Bloodborne Official Artworks Paperback – Illustrated, 4 July 2017

In regards to people being disappointed with the fact that it's not a hardcover and that they expected more content - I would personally agree. However, for what is provided, it is a worthy addition to a Bloodborne collector.I own a few art books and guidebooks for various other games, but Bloodborne is the one I own basically everything there is to own, so I might be a bit biased here, do keep that in mind.While the book is indeed not hardback (which is common for the UDON publisher), so you don't get that "feel of a book", the quality is still good, don't think that it's some sort of leaflet with pictures.The art itself consists of original concepts, alterations and some pages have in-game screenshots with added artistic enhancements, so to speak, to make it match with the rest of the book aesthetically.When it comes to the concepts themselves, never have I seen a more faithful transition from concept to the final product with every little detail, every tiny piece of clothing or a gravestone, everything you remember from the game is there in the concepts, perfectly transitioning from art to video game.Apart from the details on some bosses and enemies (which admittedly could use more attention apart from a single image) that you might not be able to see in game, all of that is present to quench your curiosity.Some details that were not included or included only partially are there too.The most interesting part for myself personally was that, every Hunter armour set, in full size, usually with back and frontal views, also has a neat detail - how it looks without the coat/cape/top cover/etc. just showing what is underneath that tiny bit of armour that you'd never see in gameOverall well worth getting if you don't mind the softcover.

I am very fascinated with the Lovecraftian theme that Bloodborne achieves. The game itself is a masterpiece for many reasons, but being able to own this book that so perfectly presents the detail of this world and everything in it, is a joy. If you're a fan of the art design of FromSoftware's masterpiece, this book is definitely worth owning.

As a massive fan of the game, it was a real treat when this arrived in the post. The images are really high quality and printed on glossy paper. It features a good combination of world concept art and character art although I was hoping for a bit more concept work of non-featured ideas. Regardless, the artwork is awesome and brings out the horrific vision of the monsters in a way that game can't. The artbook itself arrived in perfect condition with no damage to the pages or spine.

Bad points and why I gave 4 stars - I wasnt expecting it too be and I new it would be a paper back. But this propduct would of got a perfect score if they made it hard back.Other then that.....absolutley stunning stuff. Not much to read but this is an Art Book not a making of. Glossy paper and sharp colours and images. Bloodborne fans this is worth every penny.

Amazing illustrations, and well indexed. It shows how much thought went into the visuals for a game with such a compelling story. A must-have item for anyone with a soft-spot for from software games or lovecraftian/gothic horror

Great, simply great artbook, which should be with hard covers.I'm afraid that the pages will start falling apart soon :/.The images are superb, quality is great. Get ready to enter the Gothic, dark world of Bloodborne.

very good book; as a bloodborne fan I enjoyed it a lot; could have used more details on some of the characters and npcs, but even so, it's worth the money and time

Highly recommend for Bloodborne fans. Art book is very detailed, nicely done with great images from the game. Too bad it isn’t available as hardcover.
