Fantastic!

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019

I'm gonna go ahead and start off by saying: I actually like this game (granted I didn't see the initial trailer or what was promised).
Even after reaching my goal javelin build and getting bored with the few missions available, I still play every now and then just to explore. Because the world, lore, and esthetics are amazing!
And this book further delves into all of that!
There's fantastic art for everything: javelins, striders, enemies, flaura, fauna, human and shaper architecture, even clothing styles among all factions.
While there aren't paragraphs by the creators on their processes, the captions given are still informative.
Even if you don't like this game, if you're a fan of world building this book is a must.
But, seeing everything in this book makes me sad and quite mad at what this game really could've been.
As for the extras that come with: the mural card is nicely embossed and sturdy, similar to the hard cover. The print is very nice, though I'm not sure why they made it like a movie poster. And of course the magnet case is great especially since the freelancer logo is cut out to show the cover art.
So, all in all, get this. It's great.

Good quality

As a book it does feel nice. It’s not a cheap loose piece of crap. The content is a pretty nice insight and has some good artwork (of course).

I collect all video game art books. This one is in the top three I've gotten next to The Art of Dragon Age Inquisition and Th Art of Assassins Creed Odyssey.

It's a heavy duty book. The pages are thick and beautifully glossy. The cover feels like soft leather (it's not leather, it's just as soft though). It has that wonderful new book smell (yall know what I mean, dont judge lmfao)

The extras in the box are fine. I dont really care about those things but they're nice. The box it came in is an extra bonus for me.

The art is stunning. I purposely didnt share pictures, just buy this book it's worth it. I'm ordering another one to keep sealed like my collection tells me to lmfao

A beautiful yet depressing collection of what could have been...

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2021

Really well put together book that shows the beauty behind Anthem. This art collection only serves to increase the disappointment of what Anthem became. Seeing the ideas and possibilities in the early days of Anthems creation that are contained in this book and comparing it to the final product that was received raises the question how can things go so wrong...

Amazing artbook

Love it or hate the state of the game this is an amazing art book. The amount of great design from robot to creatures and environments places is beautiful and really well done. I have a bunch of game art books and movies and this one is well place as a great one. Also Dark Horse publishing is doing great bringing all these compilations on concepts and art and maintaining a nice structure, hardcover and good binding of the pages.

Amazing Concept Art/Story, Regardless of Actual Game

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed looking through this art book. It’s filled with a lot of content and that makes me sad because the game we have now is a total flop. There is a lot of great ideas and thought put into the development of Anthem, but is either cut or not executed well by the end product. Such a shame. Love the book, it will go well with all my other art books.

Not such a great game, but this isn't a review for that. This book is a fantastic collectors item. Beautiful artwork and a really cool and insightful look into what could have been. For fans of the game, or just video games in general, this should really be interesting.

De los mejores artbooks que he comprado, fantástico arte, libro amplio, buena maquetación, gran calidad de materiales con buen acabado y además a un muy buen precio. Muy recomendable para amantes del concept art, tanto en diseño de personajes como en environments. También recomendable para amantes del juego aunque por lo visto habrá pocos ya que no ha tenido éxito.
