No wiki or extensive guides?
I have methods I use to consider if a game is worth trying out. One of them is if the game has a decent wiki and/or a lot of guides. I find that games that are very good, people will document everything in it. Info about this game is very lacking on the internet. Every now and again I'll check to see if anything was created but it's not much out there.

To be fair an ingame codex is rather extensive.
It doesnt have info on enemy hp so good luck minmaxing damage, not like you would really need it.
Steam guides/discussions have much greater value than clickbait articles, I alrady went your route of finding a game wiki.

I'm not talking about ingame, I'm talking about internet content. Like, I went to find a random new game that is popular to test: Remnant II. I search Remnant II wiki and find a large wiki on the game - https://remnant2.wiki.fextralife.com/Remnant+2+Wiki

You can't even find a perk list on this game or list of types of enemies. Basic wiki/guide stuff

Enemy types have their own section in codex. As for perks I don't really remember.

Yes because not being in game is soo much better and should not give it credit for actually putting it in game >_>
Also yaa your comparing 2 vastly different games... in so so many ways.

As he once again said, most you could want is in game and whatever may not be is small.
You move marines around at once and auto shoot aliens and typically equip next available weapon, almost all research things as you get enough matierials for it, and level clicking the few class abilities that are very simple.

If you really feel the need to have something, ign has the typical guides made for it. (which shows you really did no looking and think just trying too have the bad take/attack)

I bought the 'complete' guide on amazon but it ends on chapter 7 and repeats the beginners guide twice. Freakin awesome.

This is only a AA game and it's still early days. Having said that, there is a wiki for it already:

1. AA and even A games have lots of wikis. That's how you know a low budget game is good if people put a lot of work in their wikis

2. That isn't a wiki on this game. That is just a wiki about A vs P franchise. You didn't even look at it before you sent that link :steamfacepalm:

I didn't know IGN make wikis now. I probably dismissed it when I saw IGN. Most of their stuff is very basic and lacking

"2. That isn't a wiki on this game. That is just a ?. You didn't even look at it before it was mentioned :steamfacepalm:"
(also yaa noo........ look into their history of Wiki guides... kind of one the things they do... for many many years let alone "now"......... they even have ign. com/WIKIS , its even more likely you did not notice some the wikis you have checked out before were linked / connected ... too i g n ..)

It's literally a wiki about this game, it's not just about AvP. Take a look at it.

You literally haven't click on any of the links on that or read it. It's nothing but lore about the franchise.
