- The game features a humorous narrative with many 4th wall jokes and a nostalgic 80s-style sense of humor.
- Improvements in puzzle design and gameplay mechanics make it a fun experience, with a memorable female character, Passionate Patti, who has great chemistry with Larry.
- The game feels like a proper conclusion to the trilogy, with a heartfelt tone and a satisfying ending.
- The game still requires consulting the manual for copy protection, which can be jarring and inconvenient during gameplay.
- Some puzzles and game mechanics can be illogical or unclear, leading to frustrating moments where players may need to die multiple times to figure out what to do.
- The navigation can be cumbersome due to unclear exit points on the maps, making backtracking tedious and slowing down the overall pace of the game.

The humor in the game is characterized by a nostalgic 80s style, heavily relying on risque jokes, puns, and sexual innuendos.

Overall, the humor contributes positively to the game's enjoyable experience, complemented by engaging puzzles and story twists.
“If you're easily offended, I think the whole series probably isn't for you, but if you like the type of humor that Al Lowe's games are known for, you'll find this game funny.”
“The story was enjoyable, there was an interesting twist, the humor was laugh-out-loud funny (at times), and it was all around a good experience.”
“The story had a decent sense of humor, and it made me laugh out loud a few times, which is more than I can say about LSL2.”

The story of the game is generally well-received, featuring a humorous narrative with enjoyable twists that elicit laughter. While it offers a tighter narrative and better design compared to its predecessor, it lacks the adventurous spirit of earlier installments, making it feel less unique. Completionists are encouraged to play it for its connections to the series, but newcomers might prefer the later games for improved visuals and gameplay.

“Completionists want to play this before LSL5 as the storylines are connected, but newcomers to the series may want to consider one of the later offerings.”
“Lsl3 has a tighter narrative and better design than lsl2, but it lacks the crazy plot and wild sense of adventure, so it is less of a unique experience.”
“Lsl3 is a very good Larry game, and I enjoyed it much more than lsl5, but games 1, 6, and 7 basically offer the same 'constrained setting with a cast of females to woo and a heroine to conquer' plot with much improved visuals, voice-over, and a comfy mouse interface.”

The graphics in the game are considered dated and somewhat cropped, which can hinder gameplay by affecting hints and puzzles. While not overly graphic, the visuals are deemed unsuitable for children, and the newer titles in the series offer improved graphics and a more user-friendly interface compared to earlier entries. Overall, the bundle provides a mix of classic text parsers and newer games with enhanced visual quality.
“Lsl3 is a very good Larry game, and I enjoyed it much more than Lsl5. However, games 1, 6, and 7 basically offer the same 'constrained setting with a cast of females to woo and a heroine to conquer' plot, with much improved visuals, voice-over, and a comfy mouse interface.”
“The graphics are a little cropped, which can affect certain hints/puzzles.”
“If you aren't sure about text parsers or don't like the very dated graphics, then the bundle is still a much better deal since you get the first three text-parsers, but also the 4 newer games (5, 6, 7, and Magna Cum Laude).”
