Really a gorgeous art book with lots of context for how things were meant to be in motion。 I liked the details on framing， the storyboards， and the thematic use of color in the various locations throughout the game。

This was a gift， and I was pleased to receive it considering how much I enjoyed the source material。 Japanese culture and history have always been fascinating to me。 While I have not yet been able to travel there in person， I’ve used many sources to “travel” there through books， film， and art。 While this book is art of a fictional version of Japanese culture， it does offer the viewer some insight into the beauty of Japan。 The source material is a fantastic escape into the world of samurai intrig This was a gift， and I was pleased to receive it considering how much I enjoyed the source material。 Japanese culture and history have always been fascinating to me。 While I have not yet been able to travel there in person， I’ve used many sources to “travel” there through books， film， and art。 While this book is art of a fictional version of Japanese culture， it does offer the viewer some insight into the beauty of Japan。 The source material is a fantastic escape into the world of samurai intrigue many centuries ago on the island of Tsushima – even if you never play the game， I encourage you to check out this book of the game’s art。 。。。more

I love the way this edition of the book is presented。 It's in a nice slipcase， but the book itself has a very interesting spine that seems to be inspired by Japanese book binding。One of the best aspects of "Ghost of Tsushima" is just how beautiful the world is， in its overall design， the use of colour， the architecture of the world is really perfect at immersing the player in the world。This book gives you a glimpse into the art behind the game， the amazing designs of the characters， the island， I love the way this edition of the book is presented。 It's in a nice slipcase， but the book itself has a very interesting spine that seems to be inspired by Japanese book binding。One of the best aspects of "Ghost of Tsushima" is just how beautiful the world is， in its overall design， the use of colour， the architecture of the world is really perfect at immersing the player in the world。This book gives you a glimpse into the art behind the game， the amazing designs of the characters， the island， the homes and of course weapons。 It's nice being able to sit back and look at it all at a slower place， much like every other "Art of。。。" book I've read。Like the other "Art of。。。" game books， there's not a lot in the way of descriptions， in fact less than any other。 It's not necessarily a detriment to the book， it's wise to let the art speak for itself， but I always hope for more of a behind the scenes look at the creation of the game。As always I recommend it to anyone who has played the game， or in this case anyone who has an interest in samurai and Japanese history。 The creators visited the island of Tsushima for inspiration but they do make it clear that the game is a fictional account， therefore they've taken appropriate liberties with the design while doing their best to stay true to the spirit of Japanese culture at the time。 。。。more

Beautiful art！ My good friend Sarah was a character rigger for this game and it's so fun to have a whole book just filled with the character and sets。 Beautiful art！ My good friend Sarah was a character rigger for this game and it's so fun to have a whole book just filled with the character and sets。 。。。more
