Neon Drive

• Genre: Music/Rhythm... Driving, sort of.
• Time Played: >4 hours.
• Too Short/Long: It could have more content, but for as difficult as it is, maybe it's not necessary.
• Pleased/Disappointed: Pleased, generally speaking, a bit disappointed at the end/last level.
• Why I played: The synthwave soundtrack and aesthetic
• Recommend to others: Not really, unless someone specifically mentions they like games that you have to repeatedly do the same thing over and over again until you succeed. VVVVVV, Celeste, Fighting Sans in Undertale, The Impossible Game, are some I think of off the top of my head.

Neon Drive is a pretty cool music game that has you shift lanes based off blocks in your path, at first it might not even seem like it's really a music game, just that it plays music, but then you realize you are specifically moving to the beat or melody of the music, in some fashion. 

Breath of Fire 2

• Genre: Turn-Based RPG
• Time Played: Doesn't track time, best guess is about 45+ hours.
• Too Short/Long: Honestly too long, as much as I love it, it could benefit from cutting out some unnecessary backtracking, a run button, and lowering the base encounter rate - or at least it's encounter reducing items could be more effective.
• Pleased/Disappointed: Very Pleased, always. This is one of my favorite games of all time.
• Why I played: This isn't the first time I finished Breath of Fire 2, but I barely remembered so much off the top of my head. Things came back to me immediately as I played, but I was missing it from my immediate recall.
• Recommend to others: It's hard not to recommend one of my favorite games of all time, but it's very much an early 90's JRPG and I feel like you need to know that and want to experience that before going in.

Breath of Fire 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, and I was worried this playthrough was going to change it, since I felt like I could remember so little going in. Even roughly 25 years since I first played it, I still love this game. To be fair, it was very nostalgic for me, I played it both on SNES and GBA, but this time I opted for the SNES version since it's on the SNES service on the Switch.

The SNES version is a bit rougher, especially in the translation department, but it's mostly the same experience. I would probably recommend someone playing it the first time to play the GBA version if they can, just because of some of the really rough translation issues with the SNES version.
