Bloodborne Official Artworks

Most of the negative reviews for this book seem to come from the fact that this is not a hardcover book. Why should it? The original Japanese release isn't hardcover either and that it is missing some artwork. I've seen the Japanese edition and this Udon release are the same, except for the English text in the Udon edition.As the for the content itself, this is amazing! Page after page of concept art from the game. Every single piece here it nightmare fuel and the fans of the game or horror games will love it. Like the game itself, there's not much info behind each piece of concept art. I did find issue with the paper stock used by Udon, but other that this large book will make a nice addition to your art-book collection.

This book includes concept art as well! I wasn't expecting that. Honestly, I was concerned about the definition and quantity of the artwork renderings, but those were cast away once the book arrived. It's a bit large, and hard to fit into a bookcase aesthetically, but I love the book and its contents as much as the game itself. Definitely worth buying!

I absolutely adore the fromsoftware game art books and was extremely excited to get the bloodborne book. Beautiful design, layout and print quality. My only major complaint was that I wish it was hardcover! Would of make this a slam dunk for me. Aside from that it’s an amazing book and worth getting for anyone into creepy, gory and Victoria aesthetics

I know a lot of people want to back up Udon and FromSoftware with the fact that this is paperback and it's its own book, but I can see why people would be displeased with the fact this isn't a hard cover nor is there an option for that also. The art is amazing and I still fully recommend the buy. However, it's clear that they knew this would sell like hot cakes and because it's a smaller publisher they went cheap to maximize profit. That's the problem I have. It's not a reflection of the quality of Bloodborne. If I was Hidetaki Miyazaki (I don't know if I spelled that right) I'd make sure to go with Dark Horse next time. The final thing about the physical quality is that a lot of people say it's not fun to compare, but in one sense you have to in order to gauge what a good, long lasting, and readable book is. In another you have to understand art books are collector's pieces. Do I want to collect a fat magazine that may not hold up after 3-4 reads? Or would you like the lesser priced (for what I paid) Fallout 4 art book that is so thick and heavy you need a crane to read it? (Obviously that's rhetorical for perspective) It is rather on par with some text books that could cost triple its price.About the art, sadly I have the least to say here because you can only write so much about art from a game many of us have beaten repeatedly. Obviously the book has content we've never seen until now. So for the alternate designs of the weapons, characters, architecture, and maybe most importantly, the beasts, I'm extremely impressed. I could expect nothing less from the Japanese artists who took so much time exploring Arthurian Lore and taking the time to interpret old legends of western culture. All you really need to know is this book is worth it if all you want to see is the art and you don't care that a great deal of other books on the market (for some games that aren't even AAA titles) have much better physical quality.

Gave this to my husband for his birthday, as we're both huge fans of the art and lore of Bloodborne. Arrived just in time and with no issues, a good read if you want to know more about the backstory of some of the items, gear and characters. Plus, you finally get to see the bosses' designs clearly without getting your butt kicked for staring.

This book is awesome! Just what I wanted yet it had a small problem with the corner but it is paper back so it'll happen anyways. The pages are nice and glossy and so much detail. The size is nice to see everything in the book. I hope this was helpful c:

This book is incredible. I have had my eye on it for a long time. I have been DMing a DnD campaign for awhile now and draw some of my inspiration from bloodborne. It's opened me up to even more ideas. The artwork is beautiful.
