Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don't Dry

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!
