Wasted potential

I was looking forward to play this game, even if it had some mixed reviews. But I usually don't give a **** about "this is not MY Larry. Every sequen s***" reviews. But really, with the game coming from a land that's so proud of it's comedy culture I expected some better script writing. Dammit, even public TV shows there have better writing. The game has it's moments, like the first half of the Piphone presentation. And for a while it DID feal like the old Larry games, but more often than not I found myself asking myself: Who of them thought this line/pun/gag/joke to be funny? And why didn't the others tell him/her, that he/she was wrong? It could have been so good to have a dinosaur from the 80s walking through the modern world, but they limited that to some bad word plays. If you want to know how it's done right, go and watch Austin Powers. The gameplay is ok, I found the idea good, that for example to find the guitar you have to ask your way around to trace it's way. The whole Tinder thing is just plain annoying (and except for maybe 5 or 6 entries they are NOT funny). If the entries were at least sorted you would know when you have seen everything. Almost every item gets consumed once you use it. Why do you lose a coin if you use it to unscrew some screws? On the tecnical side ... try showing someone a certain doll ... do you see that somewhere on the screen while handing it over? No? That's why you hardly ever see anything on the screen while using it or handing it over. That's just lazy. Tinder is bugged, always opens with the wrong page. It looks as if page 2 is active, but it really is page 1, so you have to click on the page 2 button to go on. Once at the beginning it happened that Larry was on the wrong location on the screen, so everything he interacted with was misplaced. But that happened only once. OK, so they tried. It's a "ok" game, but sadly not more.

Der Typ im Anzug ist wieder auf Tour...

Passt auf eure Höschen auf, Mädels! Larry Laffer ist wieder in der Stadt, der wohl sympathischste Verlierer der späten 80er. Und die Zeit hat es gut mit Larry gemeint. Vorbei die Zeit, wo er kleiner als alle anderen ist. Schlacksig und hochgewachsen ist er doch ein ganzes Stück größer, als wir ihn in Erinnerung hatten. Auch für Larry ist dies ein ungewohntes Umfeld, hat er doch alles an Technik verpasst. Smartphones? Unter-Taxis? Timber? Was ist ein Internet? Und USB-Sticks sind wohl neumodische Disketten, ja? Doch schnell findet sich genug Motivation, sich in dieser Welt zurecht zu finden. Faith, die scheinbar rechte Hand vom Prune-Boss ist seine Angebetete in diesem Spiel. Doch will die von Larry nichts wissen, ehe er nicht mindestens eine Timber-Wertung von 90 Punkten hat. Nach einer knappen Erklärung erfährt er dann, dass die von der Qualität und der Häufigkeit sexueller Zusammenkünfte mit etwaigen Herren und Damen abhängt. Für Larry ist das Ziel gesteckt: Wenn er die halbe Stadt verführen und durch das Bett scheuchen muss, um sich in Faith's Augen als würdig zu erweisen, dann soll es so sein! Doch bis dahin ist es noch ein langer Weg und Larry muss in alter Manier auch so manche Schmach und manchen Rückschlag erleiden, bis er dann seine Angebetete überzeugen kann. Und Larry hat bis dahin eine Vielzahl von Charakteren zu treffen, die mehr oder weniger bereit sind, ihm zu helfen. Darunter finden sich auch einige Vertreter der LGBTQ Community, Hipster, Nerds und mehr. Lacher sind garantiert, Bei einer netten Soja-Latte (He, he... Latte...) streift Larry durch die Stadt, ruiniert Träume für manche, um anderen die Träume zu verwirklichen. Unanständig und schlüpfrig und nie um eine freche Antort verlegen. Auch wenn dieses Abenteuer nicht von der Meisterhand von Al Lowe ist, so macht es Hunger auf mehr. Kein perfektes Larry, aber schon mal dicht dran. Mehr davon!

Okay little game

This was an okay little game. I enjoyed the sexual puns and the making fun of our current society, even tough I did find the humor a bit too juvenile at times. It was fun to play Larry again in a classic point-and-click fashion and the voice acting (aside from Larry himself) was pretty well done. Better, in fact, than in a AAA game like Skyrim. That being said, I absolutely hated Larry's over the top silly voice. I understand this was done deliberately, but I just hated it. And the puzzles in this game, like in most adventure games, were very bad. The usual moon logic clicking-on-everything-until-it-works fare is present here, although towards the end of the game things get incredible easy. Also bad was the story. Why is there even a story here in the first place? If it was just Larry trying to get laid it would have been better because the overarching story was poorly done and made no sense at all. As far as it's adult nature goes, it was all very tame. Larry games in the past have been raunchier and I think this could have been a little more raunchy as well. Also the cartoon style of the ladies didn't really making things more 'erotic'. In fact the girls in the original "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards" actually looked more appealing. I would only recommend this game for nostalgic reasons and some fun (sexual) humor. As far as gameplay is concerned it fails and it's ultimately an entirely forgettable little game.

Genuinely entertaining and not overdone

This reboot of the titular Leisure Suit Larry features a charming art style and point-and-click adventure gameplay that never get too frustrating. It's absolutely brilliant to just have Larry appear inexplicably in the modern age. His escapades translate perfectly into some cute tongue-in-cheek satire as he tries his hand at online dating. Gameplay-wise, many of the common issues from Sierra games-past are solved: you can never enter an unwinnable state and the game conveniently offers to highlight interactive items. Dying brings you right back so there is no penalty if you want to experiment. Almost all the puzzles in the game have varying levels of hints. A plus is there is minimal moon logic. However, most of the game is a fetch quest for items other characters specifically ask for. Many of the remaining puzzles almost solve themselves. It's still entertaining, but less ingenuity is required than other adventure games. It mainly rewards careful observation and good memory. The sex jokes aren't as overdone as in the sequel. I surely laughed out loud, especially on one particular date. The satire is paced well enough not to get stale. The game generally runs well on WIndows 10. There are a few minor bugs and typos but nothing that detracts from the experience. The Overall, a decent game that definitely gets better as you get into it. It's a fun experience, but not exactly a must-play.

Just a high quality Larry adventure

The GAMEPLAY experience is extremely high for the series, around the top for sure. Puzzles almost always seem extremely obvious and logical in hindsight or make it worth your while to be extremely stupid and confusing. It's FAR more forgiving than an adventure game like this has any right to be. There's a few overtly cruel and pointless faux-game-overs that returning players would expect, too. The environment is so thoroughly written and voiced that just exploring through the city areas will eventually guide you to a conclusion without grinding a lot of possible item combinations. The writing and dialogue are great even if it gets a bit European flavored in spots. The jokes are (still) very dated and plenty lame but the execution is often better than the "core" Larry games. Larry (or the player) is still the butt of every joke. There isn't any political statement but there is a LOT of "old man yells at cloud" and that goes great with the man out of time premise. The characters are mostly 2D comedy stereotypes but as they progress through the story with you many of them get a lot of time to shine. There's not a lot left behind because their gag was over, everything gets reused over and over and fleshes out the relatively small environments well. CONS: It's not heavy on bugs but you absolutely need to save regularly. At one point I was terrified that I accidentally crafted an item twice around 3/4ths of the way through the game and had a separate save just in case I had to roll back a few hours. The game gets pretty empty as you finish the side character stories. As the "main plot" speeds up the characters remaining in your environment thin out and have less impact on anything. The last 2-3 girls have barely any impact on anything except as a puzzle roadblock. The dating app premise might as well not even be in the game. The point system calls back to the old score systems but there's not a lot of jokes in or around the profiles or anything.
