Has any game ever portrayed Heaven? I know that Hell has been portrayed plenty of times, but I can't think of any times Heaven has.
Bonus points if it's a more classical interpretation of Heaven.

I've never played any of these games, but I presume that Heaven is either a boss fight or a level on its own.
I think it'd be really cool if a video game tried an ending where the protagonist died and went to Heaven. Could make for an emotional ending if done right, too.

You see Heaven in SMT:Strange Journey as well, in an ending cutscene. It consists of every human being on Earth on top of their own pillar coming out of an infinite white haze where all they can do is kneel and pray to YHVH for eternity. Because the Abrahamic god in SMT games is a moustache-twirling pure evil.
The SMT scale from Satan - Humanity - God is basically Chaotic Evil - Totally Radical - Lawful Evil

Yeah, the ending of Disgaea 1 at least takes place in heaven.
Here's something very minor, but still: How about in the (unfinished) foundonthetape ARG/Half-Life mod series, where an ending for what was released involved falling, hitting the ground, and then hearing an angelic choir come in as the screen faded to white.

DS1 final boss fight took place on some remaining part of the Black Throne. Closest I think the series has come to letting the player get near heaven has been Lostlight, and even that's just an outpost. Beyond that, I recall heaven itself merely being seen in flashbacks, given (re)entry has been barred even to the Hellguard, stranding them to fight demons for a century or so on Earth after the fall of man.

Eden is indeed similar to what one might imagine heaven to look, what with the trees and water and architecture there, but at the same time, I recall there being something said that a lot of angels and demons don't believe it to exist anymore, and those that actually both know of it's existence and how to get there are extremely limited. I don't think it's sealed in heaven, but given that it was those from heaven that hid it away, wherever it actually exists might purposely invoke that sort of imagery. Maybe some sort of pocket-space that only a select few can access like Azrael.

Nah, the closest DS1 got to Heaven is War going to Eden; which is basically a vacuole realm set aside by the Creator for humanity's use when he was still around. Besides, heaven in Darksiders is basically Angel homeworld, no humans, souls etc around. DS2 is the same, closest the protag gets to Heaven is an isolated research outpost.

Well there IS one ending of Disgaea where the protag kills himself out of guilt at being unable to save someone and is back in hell__ as a low-tier minion/servant to the new dark lord.
It's not really what you want, but you should just play Disgaea.
Doomguy dies, goes to hell, and kicks its ass so hard they let him leave. Pretty sure Kratos does that a few times too.
BIT.TRIP Flux is actually pretty close to what you want. If you're not familiar with BIT.TRIP, the whole series is an abstract metaphor for human existence. The 6 games are set during 6 points of one man's life. Flux, the last game, is set after the series protagonist dies. The cutscenes and visual metaphors deal with the fact that he is dead and gone. It also has the most emotional game over screen is ever seen.

The "outer" planar "wheel" of the classic "spherical" D&D cosmology has multiple neighboring heavens, each infinite in size, absorbing souls from an infinite number of worlds, and subject to regular meddling or invasion from other planes, so it's a bit of a shame they've never been explored in vidya before 4e and to a lesser extent 3e/5e shat all over it, though some came pretty close (Ps:T & MotB in particular).

Elysium was reserved strictly for the greatest legendary heroes and closest buttbuddies of the gods, while Tartarus was the exclusive fate of the most monstrous villains and those who had particularly pissed off the gods. The overwhelming majority of souls were destined for the Lethe, whose waters erased their lives, from whence they went on (depending on the version) to either be reincarnated as newborns, or to slumber eternally. That last version is somewhat similar to the traditional Jewish afterlife, "Gehenna", a gray, dusty infinite tomb, where the souls of all the dead while away eternity in sleep, insubstantial and forgetful.
The infantile concept of divine naughty and happy places where all the bad and good children are sent after life based on a flawless naughty/nice list, judged over by omniescent Dad and Mom, is one original to young derivitive religions like Christians and Moslems. Both of which, uncoincidentally, originated as personality cults.
