The Art Of Mass Effect: Andromeda

This a fantastic art book. A lot of work and care went into these designs, especially for the environments and props, and they are all nicely reproduced in this 200+ page book. If youve purchased the previous mass effect art book, you can expect similarly densely packed pages, which to me is what a good, proper artbook should be. They cover a variety of stages from early concept to final design, and occasionally toss in a 3d model to boot. One negative for me would be the commentary isnt very interesting, compared to say, the dark souls designworks interviews, but you may feel differently! There is some useful insight but often the quips are too short and dont give enough information into the thought process behind each design. Overall though its excellent as far as an artbook can go and i would recommend it if you enjoyed the art of the game.

I have purchased many art books for games in the past and this one is every bit as good as the others I have bought. The artwork is stunning and brings back fond memories of playing the game and exploring the world. The concept and development art is very interesting as it shows how the world and characters evolved over time from early sketches to final 3D renders.

l am not going to make this review about the game itself. Clearly there have been people that have been disappointed by the new game (me not being one of them), but this is an art book for the Mass Effect Andromeda game, not the Mass Effect Andromeda game itself. So the games success is completely irrelevant to me when it comes to taking about the overall quality of the art design team and this art book. What I do care about when it comes to art design and video game art books is the quality of the art from the game and on this level, Bioware has yet to disappoint me to date and this book continues that streak. One of my favorite aspects to these kinds of books is the concept art and how you see characters go from concept art all the way to finished design. Its a process that I have always found highly intriguing and this book has some fantastic concept art. I also love that most of these books contain never before seen artwork for the game. If these books were just nothing but the artwork we have all already seen...well, there wouldn't be too much incentive to buy it, but when you add the amazing art that you have likely seen with the really fascinating concept art along with the never before seen artwork and what you get is a very modestly priced art book that will more that satisfy the Mass Effect fans of the world. Even for those that didn't like Andromeda, but still consider themselves a Mass Effect fan due to the original trilogy, there is still plenty of quality artwork in here that would make this a solid purchase. Bottom line - these last few years have been some of the best to date in regards to video game related art books. The video game companies are putting a lot more effort into these kinds of art books then they ever have before so what you ultimately have is a video game industry that is chock full of amazing video game art books and short of a few misc titles for series I don't really care for, I have purchased most of them and this book can more than hold its own against all of the other quality video game art books that have been released the last few years running. If your a Mass Effect fan and enjoy art books, this should be a no brainer purchase. And best of all it has a very moderate price which makes purchasing it all the easier. This book will be proudly displayed on my bookshelf along with all of my other Mass Effect and other video game related art books. Just a fantastic job all the way around on this book!

un must have per tutti I fan della saga.
