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.

Disappointing

I pretty much agree, but to add two things I don't see other reviews mention: * The user interaction is not that well thought out. Just a few examples: You cannot pause the game when someone is talking, and you're likely to accidentally skip lines of dialog by clicking. Using keyboard shortcut to close inventory unselects the item, so instead you have to drag the cursor outside of the inventory, and wait for it to disappear. * The game has no autosaving, which would be fine if there were no major bugs, but unfortunately it's not that hard to get into a state where the game becomes unresponsive, requiring you to terminate it and start from the last hard save.

Better than its sequel, way more "Larry"

Larry games follow a simple pattern: Larry is a ~40-years-old man who seeks true love, or at least true sex. With your help, he points and clicks his way through a set of lovely ladies who have needs and wants Larry has to fulfill (by solving funny puzzles). After making a girl happy, he's rewarded by... being somewhat (ab)used, missing out on sex due to hilarious circumstances, or being traumatized in a hilarious manner. It's never cruel, though; Larry is otherwise extremely lucky, plus now and then he is allowed to "score" for real. He always bounces up quickly. At the end of each game, there is a special girl who promises more than just a hot night (or, hot 5 minutes...), a girl who could be The One! Of course, no matter how great things look at the end of the game, there comes a sequel, and evil Al Lowe robs Larry of everything, throwing him into the dating scene once again. This game brings the same pattern into a modern setting. With the help of a local version of Tinder, he hooks up with sexy babes, turns their lives around for the better, and then prays. Sadly, he's also forced to date gay men, because supposedly he doesn't know what "sexual orientation" means, and perform a sex act on a drag queen. The devs considered that funny. It's not. Indeed, they failed to mimic the intentionally dry and corny humor of Al Lowe in general. Also, instead of the horny but harmless lovable loser he is, he's treated like a chauvinistic skirt chaser who'd hump a drainpipe, insulted in a mean-spirited way. Then there's the fact the devs decided to make an erotic game with all the erotic content censored. You will see a man deep-throating a corndog, but you're forbidden from seeing a female breast. Even during sex. This and other minor problems prevent the game from being great. Still, if you're able to swallow (he he) this, it's still a more than decent addition to the Larry series. Just, maybe get it on sale. P.S.: There's a lore-friendly nude mod on ModDB.

I hate games like this.

I would suggest playing South Park stick of truth instead of this crap. I purchased the game because I liked Adult Comedy games. But I hate everything in this game. What pissed me off initially, was that, to play you need to answer sequence of questions to determent if you are old enough. It is really frustrating to get few answers right then fail the last one and having to start again. Now I am 35 years old and believe me I am old enough to play. I am not a native English speaking person but questions such as who score how many goals year 2000 or which of the tv shows is not porn are flat out retarded. Who the fuck remembers such irrelevant information on top of their head. Yes technically you can google that shit but I wanted to play a game not browse for answers for 10 min. I don't know, last time I checked, the game I got was Leisure Suit Larry not the damn who wants to be millionaire.
