Still Beautiful, Still Kind of Bad I'm only leaving a positive review because the game called me "Best Player" in the credits. I've been having a hard time of it, and flattery will get you everywhere with me. El Shaddai is a creative, psychedelic, ambitious and visually gorgeous 7th gen disappointment, that balances cool ideas with ass ideas in about equal measure. Based on a non-canonical (well, unless you're a member of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church) book of the Bible, El Shaddai sees you play as the prophet and heavenly scribe Enoch, here reimagined as a Brad Pitt-looking twunk in fancy jeans, who is tasked by heaven to capture seven Fallen Angels who have holed up in a pocket dimension where they can play God as they see fit. The basic set-up should be a slam-dunk of simple, yet evocative storytelling: 7 Angels, 7 Levels of the Tower, 7 Realms, 7 Boss Fights, 7 Aspects of Human Nature the angels become obsessed with without ever truly being able to grasp them, 7 Brides for 7 Brothers... it should be pretty simple. Unfortunately, El Shaddai seeks to complicate the narrative while lacking the time and resources to fully execute on even the most simple and basic form of the story. As a result, the narrative is meandering, poorly-explained, unengaging and just kind of baffling and dull. It's not terrible. It certainly has some hype moments and no shortage of great ideas. It just doesn't really work. Gameplay is similarly undercooked. El Shaddai is a hack and slasher in the vein of Devil May Cry or God of War (though Lollipop Chainsaw and Knight's Contract are perhaps better comparisons in terms of depth...) that mixes simple, but overall fun enough combat with platforming that is either piss-easy or kind of bad. Gameplay would be decent enough to support an actually good story, save for some bizarre decisions, such as locking basic HUD displays as a completion bonus, having the collectables you pick up throughout the game seemingly do nothing and having the bosses pop up to harass you in battles that carry no weight and rob the eventual real encounters of any weight. Where the game really, genuinely does shine is it's visuals and music. The levels are all unique, trippy, abstract realms of colour and texture completely unlike anything you've seen outside of maybe REZ. The characters and enemies also have an eerie, geometric feel to them, more reminiscent of High Modern Art than standard fantasy or Sci-Fi. At it's best, it feels like Picasso, Miro and Taro Okamoto got together and decided to make a BLAME! adaptation. At its worst, it's still very nice to look at. Overall, El Shaddai is too unique to give a thumbs-down (also it was nice to me in the credits and maybe it will be to you, too), though I advise you to proceed at your own risk. It could be your next favourite cult-classic, or it could be a complete waste of time to you.

This game is very special, there is nothing out there quite like it. It feels like playing through a very nice dream. Just like how a dream keeps shifting, no two levels in the game are the same, but it never feels wrong or strange. I won't be forgetting this game anytime soon! Play this game! (specially if you enjoy games like Devil May Cry).

Sublime. Now I don’t say I will understand the meaning behind water purification from evil but I can bow for this game. Its one of those game that should be in everyone’s library and be played and replayed consensually until you will be reborn. This game will borrows so much from Biblical stories and will fully unravels itself by the end. It follows the steps of third person action game bined with fluid platforming. Interesting it felt more like Bayoneta and yours truly the incarnation of mirror Dante’s inferno. I would say I takes more of that than anything. If only we could be redeemed with pity to have Dante’s inferno on steam then the full circle would be completed in many ways. You’re Enoch and you are trying to return fallen angels with a help of Lucifer. Now this is not as much as complicated than one call from heaven. But believe me you will be tested with the circles of darkness and pain. Some of the names will be familiar some of them will be more esoteric. It truly is you need a knowledge and knowledge you will be given. El Shaddai does and excellent job navigating you through religion themes and being as just a game a the same time. Its kinda hard to explain it but it works. One can attest you this game is absolute gorgeous. Its to beautiful to yours and my eyes. The art style made from a sun and rain and sheltered into hands of creator. Its by far one of the prettiest games I saw in along time. Deus Omnipotens

El Shaddai is nearly a hidden gem and needs to be played by everyone , I used to play this game when I had xbox 360 , I was never able to complete the game properly but now i I bought the game on steam and I ddidn't know about the pc port , This game is fancy and best combat mechanics , this game is really ahead of it's time . No other game has multi genre shift like this and very unique of it's elements and ignore the title , it's just doesn't make sense what the game is based on but I still Loved it and 9/10 and i Love lore drop like this . The combat is enjoyable at first, especially with the weapon-switching system, but it can become repetitive over time. The platforming also feels awkward in places, mostly because of the camera and stiff movement. That’s probably the biggest reason people end up loving the atmosphere more than the actual gameplay. My first time with El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, and honestly it feels like a forgotten gem. The art direction is incredible, every stage looks like a moving painting. The combat is fun and stylish, even if it gets repetitive later on. It’s not perfect, but the atmosphere, music, and strange beauty of this world make it memorable. It’s a shame more people don’t talk about this game, because it has a unique identity that still stands out today and one day I will 100% this game and complete on hard mode .

I don't do drugs so this is the next best thing. Also, it's actually an unfinished game and there's a novel unlocked ala Xenogears Perfect Work to explain the ending planned for the game, make sure to read it.
