An occupational hazard of covering old video games is the inevitable moment when you encounter titles you personally covered when they were new. 90s games, sure, I was a teenager, but you’re telling me the PlayStation 3 turns 20 this year?
Put a pin in that for the inevitable $599-get-a-second-job podcast coming this fall because today we’re talking about El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, a 2011 release for the aforementioned PS3 and the Xbox 360. Once upon a time I (Diamond Feit) played this game at TGS and reviewed it for a magazine which no longer exists!
But that’s in the past…or is it tomorrow? Find out more as I talk to Shane Bettenhausen, Chris Sims, and Benito Cereno. Chris and Benito have a podcast called Apocrypals where they once discussed El Shaddai and other Bible-adjacent games; please enjoy this YouTube video where the hosts compare holy figures to their Persona 5 equivalents.
Description: Diamond Feit, Chris Sims, Benito Cerino, and Shane Bettenhausen have no problem podcasting about 2011’s biblically-adjacent El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron.
