Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Official Artworks

The book itself was good, but there was some damage to the item. The rating of 5 stars is for the item itself, it's a great book with some great artwork in it. I do wish that Amazon was more careful with shipping the package.

Tons of artwork to look at on just about every aspect of the game, though it is a softcover book it is still worth to check out if you are a fan of FromSoftware and Sekiro!

Awesome book, the binding is not backwards, this is how books are in Japan. The English version is bound like they are in the US. This version is Japanese. The cover feels like nice , it is textured to feel like scroll paper.

The Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Official Artworks book is just super incredible. Seeing all the enemy designs and locations as concept art and seeing how great of a job they did bringing it all to life. If you like game art, world design, or anything of the sort definitely check this out. The paperback binding slides around a bit and the art is all phenomenal but it is a little dark on certain pages. These are my only two complaints on an otherwise amazing art book and look behind the scenes. If you're a FromSoftware fan, a fan of Japanese Culture, or just looking for some cool ninja art inspiration. This is a great book to add to the collection.

the art is super good quality im a huge fan of art books

Bello

It is a good price but I recommend getting it from a more reputable source, it fell apart.

Very disappointed with the condition this book came in. Bought new but came with folded cover corner and wrinkled cover (see pics). Seems like it was just thrown in the box and shipped.

Çıtır hasarlı geldi ama yine de iyi

its exactly as i hoped it would be.

the cover was ripped and dented, the dust cover was completely crushed.

Debería ser pasta dura, lástima. Aún así, el arte del juego es increíble y contiene muchas cosas interesantes que le añaden aún más a este juegazo de Fromsoft. Lo amo.

Ever since flipping through the mini-art book in the Sekiro collectors edition I said to myself "I really hope they do a full-size art book for this" It took a while but here it is and it is truly staggering. For such a thick heavy book I would have preferred a Hardback with a sewn binding like the Marvel Omnibus Books as I don't want to press this book flat as I don't want to risk the pages coming loose. You open and read the book from right to left which for a westerner seems unorthodox and I have bought magazines in Japan and I don't think they were right to left so I'm not sure why the book is formatted/configured like this. The book is in the same chronological order as the game and presents the images in a near identical way that you progressed up the mountain when you played. The paintings/drawings/sketches are so detailed that are like screenshots and very much like the flawless TLOU2 art-book the developers owe a huge dept to the artists as the aesthetic/tone for both Sekiro and TLOU2 is really all on the page. The artists could have literally said just recreate/digitise what we paint approximately. Even if you hadn't played Sekiro I honestly believe that any fans of Japanese culture would enjoy this book. Most of the images could be hung on a wall. The pages are glossy thick stock and I would describe the colour saturation in certain destinations (Mibu Village, Ashina Depths, Attics, Caves Etc) as earthy and intentional. Some reviewers have said images are too dark to appreciate. I unequivocally disregard that critique. Sekiro's world is swathed in darkness, from collapsed palace audience chambers and underwater caverns to the gentle flickering glow of candles in enlightened hallways and abandoned dungeon pathways. The world is dark because it is devoid of hope. After admiring the impeccable environments the latter part of the tome is dedicated to Characters and Prosthetic Tools. Lowly ranked soldiers are distinguishable by their tattered dishevelled clothes, multiple layers is a must in an attempt to keep the cold at bay. The Sculptor exudes a haunted aura, dejected and beaten down. Hanbei The Undying even in death has a more dignified posture. Kuro, The Divine Heir is a stark contrast to the dirty unkept Sculptor, his clean appearance and fine clothing signifies his ignorance to the harshness beyond the castle walls. This book seems more genuine than the Ghost of Tsushima Book as a Japanese team worked on Sekiro. Absolutely nothing superfluous and please don't hesitate because Dark Horse didn't produce this tome. I must have thirty to forty computer game art books and this one is highly rated. I actually intend on purchasing another one as I believe these will be highly sought after, highly recommended, perfect product.
