This was GREAT!

I've been playing adventure games since 1990, I started with Kings Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, then on to Monkey Island, Longest Journey, and all the other adventure games in between (even Future Wars! Still waiting for that one GOG!). And since The Longest Journey, no adventure game has really had that 'spark', the kind of experience I used to enjoy when experiencing Monkey Island 1 and 2; so I just chalked it up to me being older and grew out of it. I am amazed that Wet Dreams Don't Dry came out in 2018, how on Earth did this pass me by for 2 years? I was a bit let down by the LS1 remake recently, so I was skeptical about this one but since I am an avid adventure gamer, and I collect them, I was going to bite my lip and try it out. Within minutes of playing I had a REALLY good feeling, it was all falling into place, the music, the in-jokes, how Larry is brought into our times as a means to bring Larry back sensibly, the graphic style, voiceover, the puzzles are sensible but just hard enough that you have to think, it all works so well. I am having a very good time playing this game. I hope CrazyBunch don't stop making adventure games - they have what it takes to get it right, they just need more exposure and maybe better marketing (2 years!!). While playing, I hoped they would make a second one and I see that they have, so I am excited to get it. Thank you so much for bringing not just Larry back, but that fun aspect of adventure gaming, it really has been missing. Lastly, to the other reviewer who mentioned having to go back and forward running errands - that's what adventure games used to be like and it was fine; adventure games can't be too linear or it gets pointless quick.

A Big Disapointment

I usually do not post reviews, I believe that is wrong to be overcritical of the hard work of the development team, we must not forget that most of the time they have to sacrifice a lot of creativity in order to satisfy other criteria such as political correcteness, making the title available to younger audiences etc. But both my disappointment and my dear wish to see more titles in the larry series force me to give some, Constructive I hope, critisism. The story is bot bad but very sort. The content has lost its larryness, it is not edgy enough. As for the tinder like app ... words fail me. I did not feel that it was a bad purchase but certainly I was left unsatisfied

A love letter to the 80s most notorious lady's man.

I liked the old games, up from Larry 1 to Larry 7. They all were politically incorrect, had dirty (and infantile) humor, and fun locations and situations. This newest edition has it too. Of course there are now hot girls with weird sexual preferences, gay people, hipster people, drag queens, smartphones, computers with more than 64 kb of RAM. And the game has fun with all of that! It's refreshing and a nice time travel back to the 80s, a time where everything was possible and not every second person so easily offended. Also, the game, as politically incorrect as it is, never shows an evil side or delves into hate speech. It just pokes fun at it. The puzzles are usually good, with enough subtle hints how to solve what. There are a few moon logic puzzles, but they are rare. So overall a good sequel to one of the true heroes of computer game history. Oh, and you can't die. Thank god! Even if you die you can start over where it happened, like in Larry 6. Great!

Much Closer to the LSL I Remember

Time to Complete: 10 hrs Review: 4 out of 5 stars Much Closer to the LSL I Remember Than the Last Two Atrocities This felt like a classic leisure suit larry game and stayed true to the franchise. The jokes were funny again, the references witty, and the point and click style stayed true to form. I thoroughly enjoyed this title. Solid art style and fairly decent writing made this a pleasure to play. The lack of easter eggs and fan service was a little disappointing however, LSL has never truly been about pornography. I did like finding the tidbits of pixelated nudity and that added to the fun of the game for me. All in all, this was a great point and click adventure game and I would definitely recommend this title to fans of the series as well as new players. Note: Played on an alternate platform.

Larry 2.0 ?!

For everyone that is looking for a flashback to the good old Al Lowe days, you may get disappointed. This game differs a lot from what we used to know as LSL and his sleazy 80's humour. But this isn't all bad. What they did is bring Larry to modern times with the internet, cam girls, online dating and hipsters. This game shows how Larry would fit into a modern world that differs a lot from the golden LSL days while managing to critique the quirks and superficialities of our modern times in a funny way. Once you see the logo of the hip cellphone company is a big prune that coincidentally looks like the female body part, you feel right at home. Larry manages to adapt fast to the vegan hipsters that want a polaroid or the superficial influencers that are all about the likes and followers. Naturally some jokes and riddles don't really fit into a classic LSL game. But Al Lowe showed with his last remake of Larry 1 that it is possible to adapt LSL to modern times. For some jokes you need to be a bit older or are familiar with the meme scene (f.e. rewinding a cassette with a pencil). So what does happen in the game? You meet various women and try to bed them. Like in every Larry Game this requires to get some specific items and solve some puzzles. And also like in every Larry game in the end something goes wrong. ### SPOILER ### The one thing that disappoints me, is the finale. There is no real happy end. Larry does not get a girl, he more or less settles into the modern tinder lifestyle. This is not what Larry was all about. Larry was always out to find love (and sex along the way) not cheap sex. This game was made in Germany. The graphics are solid but a bit different like LSL used to look (even in the last remake). Feels like the last Monkey Island. The voices are great! In english you get the original voice from LSL! In german you get the german voice of Barney Stinson from HIMYM. The voice actors do a great job. Shoutout to Uke Bosse (Gameone) as the german cop!
