![]() ![]() While this approach doesn’t seem too complicated for cities like Whiterun from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (which has tons of flushed out in-game lore and is fully explorable to players), covering a beat-em-up city like Metro City from Final Fight or racing backdrop Olympic City from Need For Speed Underground are a different story. ![]() Each of the 45 cities covered throughout the book is described from an in-universe perspective. If you were lucky enough to get into the crowd-funded version you are getting something that looks altogether different and I am jealous of you all! The information contained within the pages of Virtual Cities is conveyed in an interesting way and one I didn’t think would come off as good as it did. Just a side note here, my impressions are all based upon the retail version of Virtual Cities that is available as of November 10, 2020. Compared to some other hardcover books I have bought recently, Virtual Cities feels very premium, which is exactly how I like all of my video game related items! Cyber Manhunt For this hardcover release, the 214 pages have a good thickness and feel with a strong binding holding it all together. A short bio for Dimopoulos and Kallikaki can be found just beneath this, giving us insight into the minds that brought this book to life. Moving on to the back cover we have a number of illustrations of the cities contained within the book and a nice outline of what it is about. As most of you all hopefully know by now, I love it when a cover gives an excellent representation of what it contains inside and Virtual Cities does exactly that! Virtual City Playground HD proves that not every game should go freemium. The subtext for this being a video game atlas is also proudly displayed along with author Konstantinos Dimopoulos’ name. Yes I know, you aren’t supposed to judge a book by its cover, but when it looks good I want to take a minute to appreciate it! The base cover is pure white and accented with a red and black overhead map with the Virtual Cities title taking center stage.
