It's an artbook, you get what you expect with this one. I do wish there was a bit more concept art of unused content. At times it feels a lot of the art is pulled from the game and not the drawing board. It's the same with the text, you get some new information but it's mainly retelling the story of the game we already know. The Sea of Thieves artbook (for example) is full of unused content and designs we have yet to see in the game. There aren't that many surprises in this artbook. Still, I'm glad to have it in my collection.
