  • story108 mentions

    The story of the game is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its humor and continuity from the previous installment, while others criticize it for being convoluted and lacking depth. Many found the plot engaging enough to warrant multiple playthroughs, but noted that character development was often weak and some plot elements felt irrelevant. Overall, the narrative offers a blend of charm and silliness typical of the series, though it may not satisfy all players seeking a cohesive or compelling storyline.

    • “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 fun and interesting; I hope they continue the series with this formula.”
    • “The previous Larry game in this new series managed to combine the regular plot of Larry trying (and often hilariously failing) to score with a larger overarching story, and while the humor was a bit hit and miss, it mostly succeeded.”
    • “The story unfortunately is total nonsense, but this is true of most of the games in the series.”
    • “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.”
    • “While wet dreams don't dry puts the anachronism Larry into a modern and woke world he absolutely doesn't fit in with all his chauvinism and obsession for sex, wet dreams dry twice just repeats the game's formula without keeping its focus on the very plot twist that made the predecessor so great.”
  • humor99 mentions

    The humor in "Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Dry Twice" is a mix of crude, suggestive jokes and playful puns, appealing primarily to fans of immature and raunchy humor. While many players found the humor entertaining and nostalgic, others felt it fell flat or became repetitive, with some jokes lacking the charm of earlier entries in the series. Overall, the game offers a blend of funny moments and clever puzzles, though opinions on its comedic effectiveness vary widely.

    • “Dive into a cheeky adventure filled with hilarious encounters and clever puzzles.”
    • “Raunchy, chuckle-out-loud-every-three-minutes funny, and with an actually good plot.”
    • “Great humor and well designed adventure.”
    • “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.”
  • graphics43 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally described as colorful, vibrant, and charming, with many reviewers appreciating the hand-drawn artwork and attention to detail. While some found the visuals appealing and fitting for the game's style, others noted inconsistencies and technical issues that detracted from the overall experience. Overall, the graphics received mixed feedback, with many praising their aesthetic while also pointing out areas for improvement.

    • “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 are colorful and vibrant, and there are many details in each scene.”
    • “✅ Gorgeous looking, cartoony and colorful hand-drawn background artwork.”
    • “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.”
  • music23 mentions

    The music in the game has received high praise for its quality and ability to enhance the overall atmosphere, with many reviewers noting its evocative and unique tracks that fit well with various game environments. While some songs may be recycled from previous installments, the soundtrack remains engaging and non-repetitive, contributing significantly to the game's charm and humor. Overall, the voice acting and musical score are highlighted as standout features, adding depth to the gaming 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 is too low and overlaps 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).”
  • gameplay23 mentions

    The gameplay of the latest installment in the series is characterized as a classic point-and-click adventure, featuring a new blueprint mechanic for item combination, though it is underutilized with limited complex items. While the game offers a diverse and longer experience compared to its predecessor, it lacks innovative mechanics to elevate the genre and often relies on familiar tropes from other franchises. Overall, it improves on previous entries but may not fully capture the unique charm that fans expect from the series.

    • “You could, however, manage to get 23/24 achievements in one playthrough, and most of the missable achievements will probably be obtained pretty naturally through gameplay by many, if not most, players.”
    • “The game starts off strong, introducing the new blueprint mechanic which allows combining several items at once, but unfortunately, there are only four complex items to be made this way throughout the game.”
    • “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.”
    • “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.”
    • “There's also a build mechanic which is pretty much a form of combining multiple items to create your final object, but it's very underutilized and nothing really special.”
    • “It falls into the terrible adventure sequel trap of using more complex puzzles to pad out the gameplay.”
  • grinding13 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized for its tedious and repetitive puzzles, which often feel forced and unnecessarily prolonged. Many players found themselves relying on walkthroughs or skipping content due to the frustration caused by redundant challenges and poorly designed sections, such as the labyrinthine maze. While some puzzles are deemed fair and enjoyable, a significant portion of the gameplay is marred by time-wasting elements that detract from the overall experience.

    • “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.”
    • “Most of the puzzles are fair and logical, though as it's the nature of the genre, there will be some dumb stuff such as the sleeping pills one or the maze at the end which honestly felt really pointless, tedious, and was just put there to prolong the game.”
  • stability9 mentions

    The game's stability has been widely criticized, with numerous players reporting significant bugs and glitches that detract from the overall experience. While some find the game enjoyable despite these issues, many recommend against it due to the frequent and distracting technical problems, particularly towards the end. Overall, the consensus indicates that the game is too unstable at launch, with hopes for future patches to address these concerns.

    • “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, sometimes even immersion-breaking.”
    • “I really liked the last game, but this game is just too buggy to play.”
  • emotional4 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is noted for adding depth, particularly through the poignant farewell to the AI character, Pi, which evokes sadness. However, some players feel that the retro style undermines the emotional impact, especially in the final act, where the lack of expressive visuals detracts from the overall experience.

    • “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.”
  • atmosphere3 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is characterized by a light and humorous tone, enhanced by colorful backgrounds and effective voice acting. The music complements the setting, evoking a tropical, James Bond-like vibe that resonates well with players.

    • “The story progressed, the 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, creating a tropical/James Bond atmosphere that ranks up there with my favorite 'Larry 7: Love for Sail'.”
  • optimization2 mentions
