About this deal

They only did so once Sam helped bring the Chiral Artist to the Junk Dealer safely, so that they could be together.

You don't really get value for money anymore which is why its nice when you receive an item and it meets or surpasses expectations. Not long after this, the Chiral Artist's Mother told both the Chiral Artist and the Junk Dealer of their shared past, leading to both parties reconciling and getting back together. The main designer and director is Hideo Kojima so it's probably not surprising to feel the similar Metal Gear Solid (MSG) vibe in the style of art you'll see in this book.There are even a number of early, unused BT concepts which look like they’d be right at home amongst the eldritch nightmares of Bloodborne. There is some final art, some late-concept art, some early-concept and some art that ended up on the cutting room floor. Some of them are downright creepy, but no design in the game tops Fragile’s impractical, but very cool umbrella. The pages are lined with a glittery gold foil, so you’ll want to opt for the coffee table as to not hide the lovely trim. From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes an all-new, genre-defying experience for the PlayStation®4 system, nominated for the DICE Game of the Year Award.

The art is simply stunning from the mgs style character designs to the concepts of bts and massive paintings of locations. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. You will see sketches and details about main characters, side characters, landscapes, monsters, objects, vehicles and other little bits and pieces. These ghosts are truly haunting and I loved seeing some of the extra spooky details that went into designing them, like the golden skull resting in mouth of the whale-type BT.

I managed to snag the Collectors Edition and even bought the Q-Pid Replica Necklace, Bridges Pin and Cap. The text on the book jacket is also a shiny gold while underneath the jacket, the letters gleam in shiny black, bringing to mind the Chiral goo in which the BTs lurk.

If you haven’t played the game and are wary of spoilers, there are some designs shown near the end of the book that might count as context-free spoilers. This is a generous compendium of concept artwork for the characters, costumes, equipment, locations and monsters of Death Stranding, although it's a bit lacking in commentary and structure.

There are 256 pages, it's a square shaped book with some pictures spanning the entire two pages and other sketches taking up part of a page. A few of the larger double pages that was a singular print over both pages were stuck together in the corner, although I imagine that's an unavoidable thing.
