Review: A Masterpiece for Every God of War Fan - This art book is absolutely stunning. The level of detail, concept sketches, and behind-the-scenes insights perfectly capture the soul of God of War (2018). Every page feels like a journey through the Nine Realms. The quality of the print and artwork is top-notch — a true treasure for fans and collectors alike.
Review: A Tome Worthy of the God it Represents - As a fan of art books for the games that I love or anticipate to be monumental upon their release, I pre-ordered this book as soon as I noticed it was available. I rarely do that on account of the increased price at face value upon release date, but I knew that this game was going to produce some of the most gorgeous, awe-inspiring art pieces in recent memory for the genre. The Art of God of War does not disappoint. The book clocks in at over 220 pages of concept art, models, environments, pre-production, and post-production items. Full page spreads adorn some of the more impressive vistas or artistic representations of action scenes that exhibit the tone that Cory Barlog was desperately searching for words to explain. If the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" then, indeed, these images speak volumes. What makes the book most impressive is how it is organized. The book is well written and recounts the expedition from the small "what if" that sparked back in 2013. It starts with a well-written foreword by Cory Barlog and introduction by Evan Shamoon. These paragraphs set the stage for the journey you are about to take through the book, strapping you in snugly before the fantastic and thrilling ride of game development. Part One is "Pre-Production," compiling everything that went into taking an idea and a re-imagining and putting thoughts and dreams to paper. Part Two is titled "First Playable," an interesting chapter regarding the not-often-witnessed pain-staking process of putting together pre-production materials into what was revealed at the infamous opening ceremony to the 2016 E3 PlayStation Conference - the moment that shocked audiences world-wide as Cory performed a hands-on "first playable" demonstration of God of War backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir. [Note: if you haven't seen this for yourself, be sure to YouTube the 2016 E3 PlayStation Conference to witness God of War's epic reveal.. something that I doubt will ever be replicated.] Part Three is "Opening Up The World," showcasing the real meat of putting rubber to asphalt and building upon the first-playable demo, expanding into each segmented part of the story and open-world aspects of the game. Finally, Part Four is titled "Production," and it is the equivalent to cinematic post-processing, editing, cutting floor, and polishing of Hollywood blockbusters. In this finale, you really see the shine finally come through on the finished masterpiece that Cory and his team at Santa Monica gave rise to, five years in the making. I could not recommend this book more to newcomers and beloved fans of the God of War franchise and legacy. Critics and fans have agreed that this game is a love letter to everything that makes video gaming near and dear to our hearts. It has redefined what it means to enjoy video games. It is powerful. It is smart. It is funny. It is heartbreaking. And this book by Dark Horse has overcome the immense obstacle of setting itself apart from its contenders in the same manner as the source material it depicts. 5 Stars.
