Review
Insight did an outrageous work with this book; itand#8217;s actually one of the prettiest looking videogame books Iand#8217;ve ever opened. From start to finish the book will offer information about the world of Sanctuary, its complete history, biographies from the people that live in it, and the demons that threaten it. To accompany every biography, there is a gorgeous illustration made by Blizzard. Insightand#8217;s website doesnand#8217;t do justice to this book; every page looks quite different to what it looks like in the site. It has been a completely different experience from what I was expecting.
Insight managed to capture the dark atmosphere of the series in this 147 page book, and will give new players and fans of the series an amazing source for Diabloand#8217;s story. I definitely recommend this book for every single fan of the Diablo series, you will not regret spending your cash in it, and even if you are not a fan of the series, you should check what this book has to offer. and#151;Just Push Start
