There are countless facts in the gaming sector that are hardly a secret, even for those not familiar with the industry: the success of games like Fortnite or Pokemon, for example, or the fact that The Witcher III: Wild Hunt has sold extremely well. However, some other information and anecdotes cause even die-hard gamers to be amazed. Hands up: Who knew that it would take a pixel visitor in the Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 game over 2.000 game years to escape from the digital amusement park? If you can smile at these or similar weird facts about video games, you shouldn't miss the following book review on the Guiness Book for Gamers, the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2020.
Admittedly, the Guiness book starts out confusing for “mature gamers”. Ali-A jumps towards the reader in the foreword and reports how happy he is with the current edition of the Guiness World Records Gamer's Edition.

Conclusion
The Guiness World Records Gamer's Edition 2020 is fun. The colorful, comic-like pages invite you to leaf through them. You usually jump back and forth, always looking for records on video games that you have played - and maybe even loved - yourself. And you will often find what you are looking for. The greater your own wealth of experience, the greater the pool of well-known game titles, the more interesting it will be to browse the Guiness World Records Gamer's Edition 2020.
Nicely prepared, mostly clearly laid out, each page entices with small or big surprises. However, the language is always adapted to the main target group, which is somewhere between “PUBG” and “Apex Legends”. The Guinness Book is not an eloquent literary work, but a hodgepodge of bits of information. It was never different and it doesn't have to be. The combination of short texts, colorful pictures and screenshots works extremely well. An index facilitates orientation.
Anyone who finds crazy and sometimes absurd facts about individual games exciting will be well served with the content in the Guiness World Records Gamer's Edition 2020. The entertainment value is high. Reading about records - and thus often achievements - from other players, games, publishers and developers is fascinating.
