Overview of the collectible edition of the game "Allods Online"
*Thanks to the generosity of Kotovsky, the selflessness of Surt, and the lucky hand of Strelok89, I got my hands on the collector's edition of the game "[Allods Online](/games?search=Аллоды Онлайн)". As per the agreement with Kotovsky, I present to your attention a review of this collector's edition.*
Let's start with a discussion about the sizes of this wonderful box. Many know that I'm a rather big girl, I have a wide bone structure, and even with my dimensions, I can partially hide behind this box, which weighs even more than my cat. It feels like the collector's edition is about three or even four kilograms. And now let's see why.
The first obvious reason for the impressive weight of the Allods does not take long to reveal. It's the art book. Extracting it from the box, by the way, is quite a task. The manufacturers did a great job: apparently, considering the possibility of transportation across our vast homeland by the unfortunately well-known Russian Post, which loves to deliver parcels in such a way that you can't shake them off, they packed everything quite well. It doesn't matter whether you shake it, drop it, or jump on it - nothing will get crumpled, broken, or scattered.
Here’s the art book, with embossing on the cover, perfectly bound, and with thick pages. One downside for those who like to complain is the glossiness.
On one of the spreads of the art book closer to the end, you can find this coolness:
Moving on, under the pressure of the art book, we discover such an important piece of PC hardware as a mouse pad with a cute picture and the game's logo.
Under the mouse pad, several more delightful items are hidden. One of them is a small box, which is also sitting very snugly in the packaging, containing a surprise:
And the surprise is a keychain:
In the adjacent cavity, there's actually what all this was about. Namely, the "collector's edition". It’s worth noting that the collector's editions of many other games usually consist of just this volume:
We open it and see:
a year overdue registration card from New Disk!
In addition, we have a couple of double-sided posters:
A sad moment: this beauty was bent into submission, and these bends do somewhat spoil the beautiful picture, but the skill of the artists is still deserving of applause.
And finally, the last element - a user guide. A thick glossy brick, on the pages of which is described and shown what every regular player of the game already knows.
In conclusion of the review - a group photo:
In total, in terms of the amount of eye-pleasing content, the collector's edition of "Allods Online" is worth every gram of its weight, fully justifies its stated market price (2999 rubles), and will undoubtedly bring joy to any devoted fan.
Thank you for your attention and I wish you pleasant gaming adventures \_
