Book Review: The Art of God of War Ragnarok

The God of War is back

I still remembered playing God of War for the first time many years ago and was just mesmerised by the worlds and characters created by Santa Monica Studio. I'm still reminded of that feeling of awe each time I see art or video clips of the game. The art direction is just amazing.

This large format 240-page hardcover artbook published by Dark Horse is the companion for God of War Ragnarok which was released in November 2022.

Just like the previous God of War artbooks, this one is packed with lots of beautiful concept art. One thing I really enjoy is to see the artists interpretation of Norse mythology, lore, characters and location. It's so great to see Kratos and Atreus back again. There's also Odin, Thor, Surtr, Freya, Heimdall, creatures and monsters and more.

The artworks are absolutely beautiful and there is a lot to see. The 3D sculpts are amazingly detailed, as are most of the artworks. The text is quite sparse and just enough to give you some insight to the designs.

The game is one of the best games out there, and this artbook is one of the best video game artbooks this year.
