Concluding the review
This art book features not only the contents of Dark Souls 2, but also dark ambience of the game. Images of backgrounds and monster designs exuding the dark ambience are pretty interesting and unique to enjoy. The thing is that there are no concept images of classes of characters, even though this art book features the contents of action RPVG. It’s a shame that there are no game images in this art book, but it’s still worth to purchase, if you prefer the dark ambient art images, or like Dark Souls 2, since this art book contains dark ambient art images of Dark Souls 2, and contents of DLC of Dark Souls 2.
