The three essential blasphemies of contemporary gaming:
First-person shooters where you gun down angels
RPGs where you kill God at the end
Metroidvanias where you fight the Pope
I am not knowledgeable in the noble art of pope fighting and the only game I've played featuring it wasn't a metroidvania, but given the post's phrasing I take it this is a common thing?
Blasphemous (2019) is almost certainly responsible for popularising the trope via its final (non-DLC) boss fight (spoilers for the bad ending, if you care), though it's been imitated here and there since. The forthcoming Silent Planet - Elegy of a Dying World showcases a very promising Pope fight in its latest teaser trailer (skip to 0:38 if you're impatient), and the current demo for Being and Becoming features an excellent fight with an evil nun (gameplay footage – nun at 1:33), so I'm hopeful for a proper Pope fight in the full game.
Also what are some fps games where you fight angels? The only one that comes to mind is ultrakill. Most other popular entries like the New Blood fps catalogue and classic FPS games like Blood and Doom have you fighting demons pretty exclusively.
Just generally games in the FPS genre are far more often aligned with demon killing as opposed to angels.
Doom Eternal (2020), most obviously. Yes, the "angels" are technically alien cyborgs, but the demons in the Doom franchise are technically aliens too, so it counts.
(That one goes the extra mile blasphemy-wise by pulling a sort of reverse Gnostic thing and revealing that its Satan analogue is the true author of Creation, while the usurping demiurge who imprisoned him is theoretically the good guy!)
