Bad adventure game logic and weak jokes

When playing point and click logic you have to take things in stride, realize it's a game with silly characters doing absurd things. Sometimes the puzzles are weird and defy logic, but they at least make sense within the context of the game world. This is all too often not the case in Wet Dreams Don't Dry. I cannot count the number of times I screamed in frustration "that was the solution?" So many of the puzzles lack any form of context or hint and the only way to discover them is by mashing items with eachother or with the scenery. This is an adventure game sin, and just poor design. To add insult to injury the game only has jokes that will offend the smallest number of people, and can be boiled down to: "Wow that's silly isn't it? roll your eyes now!" or "Look! An internet stereotypes!" The supposedly raunchy humor is overall a disappointment. Yes a few made me chuckle, but for the most part it all felt more in line with school yard shock value as opposed to actual adult jokes. Check out the original Leisure Suit Larry games instead, you're not missing anything here.

A solid Leisure Suit Larry game

Leisure Suit Larry (LSL) Wet Dreams Don't Dry had big shoes to fill when compared to the previous games in the series. For me, LSL 7 (Love For Sail) was the "actual" last game in the series that pushed the story of Larry Laffer forwards. Wet Dreams Don't Dry does a great job of introducing Larry to a newer audience, while also giving older fans of the series something new to sink their teeth into. This game is beautiful. The team at Assemble did a great job at making sure that the visuals are clean and cohesive, the animation and sound is good. and the game is entertaining and fun to play. It took some time for me to get used to seeing Larry as a tall person with a head that matched his body. Now I cannot imagine Larry looking any different. Personally, the only real issues that hindered my experience were a few frustrating puzzles that had me back tracking to the same locations numerous times because it was not clear enough what I needed to do next to progress further which forced me to click on everything I could until the correct item or combination of items were clicked and an odd bug where in game events would not trigger always trigger. I recommend this game if you are a Leisure Suit Larry fan or are looking for an out of the ordinary adventure game.

Nice Point and Click Adventure

I didn't play the old Larry games (definitely too young for that ^^). So I am rating this simply as a "stand alone" game and won't compare it to the older games. It made me laugh a lot. It is really silly and cheesy - in a good way. The puzzles are fairly easy, so if you are looking for a adventure that twists your brain that game isn't for you. I like the comic graphics and the -again- really cheesy background music. This game is for you if you like: - adventures similar to deponia - silly penis jokes - a lot of nerd culture references. Reading the other comments, this game is not for you if you expect a copy of the Larry-Games from the 90s.

Not good, but not horrible either.

This is a mediocre entry in the LSL game list. They at least TRIED where two other titles in LSL didn't even bother. I know writing an adventure game is not easy. But they made a couple jokes of the absolute random weird things you have to do in adventure games, but than THEY keep doing it. Along with, throughout the story they constantly dump you off with little to no clue what your supposed to do next. And almost every quest is yet another grocery list. In a MMORPG you would call it lazy game design. Grocery getter missions in a adventure game is sub-par. I don't call going to the store an adventure. The humor is fair. Most of the content will mildly amuse, and there is as many chuckles as there is totally failed to deliver jokes. To summarize, this is the first LSL game that I have not finished. In order to finish it I would need to follow constantly a walk-through.. at which point why bother with the game and just read the walk-through. BUT i'm not feeling ripped off. I did get a few minutes of entertainment, but I would rather do something else than to finish this game.

Parody puns is the lowest form of wit

tl;dr: passable point-and-click adventure game, a little over 10 hours including the epilogue chapter. The logic of some puzzles is definitely a bit of a stretch, but it's to be expected in the genre. I almost gave the game 2 stars because of the groanworthy puns on names of celebrities and popular products or services. More detailed opinion: I appreciate the sleazier-than-life aesthetic, with suggestive shapes, litter and gooey substances everywhere. The art-style may be rather simplistic but at least it's striking and consistent with the mood. The writing in the game was more miss than hit for me, to the point where I actually considered giving the game a 2-star rating. It put me in mind of the weaker aspects of the "social commentary" type of humour/parody in GTA4 and 5. The writing is even more blunt and overreliant on bad puns, in this game's case mostly on names of celebrities and popular products or services (Freddy Quicksilver, PiPhone, Instacrap, Timber, Unter, etc.)
