    - Looks like a flash game
    - That's not Larry
    - No Al Lowe
    - Bad writing and joke that try to monkey the original but don't come even close

    = trash

This game will make you hate women even more because they all abuse Larry to the point of absurdity. The fails in this game are as painfully unfunny as the Screwnicorn. 3. have at least 49% of your brain missing, removed or damaged -- play this game. The jokes in this game are almost literally visible from space. (dude, we replaced one letter in Queen, that's funny, right?) 4. are an NPC or SJW or beta -- play this game. This game has plenty of "ORANGE MAN BAD" "humor" in it. 5. think gays are perfect or walk on water -- play this game. This actually is redundant a little bit because I already said about missing at least 49% of your brain. Over 1/3 of the game is getting together a gay male couple and being preached to about it. You spend a good three hours getting together "Dick and Lance". 6. are on parole after spending time for abusing living creatures -- play this game. This game treats Larry so badly it's like hearing the pained screams of innocent animals. 7. are part of the "Me Too" movement -- play this game. The ending of this game is literally so disappointing it ruins the game entirely, and that's one of the reasons I'm writing what I am. Also Larry defiles a body double of one character after dressing him up as a chicken. (yes, I said him)
    8. are cruel, mean and sadistic -- play this game. Overall, it's about as funny as a guy who tapes your eyes open and makes you watch as your entire family (including pets) are ground through a meat grinder for six hours and then pats you on the back and says "Awhh, cheer up, buddy. Tell you what. I'll make you a burger". 9. are looking for actual humor -- don't play this game. There are exactly two lines in this game that made me laugh -- the first involved Larry talking about something "Chattering in his pants" and the second was regarding the idea that by 2000, we'd be living on the moon. These lines are genuinely funny. the rest of it is either beta male humor by watching too much Samantha Bee, semi-relevant pop culture references (see? We mentioned Schezuan Sauce. We can be funny) or old archaic style of humor that worked in the 1980s because of a lack of sexy games on the market but hasn't aged well.

    Literally the developer even said the women who were on the development team wanted more nudity than the game had. The decision to make this game as dumb and unsexy as it was belonged to the beta males who programmed this then went home and each one of them shaved their wife's boyfriend's pubes with a Gillette razor. Keep in mind, they were forced to take out a scene where Larry had performed oral sex on a demon statue right when he got arrested.    … Expand

    I love point and click adventures. They were the first games I obsessed over back in the days of Sierra. Interesting puzzles, cheesy humour, memorable characters, and surprisingly well thought through and interesting plots. The original LSL games fell into this bracket. This game does not.

They were the first games I obsessed over back in the days of Sierra. Interesting puzzles, cheesy humour, memorable characters, and surprisingly well thought through and interesting plots. The original LSL games fell into this bracket. This game does not. The plot is boring, and tries to tackle the idea that the world has moved on from the homophobic, racist, misogynistic world that this game was originally born in. Yet the game itself is all these things. And although, this is not completely unexpected, it’s self ignorance is just painful.

    Even if you ignore the games cultural blindness... it’s a TERRIBLE point and click adventure game. There are no ‘puzzles’ just back and forth trips to use item on other item. And A LOT of these ‘puzzles’ are completely stupid. They are either so insanely obvious that completeibgbtgevtask feels like a chore, or so completely obscure (no clues) that the only way to move forward is to test every single combination of items.

    I have no idea how this game is rated as high as it currently is - it is the sort of game that gives point and click adventures a bad name and buried the genre.    … Expand

    New Larry stands in the eighties and nineties with one leg and in 2018 with the other – and between those legs he feels just fine. [13/2018, p.71]

    The premise and story are offering some great comedy, parody and poking at the current generations and ways of dating. Problem arises at the fact that the game mostly does only that and does not delve any deeper into the possible hilarity of it all. As for the gameplay its the every day standard point and click adventure fare. If you are new to the series its a great simple and fun start.

    Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry is a good start to a potential comeback for the series. The return to the classic point-and-click formula is appreciated, even if some of the puzzle solutions can be obscure. The humor could be much better, but some of the jokes do stick, and the presentation is decent. Franchise fans will enjoy this title if they won't miss the original creator's nuances.
