Really lovely coffee table/art book about Horizon - Zero Dawn. It was great to get more insight into the development of the characters and setting of this immersive world. Being able to examine some of the concept art and read from those involved in the development of this game was very enjoyable as a big fan of the series.

I love Horizon Zero Dawn. I loved the concept artwork Loish had done for Aloy before I bought the game, and I loved it when I played it, so much I pre-ordered the extra content (yes, I know this is a site about books, NOT video games). I also preordered funko's and pins and the soundtrack.
And now I have the book.
The book is stunning, with a lot of detail in it, a lot of artwork (which is one of my favourite parts, sometimes books that are "the Art of" don't have enough art) and it just made me want to draw there and then. Absolutely stunning!

Mostly got this book to enjoy the concept art and marvel at how pretty the game is. It did not disappoint!
Solid coffee table art book - especially if your guests also appreciate scifi as an art genre.

A lovely art book. Figured since Forbidden West is coming out later this month, I might as well revisit the game that started it all. It was nice reading about some of the concepts behind the game, and why certain things are the way they are. It's absolutely beautiful too. The concept artists at Guerilla are truly phenomenal.

A book so small apparently didn't even had space to credit the artists.

It's been two years that I played Horizon Zero Dawn. No game before managed to draw me in like this: I just love the main protagonist Aloy, a fierce, strong woman; the puzzling setting of post-post-apocalypse with machines roaming around that Aloy has to fight with her bow; the stunning beauty of the landscapes partly around the National Parks of The Grand Circle Tour in USA; the tribal culture; and an immersive story which builds up and stays interesting until the grand finale. I can't wait to play the next volume on PS5 next year.
To soothe my aching heart, I've just snagged the hardcover The Art of Horizon Zero Dawn and its 193 pages of illustrations. They cover all the aspects of the game, with a special focus on Aloy and her hairstyle, the tribes, landscapes, and machines. They range from concept illustrations, to comic style, up to photo realistic drawings. Some of the most prominent moments are double sided. There is not much text in it, but the few lines on every double page bring forth the artists' intentions directly from the source. It could have provided a bit more insights into the creative process, and I'm missing details around the cultural background. In addition, I missed some important characters, and I'd loved to see some more machines. On the other side, I always can go back to the game.
