Have you ever read a book based on a video game?

I've read books in video games

one intended for children that was like a narrative longplay of pokemon yellow with screenshots and pokemon illustrations. I remember tracing some of the art

I read a Shadowrun book because of the FPS from 2008 on the 360. That was the first time I read a book and was actually engaged.

I read the companion novel for Deus Ex: Mankind divided that explained what happened between it and Human Revolution. Never got around to playing Mankind divided lol, tho it was nice to have some answers to the ending of HR.

No, video game writing is awful enough as is. I'm somehow not retarded enough to read an entire book on it. You can see by OP's pic that the only games that get book adaptations are crap games to begin. Any game that focuses on a narrative will naturally be awful.

>>726042450
A couple of the Halo novels are decent, and that Mass Effect clone that Hasbro is making has a tie-in novel that's pretty good (and will probably be better than the game).

i plan on reading the FFVII Remake novel about tifa and aerith
i don't even like the game

Lore autism. My school library had a copy of the Halo novel back in 07. Someone left a bunch of notes on the margins and sticky notes with extra info and game connections. Like dates and characters bios
