Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice Critic Reviews

One of the best point 'n' click adventures of recent years, a worthy continuation of Sierra's classic Leisure Suit Larry games.

If you like Leisure Suit Larry games, you’ll love Wet Dreams Dry Twice for hitting every mark you expect from the series, accompanied by a strong story and modern-day identity all its own.

Certainly not one of the general gaming public… but if you like your smutty games less explicit and more tongue in cheek(s)… then this might just tickle your fancy. For those who are old enough to remember the originals, there are a few small moments of nostalgia but then much like Larry (and Austin Powers) you have to remind yourself that this is a more modern and considerate world we live in and you can still have your smutty jokes… you just might have to work a bit harder to get them. Perhaps wait till it’s on special though unless you are a die hard fan.

Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice is a rare gem. It is both a sequel that builds upon its predecessor and a game that can woo new players as easily as it impresses established fans. While it's unlikely to win over those who don't take joy from guessing at the mad reasoning employed by a game designer, fans of the adventure genre and Leisure Suit Larry franchise will find a lot to love in Wet Dreams Dry Twice.

While Al Lowe’s absence and the indie budget are acutely visible and the “moon logic” does show its head now and then, the latest LSL game from CrazyBunch has some subtle improvements over its predecessor and provides a welcoming and entertaining addition to the series.

Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Dry Twice belongs to a rather rare genre of games. Of course, sexual themes and humor may seem too vulgar and flat to many, but you are unlikely to find something as high-quality and well-developed in this gaming segment on the modern market.

Wet Dreams Dry Twice is a solid sequel to 2018’s entry. Some unfortunate polish issues and inconsistent puzzle difficulty stop it being great. Larry is the same oblivious, sexist, backwards thinking womaniser he’s always been but this adventure might help him grow… might!

Wet Dreams Dry Twice is a decent 2D point'n'click adventure, one that seems to be tailor made for old school fans. Unfortunately the juvenile humour and slogging pace don't do the game any favours in order to be appreciated by the general public.

Wet Dreams Dry Twice is an okay sequel to the reboot of a genre-classic series and its faithfulness to old-school sensibilities is both a strength and a weakness. While the humor is a bit too juvenile for my taste, it does manage to elicit some laughs every now and then. On the other hand, players wanting a fresher take on design and writing might want to look elsewhere.

If you ignore a few heavy-handed plotlines, half the jokes and an absurd ending sequence, Wet Dreams Dry Twice is a fun adventure, and a big improvement over the previous game, Wet Dreams Don’t Dry.

Except for hard core-fans of the series, barely anyone will find their time worth invested. Wet Dreams Dry Twice heavily bases itself on stereotypes and jokes that were not even funny when the first game launched. Bugs further diminish the enjoyment, but at least the game has an interesting story and a couple of new features.

By no means the worst in this unfortunate line of adventure games, Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice has forgotten what makes a Leisure Suit Larry game fun. What's that? Well, apart from puzzles that don't drag out so freaking long, a Larry game mostly needs that kind of naughty humour that's less about penis-shaped props, and way-too-obvious dirty jokes, and more about the loser protagonist's lust getting him into all sorts of crazy situations.
