Elden Ring: Official Art Book Volume I

Must have if you love Elden Ring

Very happy partner. Arrived sealed in a wrap. Just be prepared for when the driver hands it you 😂 I didn’t realise the weight.

If you like Elden Ring and are interested in the design process, you'll like this.

I think it’s brilliant. The details is incredible. It’s on the dark side but still very beautiful

Great book at a great price. Weird issue with seller - ordee marked as dispatched but royal mail tracking number provided was not recognised by RM. When queried with seller I was told the book was not available and I should cancel the order. Which I did. No refund appeared but the book did. I guess the seller needs better admin support!

I buy lots of art-books (for the games I enjoy) and these western releases were cheaper than importing the Japanese ones. In this 2 volume Elden Ring Official Art Book the inhabitants, both friendly and villainous, no matter how minor or major to the story are illustrated in great detail, as are the beautiful contrasting, diverse scenery and various weapons, trinkets and armor. My only issue is that I personally believe neither of these two hardback books can hold a candle to Dark Horse published books. Why? I'm not sure. The pages and images aren't as glossy and they just don't seem to the same standard quality wise. Would definitely still recommend.

Thankfully the pages are fine however there’s quite a deep dent on the hardcover, a thick ink line along the bottom of the pages, it’s a bit scratched and some stuff stuck to it I could get most of it off by giving it a little rub but I can’t get a little bit off the spine under the word ring bit annoyed lol

I love artbooks, but in all honesty I found this one dissapointing. The images aren't laid out very well and are quite dark, and lacking in colour. A lot of the images look more like screenshots than art. Would be nice to see early versions of environments, characters etc and how they progressed.

1. The 1st volume arrived damaged, unfortunately. To me its kind of a big deal because I collect these sort of items. 2. I own almost all FromSoft artbooks and this one is pretty similar to the DS3 quality. I gave 4 stars because: some images are pretty dark indeed (but not worse than in BB artbook), the layout sucks (but its an issue in ALL FS artbooks) and because it could benefit from more text... I dont understand why they dont fill the empty spaces with text. 3. The pages, the binding and the picture quality are pretty good imo (and I own a lot of artbooks). Its a heavy book with a lot of pages... Its expensive because of this reason. I dont think its overpriced, but I would wait for a discount before buying it (I got one preordering it).

La cantidad de trabajo que hay detrás del juego se puede apreciar con este libro. Muy buena calidad el contenido que ofrece, además de gran cantidad! Lo recomiendo

It's a waste of money, especially if you buy it from amazon since it will arrive badly damaged. It's not secured in any way at all. Ordered two volumes in two separate orders in two different day. I knew that if they'll pack it together it might get bad, that's why I decided to order separately... They still decided to send them both together. Threw them in a huge box without any bubble wrap, foil... nothing. The box was so damaged that the post office had to wrap it in foil to prevent books from falling out of it. This is ridiculous so if you REALLY badly need it - buy it ANYWHERE else but here. Amazon doesn't care about the condition of your order or you as a customer, that's a fact. Now a few words about the books. I have quite a collection of similar artbooks, and even though that the ones made by udon are not the best on the market they can be interesting (see Nioh artworks for instance). But this one? Terrible, especially for 60 usd. it's not even worth 1/3 of this price to be honest (maybe if it's not damaged like all the stuff from amazon). There's a lot of empty space, no descriptions, 90% of pages could be described as "white background and a small graphic or two in the middle". As someone else described it here - it looks like it was made in a word pad by someone that doesn't care at all about these artworks. Elden Ring is a masterpiece, all these artworks are beautiful, but these books are by far THE WORST artbooks in this price segment, or one of the worst overall (especially considering the hype around the game and that this is marked as "official" product). Shame, shame, shame... really, it could've been so much better if a person who made it cared even a little bit.

Benden daha yakışıklı.

This book was prepared for print by the company intern and it shows. The gloss of the pages is so overwhelming that the images are obscured by the glare. Most of the landscape images are so dark that you can't see any detail whatsoever and this comprises a third of the book's contents (a complete failure to adjust the images for print, as with Ghost of Tsushima). The images with visible detail were laid out so that the core features of the artwork were in the fold of the book, making the images unviewable even when they are the correct brightness. Visibility is limited to the character artwork section towards the end of the book. Whoever prepared this book should be ashamed of themselves and new editions should be immediately issued with full corrections. Edit: I have received a new book from Amazon and the print quality in this one is neither blurry nor overly dark. This means that there are ink damaged versions of this book out in the wild and if you receive a book that appears to be unreadable (you will see the words on the contents page too being overly dark as well as different images being too dark), then return it and a get a different copy. I have increased my rating to 3 stars because if you get a good copy of this book it's excellent, but it also shouldn't be a roulette experience.
