I am such an avid gamer, and I think it shows in my favourite art books this year!
1. Art Of Overwatch
Absolutely wonderful, not only visually but to see how character and concepts are developed and changed from idea to execution (and continue developing even right now!).
2. Bloodborne Official Artworks
Beautiful, haunting, macabre. I love being able to see how characters and bosses are fleshed out conceptually, which can be sometimes difficult to discern when playing in-game (especially when they are moving fast to kill you, haha.)
3. The Art of Horizon Zero Dawn
I love the blend of technology with natural concepts, especially the machines. I completely bought into the game and the game-world when I got hooked, and seeing how the artists and designers designed intelligently with the backstory and history of the world of HZD in mind was amazing.
