Fallout 4 Survival Guide Book Review


Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide is a hard cover compilation of a lot of information from the game. It provides little details into the mechanics of the game, but the maps make this whole thing worthy.


The first part of the book is just an overview with minor details of how the game works. Every quest is listed and most have additional information regarding consequences or alternative resolutions. Nothing exceptional and, honestly, you can find better information in the wikia.


The second part is where the real loot is. Maps upon maps of every location in the game! Each primary point (places that get marked in game as a fast-travel location) have detailed maps with loot locations. This, right here, is what is going to allow you to explore and enjoy every single cranny of Fallout 4 world. And you will not find this information anywhere else, much less with equal quality.

You also get a digital version through Prima Games website, unfortunately there is minimal update regarding DLC's. Very unfortunate as those detailed maps would be a great addition for exploring Far Harbor and Nuka-World maps.


One huge problem with this book is how thin its paper is. Through regular handling you will be ripping pages and corners. There are also some minor mistakes here and there, like a loot crate amiss. Overall the book is very well written, sharply printed, with the addition of typical Fallout sense of humor whenever possible. We wish the paper quality would be superior, but it is well worth its price. You can always buy a "safe" copy for your vault.
