    The story of "Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice" is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its continuation from the previous game and the humorous elements, while others criticize it for being convoluted and lacking depth. Many found the plot engaging and filled with nostalgic references, but noted that character development was often weak and some storylines felt pointless. Overall, while the game offers a fun experience with decent puzzles and voice acting, it struggles with coherence and satisfying conclusions, leaving some players feeling underwhelmed.

    • “I quite liked the story overall, particularly the continuity from the first game and a fun build to a la resistance plot that has (admittedly silly) stakes and more cohesion than you'd expect from a Larry game.”
    • “The story is complex, has dozens of different areas and is undoubtedly unique.”
    • “The story progressed, dialogue was hilarious and the atmosphere very good and light.”
    • “The story unfortunately is total nonsense, but this is true of most of the games in the series.”
    • “The characters lack depth and the plot is a bit flat.”
    • “The puzzles don't ultimately feel rewarding, the story meanders all over the setting which ultimately ends up being just as pointless and irrelevant by the end, none of the new characters really end up mattering and the old characters don't receive any believable, compelling or satisfying development.”

    • “Raunchy, chuckle-out-loud-every-three-minutes funny, and with an actually good plot.”
    • “A lovely humorous journey from start to finish!”
    • “It's almost like 90% of the game's funding was stripped and we get a half-baked, unfunny attempt at a game.”
    • “Hmm, that pickup line is not funny at all - actually, the whole game is not really funny.”
  • graphics87 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally described as colorful, charming, and reminiscent of its predecessor, featuring vibrant hand-drawn artwork and detailed scenes. While many players appreciate the art style and find it visually appealing, some critiques highlight issues such as graphical bugs and a lack of innovation compared to previous titles. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the game's atmosphere, despite some inconsistencies and a few players feeling that the graphics could be improved.

    • “✅ Gorgeous looking, cartoony and colorful hand-drawn background artwork.”
    • “The graphics are colorful and vibrant, and there are many details in each scene.”
    • “I enjoyed very much the voice acting, the beautiful and evocative graphics, the great music and sound effects. Really, for me, it's the perfect game.”
    • “The graphics unfortunately still aren't that great, but the music in this game is absolutely fantastic and makes it feel even more like a mysterious adventure.”
    • “I would say that despite the poor graphics and terrible plot, this game is much better than it has any right to be and goes up among the best exploration point-and-click puzzle games that I've ever played.”
    • “In the latter half, there are progressively more and more errors with speech and subtitles, including characters that play the wrong line, graphics that layer incorrectly, conversations that appear to be incomplete, speech that doesn't match subtitles, and even a surprising number of spelling mistakes.”
  • music46 mentions

    The music in the game has received widespread acclaim, with many reviewers praising its quality, variety, and ability to enhance the overall atmosphere, making it feel adventurous and engaging. While some noted that certain tracks may not be memorable after gameplay, the soundtrack is generally considered well-composed and fitting for the game's themes. Additionally, the voice acting complements the music effectively, contributing to a charming and immersive experience.

    • “The music, art, animations, etc., all top notch!”
    • “The soundtrack is quite good as well without ever sounding repetitive at all since most levels have their own unique music beat.”
    • “The humour, voice acting, and music is right on point and creates that tropical/James Bond atmosphere right up there with my fave 'Larry 7: Love for Sail'.”
    • “The ending credits song sound is too low and it overlapped after the credits with the main menu music.”
    • “Some songs have been recycled from the first game, same for the characters and voice actors.”
    • “The music is somehow also better in this sequel (especially the phallus rock cave theme).”
  • gameplay46 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized as a classic point-and-click adventure, with some new mechanics like a blueprint system for item combination, though this feature is underutilized. While the game offers a longer and more complex experience than its predecessor, it lacks innovative elements to distinguish it from other titles in the genre. Overall, it receives mixed reviews, with some praising its improvements and mechanics, while others feel it falls into familiar patterns without pushing the genre forward.

    • “The gameplay is quite diverse (I have to admit I was positively surprised) and longer and more complex than the first one.”
    • “The game does have Steam achievements, the majority of which you will unlock through normal gameplay.”
    • “Not much I can say about the gameplay; it's a classic point-and-click adventure game like all the rest, and it sadly does not come up with any new mechanics to push the genre forward.”
    • “It falls into the terrible adventure sequel trap of using more complex puzzles to pad out the gameplay.”
    • “This new game improves over the previous one in pretty much every aspect as far as gameplay goes, but somewhere along the way it forgot what made Larry games stand out from the other point-and-clicks.”
  • grinding26 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game has been widely criticized for its tedious and repetitive puzzles, with many players feeling that certain sections, like the hall-of-doors labyrinth, are unnecessarily prolonged and frustrating. While some puzzles are deemed fair and logical, a significant portion is described as cryptic, redundant, and time-wasting, leading players to rely on walkthroughs or skip content altogether. Overall, the experience is marred by a lack of engaging challenges, making it feel like a drag, especially in the latter parts of the game.

    • “First half was great, then it becomes a drag and I had to use a walkthrough, then it became very tedious and I just watched the end on YouTube.”
    • “There's the added drawback that some of the puzzles scattered throughout the game are really unfun, tedious, time-wasting, and unfair.”
    • “The maze at the end was absolutely tedious and unnecessary, especially since you have to do it at least 3 times.”
  • stability18 mentions

    The game has received significant criticism for its stability, with many users reporting numerous bugs and glitches that detract from the overall experience. While some players find the game enjoyable despite these issues, the consensus is that the bugs are distracting and can break immersion, making it difficult to recommend the game in its current state. Overall, it appears that stability is a major concern, particularly at launch.

    • “I can't recommend this game to anyone, not even on sale, unless you enjoy buggy, repetitive, annoying, and sometimes illogical puzzles.”
    • “It also doesn't help that the game has glitches and bugs littered throughout it that are noticeable and ultimately distracting, and sometimes immersion-breaking.”
    • “I really liked the last game, but this game is just too buggy to play.”
  • emotional8 mentions

    The game offers some emotional depth, particularly through its poignant ending that evokes sympathy for the AI character, Pi. However, the use of retro graphics detracts from the emotional impact, making key moments feel shallow and undermining the overall tone. While it avoids the cliché of a single protagonist, the execution leaves mixed feelings about its emotional resonance.

    • “It gives the game a little emotional depth and avoids the classic 'Larry has to be single' problem if there's a sequel.”
    • “Also the ending was... kinda more like what you would expect from a final game of a series... and it made me feel sad for Pi, the artificial intelligence that helped you through the previous game as well as this one.”
    • “The fact that we can't see the emotional expressions of the 'final boss' because it's all drawn in a poor reinterpretation of the low-res era of adventure games makes the whole thing feel shallow and cheap.”
  • atmosphere6 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is described as light and engaging, enhanced by colorful backgrounds, humorous dialogue, and effective voice acting. The combination of music and humor creates a vibrant, tropical ambiance reminiscent of classic adventure games, particularly evoking a James Bond vibe.

    • “The story progressed, dialogue was hilarious, and the atmosphere was very good and light.”
    • “The backgrounds can be very colorful, and some of them are really atmospheric.”
    • “The humor, voice acting, and music are right on point and create that tropical/James Bond atmosphere, right up there with my favorite 'Larry 7: Love for Sail'.”
