My home country doesn't have any games to be honest, a few indie games are available on Itch.io like, Key to happiness, The Curse Of Zigoris and a few more on Steam as well.
Indie game developer are trying their best to showcase their skills in the gaming industry, but they don't get any "support" in their work. Pakistan has many great professional players in games like Tekken, PUBG, but not enough games are made here.
In my Country Panama is Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling (2019) developed by Moonsprout Games What is an RPG Game very based of the Paper Mario franchise but with insects.

I agree. Among the MANY important games coming from the US , I think DooM is both the most pivotal and the most US American in its DNA. Only you guys could have produced this.
DmC: Devil May Cry. No, not DMC. It's DmC! That one! It was developed by Ninja Theory, a british team. So here in England, we brought Donte and Vorgil to life...
Ninja Theory has since been swallowed by Microsoft and now makes games for Xbox... At least that's what Google says. Can't really be sure since no one bought a new Xbox. How the mighty have fallen.
The thing is that most games published outside of the US are not based on local or representation of any kind, they are just like any other games, mind you some have tried but to very mixed results.
I will not speak for other countries but Mexico,
First and foremost there is this very big cultural distinction from north Mexico and south Mexico;
The north of Mexico is like Texas: very autonomous, lots of arid lands and very US minded, from Zacatecas which is a state and below the country becomes more green, humid and their people are very diverse culturally and socially speaking, This is where all Mayan and other indigenous cultures had roots, but not the north, albeit some indigenous cultures like the Tarahumaran's.
SO....
1) There is not even a comprehensive list of titles to be easily found on the web on Mexican developed games.
2) Most developed games are not inspired or take place on Mexico or are influenced by traditions. (although there is some outliers)
3) Some international releases have been more centered on having Mexican representation, but alas, the representation is very skewed onto the southern cultures of Mexican states.
Here are some examples.
MilitAnt: Xibalba Studios
Greak: Memories of Azure by Navegante Entertainment

Elliot quest by Ansimuz Games
Kerbal Space Program by SQUAD
PatoBox by Bromio, 2think design studio

To give you some examples, there is many more of this games that do not look Mexican but they are

Danish Playdead made Limbo and Inside, and a developer from Playdead went his own way and made Cocoon.
IOI made the Hitman series, Deadline Games made Total Overdose, and Bedtime Digital Games made Figment 1 & 2.
None of these really tap into Danish culture, but they are big international hits.
More locally we have the Danish childrens icons "Magnus & Myggen" aka Skipper & Skeeto, as well as the edutainment series Pixeline who also has a sister called Silke. Oh, and one can't forget the 90s SMASH hit that was Skærmtrolden Hugo aka Hugo the Screentroll.
