This is a direct continuation to Wet Dreams Dont Dry. So I suggest starting with that and finishing with this. I like how Larry scores quite well with the chicks in this game. Much action. And everyone and everything he meets seems to be kinky in some way. I guess it goes with the franchise. There is plenty of running around and as usual I had the walkthrough available when getting stuck. Some of the solutions are a bit strange, but I guess thats what a walkthrough is for. Nicely they also tune some of the most annoying parts such as the maze parts and allow to skip it after too much time wasted. The ending is a bit of a bore though. Larry should score with the chicks, not become some puppet for a "modern strong woman". Well, I like how he is portrayed as a horny and a bit simple but well meaning guy just always out to get some. Why not. The jokes and characters are mostly fine. Seems quite Larry-style. His smartphone app AI trying to brainwash him into a modern stereotype of a woke character but failing in the end due to Larry being Larry but in a nice way works. Yet in the end maybe they realize he is fine as he is. Graphics are the same style and quality as previous one, which is good set for this game. I found the plot and interactions slightly better than the previous one. Maybe the ending a bit less but still. Again, it is good on a decent sale for some light-hearted point-and-clicking.
Nice to see Larry again after all those years/decades when the original Larrys were the naughty thing. As usual, Larry gets portrayed as a typical goofer, fooled and failed by the women he hopes to conquer. Well, I guess he always was a bit like that. Graphics suit the Leisure Suit, and its a good upgrade from the old while keeping much of the spirit. Not that I actually remember what it was really like back then. But it felt fine. Story is a bit meh, and Larry does not score much at all in the game which is a shame. But his light-hearted spirit and willingness to go for it make it good light entertainment. The puzzles are partly logical and partly pull up the walkthrough stuff. Not that different from general P&C games then. Tries a bit of modern political preaching but not too much and not all the way forced so thats fine. It does a nice try of showing what it is to throw someone from the 80's into the modern world of Tinders and whatever. I can somewhat relate. Some hours of light entertaining with a walkthrough and a sale I would say.
It's a point-and-click game with quite simplified interface as seems typical to modern P&C games. Graphics are not the prettiest but it is a quite unique style and stays consistent. Story is OK to play as long as I don't think too much if it makes sense. Some of the minigames are fun little entertainment, a few got me stuck on what I thought were a bit far fetched ideas. But as for most P&C games these days, I pulled a walkthrough and consulted it when getting stuck. No problem. In some ways the game seems to try to push a specific modern political agenda, but not too much to make it extra annoying. I got it on a good sale, had it in the library for a good while until gave it a try. Took me a few hours to get into it to keep playing longer. For a good discount I think its a fine game to get something play a little during a quiet moment. Also worked fine on my oldish Linux laptop.
There is not much to play in a traditional point-and-click sense here. Some mini-puzzle games for ordering symbols etc. Interactive choices in discussion as a form of interrogation. Couple of items Poirot picks up and need to be used at some point. The graphics and narrative are quite nice. It is a well done portrayal of mr Poirot as seen on TV with David Suchet. But the story is simple, not much to control but to follow the story. The mini-games would have been a bit annoying since I am not so much into such puzzles, but a walkthrough is handy :). You collect points by acting like Poirot would. Or how the game authors think he would. Its quite funny twist. Worth as a short casual game on some evenings or on a trip, if you can get it on a nice discount. Worked great on a my oldish Linux laptop also which is not too common.
Story is nice. Nothing about saving the world, just a private investigator trying to solve a case. A few nice ladies, each with their own sad story and endings. Most people being corrupt in one way or another, especially the ones who made it to anything. Much like the real world then. The controls are quite difficult. Often the items and hotspots are hard to find and require very specific positioning for the player to highlight them. Much of the time large parts of the area are hidden as you cannot pan the 3D camera as you like. I found the graphics to be fine, even the animal characters felt fine although initially I thought they were a bit silly. Perhaps because they managed to fit well in the story. Music and sound also fit well into the game. My computer has a decent amount of processing power and I played at low resolution so no problems with resoures in that sense. Sometimes loading takes time, and a few times the screen just went black and I had to exit and restart the game. Given the issue of impossible to skip animations and cutscenes, some of which are quite long, it got somewhat annoying. Fix the unskippable scenes, give better control over the characters and views, some easier ways to reload at different points, and some more freedom to roam the city. Keep the good story and the noir feeling. That would be a great sequel for me.
Quite traditional style point-and-click adventure. Ability to highlight all objects with spacebar is nice. Just few options on clicking makes it not too complicated. Most puzzles make sense, and do not require any crazy combinations you would normally never think of. I like the detective (Don) character, with his dark noirish attitude. The cat was similarly ok. Buzz was fine even if not that memorable. Would like to see more focused storyline on Don in some followup game, as the switching between multiple chars worked quite ok but I like his character the best. Towards the end the puzzles and the story got a bit weird and I did a bit more of the walkthrough skimming. However, it was quite well in line with Lovercraftian stories so I guess there is that. Graphics, sound, etc. all well done (cartoonish) and fit the storyline good. I like it for not being overly long or difficult, but not quite a breeze to just click through in one go. Overall, I would like to see more similar games from the company. Nice game.
I liked the first game for just a Rusty robot going exploring in the mines. This time you get a plot where the girly robot Dot comes to save the world and figure out what all the bad things came from what Rusty did. Graphics and all that is fine and fits the game nicely, just like the first one. It's quite short, about 10 hours gameplay for me. That's fine for me, just something to remember. Same type of digging and gameplay as the first one. Maybe gone a bit more gimmicky towards the end with the upgrades, but overall quite fine. I felt the story was a bit meh but the gameplay was fine, and could play it in shorter bits and checkpoint easily to save progress. Good for some casual entertainment. I'd look for a good sale though, that's where I got it.
You dig down, collect gems, sell them in town (up the mine chute), upgrade, and try to get to the end boss fully upgraded. Simple but fun. Graphics are quite simple but very nicely done, cartoonish. It's like a 2D platformer with digging. Not much in sound but basic effects and nicely fitting background music. Rusty the bot (main character) is also a nice fella, just trying to get to the bottom of things. Literally. Nothing too much save-the-world stuff, politics or such. Just some simple fun gameplay. Smashing rocks and jabbing along. As others have noted, it is quite short. Beat it in maybe 5-7h, I forget the exact number. Not too short, not too long for me. I like it when the game doesn't drag along too long needlessly. I like to play casually for shorter periods every now and then. I could pick this game up any time, play it short or a bit longer, make some progress, and checkpoints are quite easy to reach. Bought this on one of the discounts, great for that price. Played fine on my Linux business laptop.
The story is quite interesting. Graphics are nice enough. Gameplay for the first parts I liked quite ok. Further on it became more of a grind, with some interesting story elements here and there. Turn based combat seems to drag on, and requires good knowledge how to optimize all skills, armour, etc. Else I got CC'd and wiped all the time, with constant reloads. Also I found the game requires grinding a lot of (rather pointless) quests and areas in correct order or be way under-leveled and get wiped all the time. Around end of part 2 I changed to explorer mode, which largely nerfed it for myself. Ended up with the final boss fight where I wiped all the enemies in 2 turns. Bit of a let-down even if easier mode, even if otherwise helped me finish the story. Some balance in all that would be nice. An example. These days there are plenty of walkthroughs and tips online. Often with ideas like re-spec everyone as a thief and pickpocket the town four times to have money to buy decent leveled skills and items. If this is what you have to do, maybe the mechanics could be different. I think it has good basis for a great game, just not the mechanics for me. More focused, real-time with pause, etc sounds much more interesting for me. User preference I am sure. If you like turn-based and don't mind taking 100h to finish it (not counting reloads), its certainly worth a try. I think this is often at a discount, so maybe look for that.
The backstory is interesting, you wake up in your hotelroom, no clothes, no memory.. Just a middle-aged drunk and a mess. I can relate. Next you pull up a necktie and start talking to yourself, trying to figure out who and what you are. Your different inner voices conflicting. The skill system is somewhat interesting, even if there are maybe a few too many skills. But it is something different, and lets you build your character in some ways. However, after a while the game becomes a bit of a grind. You need to optimize skills by saving skill points, and via wearing different clothes, repeatedly looking at a specific challenge and the skill check, optimize your clothes and skill points. Repeat this over and over. The dialogue is overly long at times, more like reading an interactive book. Not much puzzles, just run around and talk to people, hope you picked up the required items or dialogue options so further dialogue options are avaible. And as typical, towards the end the running around becomes quite a job itself. At the very end I realized I had missed some specific side-task to complete, even if I tried to finish most of them. And this left me without options to have the ending I preferred. So replay or reload from long before? No thanks with all the text and running around to repeat. The story is interesting, the characters are generally well though out, you have quite different options on how to relate to others, but I was hoping for more of an adventure and less of a book. Maybe if you like a game that is more like a lengthy interactive book, where you don't quite know what direction you are driving the story towards, this could be a good choice. I wouldn't call this role-playing or many other things on the store page though. I got it on a nice discount, and for that it is maybe worth it to spend some time trying it out. Some of the game style, at least in the beginning, is interestingly different, even if in longer term it was less and less of it..
