About HowToPlayHub
HowToPlayHub is an independent, fan-made hub of clear, practical how-to-play guides for the biggest games. One place to learn the systems, beat the bosses and stop wasting time — researched from the sources that actually know, and checked against the version of the game you are playing.
What we do
We write beginner guides, walkthroughs, builds and how-tos for the games people actually play. Each game gets its own home, styled to match its world, with guides that get you from your first hour to confident play.
How we write
- Facts first. We verify details against reputable sources — official wikis, patch notes and established community guides — and update pages as games change.
- No leaks, no hype. For unreleased games we stick to what's officially confirmed and clearly label anything that isn't.
- Original everything. Every diagram, emblem and share image on the site is drawn for it as original vector artwork, and we never copy text from another site. Game screenshots are a deliberate exception: those are official media published by the game's own developer or publisher, shown with a visible credit and a link back to the source. We don't take images from other guide sites, wikis or fan galleries.
- Checked against a version. Most guides carry a ✓ Verified for badge naming the game build their facts were checked against, and we revisit affected guides after a patch instead of leaving stale steps up.
- Plain and scannable. Short paragraphs, real steps, no padding to hit a word count.
What we are not
HowToPlayHub is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by any game publisher or developer. All game names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here for descriptive, editorial purposes only.
How we use AI
Openly: AI helps us draft and structure these guides. It is good at turning scattered patch notes, wiki pages and community findings into a clear set of steps, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest.
What AI does not get to decide is whether something is true. Every guide is researched against primary sources — official patch notes, developer posts and established community documentation — and the game build it was checked against is recorded on the page. Facts that we cannot confirm are either left out or clearly labelled as unconfirmed, which is why guides for unreleased games say so on the page. Site artwork is hand-authored vector work, not generated imagery; game screenshots are official publisher media, credited on the page.
Since 31 August 2026 a guide also has to show that work: the Sources list at the end of a page names the pages the facts were checked against, so you can go and disagree with them. As of 5 September 2026 every guide in the current format carries one — that back catalogue was re-checked article by article rather than simply labelled. A smaller set of older pages, written before the format existed, does not show a Sources list yet; those are being re-checked and rebuilt in the current format, or retired.
That pass was not cosmetic. Roughly three quarters of the older guides needed something in the text corrected, and the errors were not only stale patch numbers: there were mechanics, items and even character names that no version of the game ever had. Anything that could not be confirmed against a real source was cut rather than left standing. If you find something that still looks wrong, the corrections address is the fastest way to get it fixed.
Corrections
Games change, and we get things wrong like anyone else. If a step no longer works, or a number is out of date, tell us at contact@howtoplayhub.com — we check it against the source and fix the guide, and the page's update date moves with the fix. Nothing gets quietly edited away.
Who is behind these guides
HowToPlayHub is built and run by Radim Sekera, an independent software developer based in the Czech Republic. He designed how guides are made here and is responsible for every page on the site: the editorial rules, the sources policy and the corrections all come back to him.
The guides are produced by a pipeline he built. AI drafts each guide from primary sources — official patch notes, developer posts and established community documentation. A separate fact-checking pass then tries to disprove every claim against at least two independent sources and removes or corrects what does not hold, and the site's build tooling refuses to publish pages that break its rules, such as dead links or duplicate topics. Guides do not claim first-hand play: where a guide relies on community testing, it says so and links the source.
He also builds the site itself — the guide generator, the search, the interactive planners and calculators are all custom-built rather than bolted-on plugins, which is why a guide can ship with a working tool instead of a screenshot of one. If a guide is wrong, the corrections address goes straight to him.
