Very much enjoyed my time with Hands-On Unity Game Development. I think no matter if you are a veteran within Unity or a beginner, you can read this book, go through it step by step, and by the end, you'll have enough of a grasp on all the major Unity concepts that you'll be able to make anything you want. If you are new to Unity and a book learner, this is the best starting point by far.

This book is both comprehensive as it is expansive. It progressively covers all topics needed to successfully design, develop, build, and deploy games using Unity. The authors have done a stellar job in explaining the often times difficult concepts and know-how with such ease and their mastery in the Unity game engine really shows through this book. All the hands-on portions of the book (pretty much the entire book!) have been methodically thought-out, designed, and streamlined from beginning to end with impeccable flow and exceptional clarity. Most importantly, with the right level and amount of challenges, it keeps the readers engaged throughout. The authors have also taken the time to explain and/or provide additional resources for related concepts crucial to understanding game development (i.e., 3D core concepts, OOP, computer hardware etc.) to the readers where necessary, providing a strong foundation for anyone starting out in this industry.I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it to teachers/instructors as well as students who are looking for the ONE Unity book they can start teaching and/or learning Unity from. This book isn't just for beginners, even if you are a seasoned Unity developer, I guarantee you will learn many new techniques. This is one book you will keep reaching back for time and again.
