El Shaddai demo

Date played: June 25th
Platform: Playstation 3
Time played: 20 minutes
Session fun rating: 7/10

El Shaddai has an amazing art style
Japan, you so crazy!  I tried out this demo because I was curious and it's one of the weirdest games I've played in a while.  It has a sort of Suda 51 vibe but with decent gameplay, something Suda never got right.

What stands out the most is the art style, as you can see from the image.  The gameplay is pretty simple though, it's an action game that is actually pretty close to God of War but simpler.  It's interesting that's for sure but the gameplay didn't really hook me.  It sure looks fucking awesome though.
