2.0

An art book/game guide rolled into one. The guide portions of this book feature very few maps and the ones that are there don't show item/enemy placements. The "guide" portions of this book are almost exclusively in a text format that will likely make most players close the book look for a video online to help them.

The art portions of the book get a better deal, with some good spreads and interesting creator commentaries behind the team's creative choices and puzzle designs. Unfortunately the art is featured on the same pages as the text-heavy "guides", taking up precious real estate on the page and making me wish I had a digital PDF of this book I could zoom in on the pieces I really wanted to see.

Do not spend full price on this book. There is some enjoyment to be had here, but this REALLY should have been 2 separate books. It tries to do too much and will leave both art enthusiasts and gamers feeling unsatisfied.
