A must own for any Souls fan

30 January 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

I've been a Souls fan since Demon's Souls surprised us in 2009. With every Souls game From Software has created worlds that are beautiful and horrifying. I loved Dark Souls Design Works and when I saw one for Dark Souls 2 it was an instant pre-order.

The book is twice the size of the first one, with a gorgeous dust jacket and cover. The pages are quality paper. And the artwork...wow. It's an impressive book.

I'm eagerly awaiting the inevitable Design Works for Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3. I won't even hesitate to buy.

Unprepared

beatiful... should have been in the special edition

11 April 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Dark Souls special edition boxes have always been a disappointment. Skyrim came with a cheap plastic dragon statue, and a large thick art book that was every bit as exhaustive as any Disney art-of book. Impressive. Dark souls 2 came with a large but unimpressive plastic statue of a knight, and a very small, thin art book that only includes a handful of pages with key art of a few characters and monsters. Dark Souls 1 included even less. This is the art book you'll want. A great book with plenty of nice, creative imagery that went into designing the character, creatures and areas of the game.

My only complaint would be that is only reaches the same level as that Skyrim book... A book that came included in the special edition of the game. This book is fantastic, but at a high additional cost.

Still, at least we have a full fledged art book rather than just the novelty gimmick that comes with the game.

Include books like this with the game and I will start buying the special editions again in a heartbeat. Love this book. It's twice as thick as the Dark Souls 1 version... Which is also a must have for fans.

Lets hope they put one out for Dark Souls 3 without delay.

Beautiful art book

I am a huge soul fans and this art book is wonderful. Anyone who loves dark souls will appreciate this book. I have the design works for the original dark souls and this one for dark souls 2 is almost double the size in pages. I hope bloodborne and dark souls 3 will get design works as well!

Here are some pictures as well as a comparison pic of the two spines.

Great Quality Art Book

I am a 100% easy mark for Souls related stuff, so view this review through a super fan's eyes. I've thoroughly beaten all Souls and Souls related games, so I've recently been on a kick trying to track down more 'lore' related works. I bought the Dark Souls 1 Design Works book earlier this year and loved it, so I figured I should give this one a try too. To my surprise, the book itself is MUCH better, and has tons more content. I realize that the legacy of Dark Souls 2 isn't as well regarded as the original Dark Souls, but I have always appreciated each work independently and I believe the Design Works help the appreciation of both. A must-have for any Souls fan or any fan who appreciates design works and pre-production stuff like myself.

The second Design Works art book for Dark Souls 2. It features iconic artwork from the game on high quality paper. Everything from locations, boss and enemy types, to weapons, armor, and items. Highly recommended for fans of Dark Souls and Fromsoft.
