    Though, this is not an arts book for Nier:Automata, but it has many beautiful arts in it. The book is explaining the game to you, from the world components to everything. Even the smallest details like animals and grass or parts in every map in the game. If you're a fan of the game you will love this book for sure it has many arts of the characters in the game too and they're very detailed.

    It's nice to have it or to gift it to your friend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not an artbook, not a strategy guide...it is a world guide, exactly as stated.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Much in the same vein that Nier: Automata is an interesting blend of gaming genres, this book is a mash up of different print media we generally see in gaming.

    Part artbook, part strategy guide, and part narrative lore expansion, the World Guide has a nice little mix of everything. That said, this book is predominately an artbook akin to Nier being predominately an action RPG. At about 180 pages long, the hardbound volume consists of character art, scenic portraits, maps, screenshots, and narrative. It's really interesting.

    I have to say, having purchased other localized gaming artbooks, every one of these sorts of English editions gives me strategy guide vibes. I think that's just an issue with me, as I used to purchase guides back in the day since most artbooks were never localized. My brain just correlates English text and gaming imagery with a strategy guide. I have seen videos of the Japanese edition of this book and it appears to be a 1:1 localization, from an aesthetic perspective. It also looks like the Japanese version has a softcover to boot.

    Recommended for Nier fans.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for fans of the franchise & collectors
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020

    Like many other reviewers have mentioned, it's not just an "art book" or only a "strategy guide". Instead it does a great job of combining the Nier Automata game's beautiful art (hand drawn & game graphics) as well as information, tips, and at the end a story. I love that it came in hardback. I buy mainly eBooks these days but, I wanted a physical copy of it. Anyway, it's a hybrid between the two types of books. If you prefer only an art book or a strategy guide, this might not be for you. However, if you're interested in both and you are a fan then you will probably love the book as much as I did. One of the coolest things from it were the breakdown diagrams of the parts of everything from flight units to machine life form components. I'd highly recommend it.

    Esperaba que viniera cubierto y protegido, pero llegó en la caja junta al otro libro que compre, hasta daba miedo saber que un mal movimiento iba a deformar el libro. Lo bueno es que es Tapa dura y son muy resistentes, luego la calidad del libro es impresionante, me hubiera gustado que tenga más procesos del diseño que hicieron para 2B, 9S y los demás personajes, ya sabes uno siempre adora los procesos.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    ... it's almost as good as one. This volume, at least. the nier automata world guide vol 1 contains decent mix of game maps, concept art, character information, and short stories that build on the world. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a "must have", but it's a pretty good addition to any nier fan's library. The second volume on the other hand is almost entirely a game guide, and doesn't have much value outside that.
