Beginner game guides

Learn the first decisions that matter: routes, resources, party roles and preparation. These concise player notes are starting points, not complete walkthroughs.

• Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition guide

  Build a repeatable opening that produces information and options, then adapt when the opponent reveals a plan.

• ARC Raiders guide

  Treat every raid as an information problem: choose a goal, plan an exit, and avoid spending more than the run can reasonably return.

• Baldur's Gate 3 guide

  Build a party that can explore, talk, control a fight, and recover after mistakes.

• BeamNG.drive guide

  Start with one vehicle behavior or scenario, change one variable, and compare the result before adding more complexity.

• Elden Ring guide

  Set up your map, collect core tools, and learn when a hard fight is telling you to explore elsewhere.

• FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH guide

  Use party roles and enemy information to decide who should create pressure, who should exploit it and who keeps the plan stable.

• Garry's Mod guide

  Start with a clear mode or creation goal, then add tools and workshop content only when they serve that experience.

• Helldivers 2 guide

  Pick stratagems for the job, team gaps, and extraction—not a universal damage list.

• League of Legends guide

  Wave control, vision, recall timing, and objective setup are more stable than champion trends.

• Lies of P guide

  Learn one defensive response at a time. Consistency is more useful than forcing a fast clear.

• Marvel Rivals guide

  Choose a hero based on space, survivability, and the team’s next objective.

• MONSTER HUNTER RISE guide

  Use the training area and early hunts to learn a weapon’s movement before optimizing a set.

• Monster Hunter Wilds guide

  A reusable pre-hunt routine for learning a monster rather than brute-forcing it.

• Monster Hunter: World guide

  The hunt starts at preparation. Bring a specific question into each attempt and learn from the answer.

• Once Human guide

  Make a base and resource plan around the next bottleneck instead of collecting every material at once.

• Party Animals guide

  Learn the mode’s objective and the map’s useful spaces before making every interaction a fight.

• PAYDAY 2 guide

  Read the objective, assign useful crew jobs and keep a fallback plan for the moment a quiet approach breaks down.

• PEAK guide

  Climb as a team: call out the next safe position, protect shared resources, and keep enough stamina for mistakes.

• Persona 5 Royal guide

  Balance calendar goals by protecting deadlines first, then use remaining time for relationships, preparation and exploration.

• R.E.P.O. guide

  Agree on what the team is carrying, where the exit is, and when the risk has become larger than the remaining reward.

• Rainbow Six Siege guide

  Learn which walls, sight lines, information tools, and escape routes matter before the round begins.

• Red Dead Redemption 2 guide

  Let the world set the pace. Prepare for the next journey, observe the situation, and keep a clear route back.

• Resident Evil 4 guide

  Pay attention to space, ammunition and routes through an encounter before reaching for a risky solution.

• Rust guide

  Choose safety, information, and sustainable resources before ambitious base plans.

• Satisfactory guide

  Keep inputs, outputs and spare capacity visible. A factory that can be understood is easier to expand than one built too early.

• Schedule I guide

  Keep production, storage and delivery readable. Expanding one bottleneck at a time makes the whole operation easier to manage.

• Slay the Spire 2 guide

  Judge each card by the problem it solves in the current deck, not by a universal tier list.

• Stardew Valley guide

  A relaxed planning guide for crops, tools, friendships, and exploration without rushing a perfect year.

• Stellaris guide

  Choose a clear identity for the empire, then make exploration, research, diplomacy and expansion support that direction.

• Total War: WARHAMMER III guide

  Connect campaign choices to the next battlefield problem instead of optimizing the economy and army as separate systems.

• VALORANT guide

  Improve callouts and utility value by agreeing on the purpose of each round.
