Funhouse 'Merica: slightly off reflections of the US from foreign developers

AKA Bobson Dognutt the genre

some of these are way more prescient and scathing and hysterical than a lot of homegrown commentary and some are really confused / stoopid / utterly bizarre but I always think this sort of thing is interesting!!!!

for big multi sequel franchises like Silent hill/Resident evil I just included the title I personally feel channels 'merica the hardest/strangest

If you wanna add more wild west stuff, Gunmen's Proof and Samurai Western would be good. And I haven't played it, but Tengai Makyou 4 seems to be a great fit too.
Also, Dog's Life, weirdly enough. You wander around approximations of various styles of american towns/cities.
