I quite like the ‘Art of’ books, be they of games or film, as I like the insight you get behind the scenes. Visually, the Assassins Creed games owe themselves to this kind of book, and Unity is a visually stunning game. Everything, from the characters to the weapons to the environment, is amazing and the concept art and mood art this book reveals is equally stunning. Some of the two page spreads are near masterpieces, and really give you an appreciation for how much effort goes on behind the scenes. The only slight negative is I thought the text a little weak, and almost an afterthought. Some interesting insight, but quite repetitive by the end. If you loved the game, you’ll love this. If you love Assassins Creed, or concept art books, you’ll also loved this. Fab.
Ładne ilustracje, dużo concept-artów oraz ładne wydanie. Nie ma co spodziewać się po tym czegoś więcej - ot album - dla fanów jak najbardziej cenny nabytek, dla pozostałych - cóż, chyba nie wart wydatku.
