Most reviews of the artbook here on Steam seem to review the GAME rather than the artbook.
That's why I'm reviewing the BOOK (or rather a PDF file) so that you get a better idea what you're getting.
Does the artbook contain concept art, sketches and designs for the game? Yes!
Is it interesting? Yes.
Can I imagine a much longer, more in-depth artbook? Also yes.
If you loved the game and you are trying to get your hands on some concept art from the game, this book does provide that.
The book contains 53 pages in total, including the title page. There's one page with a longer text (a foreword, with concept art filling the entire background of the page), also a few pages here and there with memorable quotes from the game.
The rest of the book is purely visual.
Contrary to what some other review(s) might suggest, there are no "simple screenshots" from the game in this book. The visual content really is proper artwork and designs.
Btw, "53 pages" doesn't translate to "53 images", in many cases there are many images on one page.
Also worth mentioning, the resolution of the images in the PDF is really good, you can zoom in and see the details.
I would love for the artbook to also include interviews with the creators or a bit of insight into the creative process.
Unfortunately, there's no such thing here.
But overall, I did enjoy this book, it does include a lot of artwork that I wasn't able to find anywhere else online, so I'm happy about that.
