Leading up to Christmas, the Daily Reaction duo of Seb and Dan take the latest addition to the Twelve Days of Christmas song and write about it. Today, it’s “two turtle doves”, so we’ll discuss religion in games and whether anything should be off limits.

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Presenting El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron to a new audience and preserving it for future generations is a great thing, especially considering its cult status. Whether that audience will enjoy it is another matter entirely. Due to its cryptic storytelling, repetitive combat, and clumsy platforming, it doesn't quite escape the orbit of mediocrity. Still, there's a lot to admire, including exciting boss battles, impressive production design, and powerful music. If nothing else, it's an ambitious game with a singular vision. And that's something to celebrate."
Its a pretty cool game. i have the 360 version but Id buy the switch to play on the go.
"The Tokyo-based (Japan) indie games developer crim Co., Ltd., today announced with gret joy and thrill that their unique third-person action adventure "El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster", is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It's good to see this legend get a second chance.
Glad to see someone is willing to talk about the subject at least.
I don't think anything should be off limits. "it's either all ok, or none of it is"
Video games, as an art form, should have no limits.
I still need to play El Shaddai. I've heard a lot of great things about it.
Well i don't think there's much that hasn't been used already. In fact, religious alien zealots declaring genocide on humanity is getting a little cliche. I find that a lot of games, as wells as movies, take the route of making the enemy a crazed religious race so they don't have to come up with something more creative to explain to the audience why the enemy is evil.
