It's great actually.Īll pages are filled with huge detailed concept art of the characters, creatures, vehicles, spacecrafts and environments. So at times, I was thinking,'Shouldn't there be a bit more of this and that?' Having said that, this artbook is as good as it can get.

It has 192 pages and a hardcover with a nice matte surface going on. The Art of Dead Space is a wonderful concept art book for the chilling game series.
