Killed a spider in game! And in real life 5/5 ⭐️⭐️✨

Finished killing the spider boss in the game, and ironcly saw a spider, and smooshed with this book. The hard cover demolished that little twerp. Oh, and the art is really nice. :)

beatiful... should have been in the special edition

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.

Absolutely Fantastic Artbook

I already have the Dark Souls 1 Artbook, which is lovely and well made-but this one exceeds it by far. It is massive! Likely two times bigger than the book for DS1. The artwork and sketches are beautiful, the picture quality is great. The insight on the games development is fascinating. Dark Souls will always be my favorite game series and I recommend this for any fan. The title on the cover also shines silver which is a beautiful detail that I wasn’t expecting. 11/10.

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.

Great Book, Perfect for my Collection!

This book is a fantastic addition to my collection of Dark Souls books and artwork. It’s fascinating seeing how the designs for scenery and characters evolved from early in the design process to what we see in the game today. The art is stunning and the designer notes are very interesting, making any fan of the game feel excited to learn some new detail about what might have been.The book arrived in perfect condition and is nice and sturdy without being obtuse. I highly recommend it for any fan of the game or those interested in cool dark fantasy designs!

Nice reprint!

My favorite Dark Souls by a fair bit. The spiritual predecessor to Elden Ring, IMO.I got a Warehouse deal for mine. These hardcover books are prone to damage during shipping, so I figured I ought as well just pocket the savings out the gate. Otherwise, if the corners get dinged you can mask them a little bit with a permanent marker, etc.

Artwork is wonderful

I am a sucker for a good art book and this is just that. The art work is beautiful and the artist notes on some of the designs are great to read. Dark Souls 2 is my favorite one in the series (heresy I know) so this book was a must buy for me.

A must own for any Souls fan

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.

Ottimo prodotto

L'articolo si presenta in ottime condizioni ed è stupendo.Unica nota, in alcune recensioni di questo prodotto sono presenti delle foto in cui si vede la sovra-copertina lucida blu. Queste foto sono fuorvianti, in quanto in realtà non sia compresa nell'articolo alcuna sovra-copertina (o almeno a me non è pervenuta, nonostante abbia provato anche ad effettuare una sostituzione).

Excellent artwork. Worth a place on your shelf.

If you like the Dark Souls series and its artwork, get the books. Yes. Any art book for a From Software game deserves a place of honour on your shelves. If they get the TTRPGs out (like Dark Souls RPG; yes - there IS a TTRPG for it, just search for it on Amazon), grab those too, and return to the worlds you made yourselves a hero in.
