Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don't Dry

Very disappointing. There is no story to speak of, the game consists of Larry rushing from one place to the other running errands for people that continuously move their goal-posts. Person A: I need this! Larry: Done! Person A: OK, but now I also need this! Larry: Done! (after having needed to help Persons B and C to get what he needs to help Person A) Person A: Right, but I just realized that I also need this! Rinse and repeat the above ad nauseum. There is no naturally flowing story to speak of. All the puzzles and challenges feel so contrived If you are a fan of the classic Sierra / Lucasarts adventure games, then this probably isn't for you. Didn't do it for me.

People bash Cum Laude a lot, but there was some great comedic writing in it (when you weren't forced to do repetitive mini games). This...has no jokes. 15 minutes and no jokes. You approach some hipster girl (who doesn't look one bit like a hipster) and she asks you if you're on "Instacrap" and "Farcebook". Are those the jokes? Can you even count those as jokes? This is sub-Rockstar levels of satire here. I'm not sure how much further I made it, but I do know there weren't any jokes before I gave up. When it's not throwing "wacky" parody names at you, the humor is so non-present and the dialog so awkward that you quickly realize that this game was not made by English as a first language authors. I would rather go through a dozen Cum Laude mini-games than hear another wacky social media parody pun like the "Timber" dating app.

Well, I have played the German version, the experience may be different with a different language setting. From a mechanical standpoint the game is a solid adventure, the art is nice. It has all the advantages of modern grafic adventures with doubleclick moving instant to the next screen and pressing the middle mouse button displays all the hotspots. The puzzles in the game require require some amount of adventure game logic and the game usually gives a nice amount of hints how to solve them, but in some cases I may have overlooked those hints. The biggest problem I have with the game is that it doesn't fit into the series, and personally I'm counting magna cum laude and box office bust to the series. It's more Deponia 5 with a Larry sprite swap. This game is more a whaky politically correct cartoon with lots of dildos than the sleezy original. Where the older Larrys broke the 4th wall "Wet Dreams don't dry" finds an in universe explanation for it. The game is catering to a political left audience with being a bit preachy about tolerating a persons sexual orientation while at the same time moking people for being straight. So it's a solid adventure game with nice puzzles and some funny scenes, but is Larry back, no.

Fake Larry: There is no relation to classic Larry games except for the use of certain names and places of LSL1, obviously just to form some kind of connection to the classic Larry games. Not even one humorous moment in the entire game and absolutely no adult content inside! Bugs: This game features cheap development based on Unity. Animations are very limited, e.g. you don't see items that you exchange with another character, both characters do some magic hand moves instead. The low quality can also be observed by some initialization bugs when switching to Timber where you see your profile and can rate it left or right. They did not fix that even after the sequel is out ?! Privacy Issues: The game uses Unity's user tracking feature, does not tell you and does not present the opt-out option. Selling this product in Europe does violate GDPR, so it's illegal! Publisher and Developer should be banned from GOG. To sum it up, not recommended, even if it's on sale with 80% off
