GameFAQs was the shit. Dozens of walkthroughs for every game, usually with some awesome ASCII art of the game’s title screen, a table of contents, and an easily searchable code for each section so that you could CTRL+F your way to the exact part you need. All in a deliciously lightweight .txt file that loads in seconds because it’s only a few KBs.
Yeah but newer games don’t have the same amount or quality of walkthroughs that existed in its heydey. Just looked up TOTK; there’s like 3 guides, none of which are in the old school txt style and none of which are actual full walkthroughs. Maybe I’m just having a rough time navigating the newer UI.
For old school games it’s still great, for newer stuff it doesn’t seem quite as good.
The lack of a full guide walkthrough on a game like totk is to be expected because it’s a fully open world game and there’s no definite path to follow.

Gamefaqs and the walkthroughs on it still exists, its just not at the top of a Google search anymore

Plenty of newer linear games have full walkthroughs. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/241004-sekiro-shadows-die-twice/faqs/76974
Maybe I just need to bookmark Gamefaqs and look there directly without search engines.
