Whatever game where USA is brought down from within thanks to internal fuckery. I think TLoU may be good candidate.
Yeah- probably my favourite "American Patriotism" game. So good.
I was at THQ when they were working on Homefront and was rooting for them. I think there was a real chance for that game to be special but alas.
Freedom Fighters is rad though.
With all the hate this game got. it had a nice depiction of Louisiana. Some serious wasted potential in this game but i enjoy the feel of the world even with all the jank.
Currently playing Mafia 3, and I can understand all the disappointment and hate the game got, but honestly? I am enjoying the game lol
The Last of Us. Love when games in a dystopia have touchstones of the society that came before.
Also love Fallout and BioShock for that reason.

Pokémon Black 2/White 2. EarthBound would also be up there. In both cases, they're not technically the US, but they're both 100% based on it, so close enough.
Deus Ex is my favourite game but the best levels in it aren't the US ones so I will pick Shadow Dancer for now.
For caricature vibe, I would go with Broforce, which is my July 4th holiday game of choice. Such a fun and funny ridiculous game. Of course, not a USA setting but a very USA! USA! vibe.
For setting, I would go with Interstate '76 on the PC. Fictional, alternate "American Southwest." Driving around the desert in muscle cars with mounted guns.
As others said, the better TMNT games in general do well with the setting, and good call on Freedom Fighters.
Need to look through my game collection for other levels to highlight.
Edit: Just thought of a couple more; The Bureau, very cool Cold War/60s Gman-American setting. And Zombies Ate My Neighbors; very Anywhere, USA town thing going.

I think Leisure Suit Larry is a true reflection of American sensibilities.
edit: keeping it tame, lol.

We joke, but technically speaking, if the whole game is just Mario's dream, then we have to assume it takes place in his bedroom in Brooklyn, USA.Obviously:
Y'all good people
The back few yeah.
