I've always found myself drawn to the intricate details and nuances of video game art, considering it an integral part of the broader experience games offer. The moment I laid my hands on Game Art, a comprehensive collection of art from over 40 video games accompanied by insightful interviews, I knew I was in for a delightful journey. The aesthetic allure of video games has often played second fiddle to gameplay and narrative.
