Seriously, get this book. It has all kinds of backstory for characters like Iron Mike and Colonel Garret that didn't make it into the game.

A must for any Days Gone fan!

Great Companion to the game.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 6, 2019

The Art book captures a lot of the visually beautiful settings of the game and offers informative text insights into the developers choices in creating the characters, their look, and in game behavior. It also highlights the different types of Freakers, their capabilities and also the human antagonists you will have to deal with, which are often worse. All in all, a great companion to those who enjoy the game and want to dig a little deeper.

The Art of Days Gone, the quality of the book is good and put together well. The content upon the pages are a good insight into the game and some of what they did for it. Wish it was bigger, but over all its a good artbook.

Ive been collecting these hardcover art books/strategy guides for a while now for games I come across that I really love. This is by far the highest quality one I've ever gotten. Absolutely awesome and an extremely low price for something like this.

Brilliant Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wasn't initially taken with Days Gone. I have since returned to it and thought it was alright. Its a solid game, it just didn't reinvent the wheel like TLOU, Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding, God Of War and to a lesser extent Spiderman. The protagonist is unlikable and the dialogue is clunky. It try's so hard to be perceived as emotionally fraught and gripping but instead seems like a parody.

This book provides an in depth look at how much work went into making Days Gone. The character model designs, patches, tattoos and clothing are all visited including preliminary character arcs which were abandoned early on. Days Gone saving grace is its world/interpretation of Oregon. The snow capped mountain vista's tower over the sweeping verdant pine trees. Dirty and rusting Police cars sit abandoned to the elements on crumbled roads.

A pastel coloured drawing of the O'Leary Mountain Safe-house set against a sunset stands out as does Deacon and Sarah sat at the foot of a majestic waterfall. The Cloverdale Research Iron Butte Facility and NERO checkpoints are detailed and feel believable. I'm running out of steam now so I'll end by saying if you enjoyed the game this book heightens the experience.
