Dark Souls I + II Design Works are stunning. I don't think any game has as good an art style as that series, so not surprising the art books are fantastic. Cannot wait for the Bloodborne one to be localised.

The Bloodborne artbook that came with the steelbook edition didn't have any of the bosses
Like....how? So disappointing.
This came out recently. Best art.
Best Artbooks:
*insert your favorite game / most recent purchase*
Worst Artbooks:
usually the ones that come with "Collector Edition" games, soft cover 36 pages A5 artbook,...
Really wish there would be a MASSIVE Wticher 3 artbook. There's an illustrated lore book and the collector prima guide but no real artbook. I really want one that cover the main game plus the extensions. I want details all all armors and sword as well as design iterations for characters and armors
First of all, Parka Blogs is legit. Second of all, half of the FE: Awakening book was character dialogue. Pages and pages and pages of it. So while the art section was good, as an art book on the whole it was a bit of a disappointment lol.
Journey Artbook is amazing. One gaffer got me this for Secret Santa last year I think.
Hyrule Historia was disapointing ... lots of games have just one or two pages and lots of focus on text and timeline and stuff.
Fangamer's Mother 3 Handbook:
I mean, come on. It beats everything else with its presentation alone.
My most disapointing artbook in the other hand, is, sadly Brutal Legend. There is not enough world concept and that was, to me, the best point in the game. There are enough very rough sketches of landmarks and that's it... There's tons of characters concepts and work studies and these are great but not nearly enough about the incredible world they designed in 3D but that is simply not in the book for some reasons... But the book holds the amazing art for the ENTIRE Brutal Legend in black ink, the most metal legend of fire and metal and flesh
Alice Madness Returns artbook is amazing. So is Bayonetta and Dark Souls
Quite literally the reason to get me into the franchise, why I'm so hyped for Re: Link.
Take a look at some art for yourself to see what I mean!
3 books .. it is huge ... but since pretty much every art is full page, lots of art were left out, specialy from the later FF that had fewer amano art
This one. Damn good.
Not necessarily all art books, but I thought I'd get out my stack of game-related books and photograph them all in one go.
ThisRaising the Bar
One book that doesn't skimp on the environment art however is The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants.
I'd have half the stuff in this book framed on my wall if I could.
Im so fucking mad at myself for losing my copy....this is excellentRaising the Bar
Did the Bloodborne artbook ever get translated.
