It is a new beginning for Kratos. Living as a man, outside the shadow of the gods, he seeks solitude in the unfamiliar lands of Norse mythology. With new purpose and his son at his side, Kratos must fight for survival as powerful forces threaten to disrupt the new life he has created.

An intimate chronicle of the years-long odyssey to bring Kratos and Atreus's beautiful and brutal world to life.

Step into Midgard and explore beyond, as Dark Horse Books and Santa Monica Studio proudly present the quintessential companion to the enormously anticipated God of War. This is a document unlike any other that sets readers on an exhaustive behind-the-scenes journey to witness the creation of an epic of tremendous scale.

Damaged book
At first I thought it was in perfect condition until I saw the back. Now both art books I bought are damaged. What is happening? I’m so disappointed right now, and I only have 1 box I can use to return one of them 😭

    The layout is great. The pages are high quality and not too glossy so everything is beautifully represented. It doesn’t really open up perfectly flat and stay there (something I appreciate in a coffee table book) but that’s a very minor thing that doesn’t detract from the overall product.

    I collect a lot of art books, and the quality and amount of pictures in this book is insane. every detail is covered. While most of my art books have a lot of composite, lower quality pictures that are interesting as window into the development of a game, every one of the pictures in this one are extremely clear and finished pieces of art. I'm in awe. this might be the best art book i have.
    lots of clay models and asset designs and each environment is fully finished. monster sketches and stages of development. Man, if you like art and God of war this is the best book ever. wow guys, I'm shook.

    Filled with information about the lore of this game and an incredible amount of details about the artistic process.
    No need to talk about the beauty of the drawings it selves, the end product already predicts the astonishing concept arts you will see in this book.
    The book is heavy with thick paper and solid hard cover, exactly what i would expect from a book like this.

    Il libro è bellissimo, perché mostra tutti i concept art che sono stati realizzati nel gioco,li suddivide in vari capitoli che sono raggruppati in quattro parti e dà un senso di coordinazione e organizzazione dei vari concept art realizzati.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un buen libro de arte
    Reviewed in Spain on November 16, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Me gusta coleccionar libros de arte generalmente de videojuegos, y normalmente estoy pendiente de que 鶹 ponga alguna oferta para hacerme con ellos, tengo que decir que este libro al precio de 20 euros es casi una compra obligada.

    El libro contiene casi 220 páginas de arte conceptual, entornos, modelos, preproducción y postproducción. Me llama mucho la atención como están organizados los capítulos del libro. El libro está bien escrito (En inglés, no se ha traducido). Comienza con un prólogo de Cory Barlog y una introducción de Evan Shamoon a modo de toma de contacto, y preparan al lector ante el camino que va a recorrer a través del libro.

    - El primer capítulo es "Pre-producción" (Pre-Production), que recopila y muestra parte del material que se utilizó a modo de ideas para el desarrollo del juego.
    - El segundo capítulo se titula "First Playable", es un capítulo interesante que trata sobre la dificultad de reunir el material de pre-producción, es decir, lo que se reveló en la ceremonia de inauguración de la Conferencia de PlayStation E3 de 2016: que fue cuando se hizo una demostración práctica por primera vez de God of War acompañada de una orquesta sinfónica y un coro.
    - El tercer capítulo es "Abriendo el mundo (Opening Up The World), en el cual se recrea en cada parte de la historia y algunos aspectos del mundo abierto del juego.
    - Y por último el cuarto capítulo se titula "Producción"(Production). En este último capítulo, es cuando realmente se aprecia el resultado de la obra con ilustraciones finales que se ven en el juego.

    Lo dicho, un libro de arte que que la relación calidad-precio es estupenda, en el que disfrutará de las ilustraciones, tanto si te gusta God of War como si no. Por poner una pega, las dimensiones del libro son un poco mas grandes de lo habitual, y puedes tener problemas para que te encaje en la estantería y también se echan en falta más ilustraciones a lo largo de sus páginas.

    El libro de arte es sencillamente hermoso, el poder tener en tus manos esas obras de arte que se generan para la producción de un juego y en este caso para God of War, el libro tiene un orden cronológico, en el cual se van mostrando y narrando del porque de esa pieza de arte, y como esta ayudo a definir y darle forma a uno de los mejores juegos del 2018.

    El libro es de pasta dura, de una calidad formidable, y el detalle del símbolo omega en rojo con relieve es algo muy padre. Sin duda no puede faltar en tu colección, tanto si eres fan del juego, como coleccionista de libros de arte.

    Je pense que la plupart des autres commentaires ont déjà bien résumé ce livre, il est magnifique ! Premier artbook que j'ai commandé avec celui d'Horizon Zero Dawn et je ne regrette pas mon achat !
    Les artistes qui ont construit et développé l'univers ont du talent à revendre et vous n'avez qu'à vous laisser porter par les visuels au fil des pages et profiter du voyage ! Je le conseille à tous les amateurs d'artbooks et artistes en manque d'inspiration, ou simplement à ceux qui souhaitent étoffer leur collection ;)
