A great artbook with many fantastic pieces of flora, fauna and concept sketches for the game. Never played the game this book is for though I will definetly try!
by Mike
R J Palmer’ art is as stunning as ever, and the researchers have clearly kept up to date (as of the date of publication, anyway). The game may have flopped, but the book is well worth getting in any case.
by Zach Bromfield
The game is still not fully out, yet the developers have gone above and beyond to provide an artistic and scientifically accurate guide to the environment in which a few recognisable dinosaurs lived plus some ones I hadn’t seen before, their evolutionary family cage, the plants they lived with and ate and the behaviours they exhibited. Each dinosaurs gets two to four pages devoted to its background with a lot of sketches, images and size comparison during its four stages of development from hatchling to adulthood.
Book arrived in perfect condition and even though I don’t play the game, I will cherish it as a beautifully created dinosaur book made by an enthusiastic team who consulted the right experts to help bring this vision of hell creek to life. There is even a fan art submission section at the end which shows a nice collection of images including of the old feathered t-rex design before they updated it to the version you see on the cover and within the book.
Provides content more on the image side than the textual side but the diagrams and size comparisons help bring this location in the Late Cretaceous to life.
