Feels Like Summer

Games that remind me of summer or that I feel like playing in the summertime. A lot of these games have sunny or tropical settings or levels but others have less obvious connections.

Final Fantasy X

I loved all the warm and coastal locations in the game. Especially Besaid, Kilika, and Luca. The blitzball minigame always made me want to go swimming.
Final Fantasy X-2

The same tropical, watery setting as its predecessor but with a lighter story and more wacky shenanigans.

This was one of my favorite games as a kid and the triumphant ending of Return of the Jedi felt really fitting at the end of a school year. At the start of summer I would usually play through the whole story mode.

I played this shit so much in the spring and summer after it's release. I have so many good memories from that time.

This one is pretty different from the others but I played it a LOT over one summer. It was the epitome of cool to me and I was obsessed with the soundtrack.
