Guille SanReviewed in Spain on March 10, 20195.0 out of 5 stars Muy buen Libro de Arte
Soy coleccionista de Libros de Arte, y después de pasarme el Gears Of War 4 decidí comprarme el libro para volver a sumergirme en el mundo Sera, sus entornos, personajes... El libro describe bocetos, estilos y referencias que los autores, artistas y el equipo de desarrollo han utilizado a la hora de crear el juego. Podemos ver paisajes, localizaciones, entornos, personales, armas, enemigos, y unas cuantas cosas más, así como bocetos de cosas que al final no se llegaron a usar en el juego, o variantes de enemigos y armas. Lo recomiendo totalmente. El libro en sí está bien impreso, sin errores, con bastante texto y bien encuadernado, además de que la portada es muy atractiva. Tiene 217 páginas. Recomendado para los amantes de los ArtBooks.
