I am back after skipping April to binge on Animal Crossing. And what a theme - I live in Seattle currently and San Francisco before that so I decided to look for games developed or set on the west coast of the USA. In fact, I will probably be playing Guild Wars (developed by ArenaNet in Washington) since it got new content for the 15 year anniversary, but it is not in my Steam library so I didn’t include it in the list. My brain is kinda fried from work, quarantine, and new dog, so I don’t know if I’ll get to the games listed. Plus, I just bought some games from the Golden Week sale and will probably be prioritizing them. Also Animal Crossing is still a thing.

To be honest, I’m not too happy with my list since I was looking for simpler games like puzzle or rhythm games, but I don’t know which are developed on the west coast. Maybe Crypt of the NecroDancer (looks like Vancouver so almost close enough)? Maybe something by Double Fine (around San Francisco)? Or a bigger company? I don’t think I would count Nintendo since the games are not developed here, but Pokemon Go would count (not on Steam though). Anyone have better suggestions? Something set in Seattle so I can virtually explore? I saw someone playing Watch_Dogs 2 and thought its depiction of San Francisco was pretty good! I looked at Wikipedia, which had Killer7 but I haven’t actually bought that game yet, and Deus Ex: Invisible War, but I haven’t played the first one yet and the reviews are bad. First world problems I guess :)
