Why is that

Well why would you go to heaven and back? Also isn't El Shaddai literally that?

In El Shaddai you start in Heaven but mainly travel through pre-flood Earth.

It's pretty easy to depict Hell, but it's pretty hard to depict Heaven.
>>
>>736987781
it's as simple as demons being traditionally portrayed as evil, so demons make good antagonists and fodder for the player to slaughter, and they're associated with hell. angels in heaven are traditionally good and harder to justify having the player kill, plus when you do make them bad guys it makes Christians seethe and you don't want to alienate that big of a playerbase.

there's still a decent number of games where you go to heaven or a heaven analogue though, plenty of jrpgs for example.

Doom Eternal sort of did it in an incredibly half-hearted and gay sort of way.

Never happened
Videogames prefer hell to heaven because hell has demons to kill, it's only "cool" if you're a demonslaying demigod

Scud at an interesting take on Heaven.

Earth was created to make Stuff for Heaven. Not just water and plants, but stuff like computers and TVs and cars too. The plan was always to let humans go until they reached maximum stuff, then usher in the apocalypse. Hell gets most of the souls, Heaven gets the stuff.

Then, God changed his mind. He liked humans. He went back on the deal. He wanted humans to be able to live without interference and forge their own fate.

The angels begged him to go back to the original plan, and when he refused, they rebelled. They couldn't kill God, so they locked him up.

The final conflict resolves around trying to free God before the angels jumpstart doomsday.

That's a scenario I'd wanna play in a video game.

Jade Empire has that heaven-like area with the sexy fox chicks.
Doesn't part of Diablo 3 take place in heaven?
