Of grade I loved the game! But would the actress money spent on buying the art book worth information technology? Every cent, sir. Every cent.

The Art of God of State of war is a graphic dear letter of Santa Monica studios to all the fans who admittedly loved playing the game and also to themselves. It chronicles how the art progressed from the fourth dimension it was conceived to the final touches and even to a place which cannot be accessed in the bodily game. This book is a concrete testify on how much time and artistry they have given a masterpiece, a literary behind-the-scenes documentary for those who wanted more than just playing the game.

God of War isn't even my all-time (PS4) favorite game. That belongs to Doom. But I was disappointed with Doom'south "The Art of" book considering there is i thing information technology failed to deliver that GoW Fine art Book succeeded:

The Art of GoW made the readers feel how much passion they gave to creating the game. It is more than a showcase of talent, but a testament on their perseverance and grit in making a game that will be remembered for a long time.

This is a giant picture book and it's crawly. I would have liked a bit more than information on the creative team's thought process, I mean it's there but it generally makes mode for the art. I can't fault anyone for that merely it would have been dainty to read more than most the backside the scenes thinking.

This is one of those occasions where information technology'southward fair to gauge a book past information technology'southward cover. Similar I say with all of these type of books, if you lot love the game and have an interest in the amazing art of the globe, check it out.

Fantastic artwork, but I would have liked more actual content explaining the thoughts and processes. How was it decided that Kratos would use an axe, and eventually get his dual blades back, how did the engine of the game assistance or hinder fine art development? Some input from the programmers as well as the artists would accept helped.

That said, information technology was a very skillful book. Lots and lots of astonishing artwork!

Absorbing and dripping with temper. One of the best fine art books out in that location and for one of the greatest video games in recent years. This is a marvelous drove of paintings inspired by Norse myth and the artistic procedure behind each concept is explained in detail. Makes me actually desire to play the game again.

A wonderful companion to the game. The depths that the artists/creative team goes to bringing these things to life. I would pay the price of this book again just to see what they left of the cut room flooring. I imagine the artwork to exist substantial.
