listed as Acceptable, so it is suited to someone focused on the Silent Hill content rather than a pristine copy. For a PS1 Silent Hill guide with maps, this is the specific match in this set.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose the Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories guide if you want the lowest listed price. Choose the Final Fantasy III NDS Bradygames guide if you want an official guide and are comfortable with the highest listed price. Choose the Horizon Forbidden West guide if you want an official guide for that specific game. Choose the Silent Hill guide if you need an unofficial PS1-specific book.
