its basically the book version of a wiki

QUICK REVIEW: A clearly superior, more expansive edition compared to the first volume. Short stories, detailed story and gameplay walkthroughs, interviews, lore, concept and promotional art—if there was one book to choose, fans of Nier:Automata should choose Volume 2 | RECOMMEND

I’ve never played this game and know nothing about it. I saw the art described somewhere in the 3-D art community, and happen to find it at the local Barnes & Noble. Became vaguely obsessed with obtaining the book then bought it online. Have yet to read it. Thanks for coming to my TED talk about a video game art book.
