Late Review“The level of humor that is offered due to the situations he is involved in does not touch the past.”

Late Review“Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice delivers exactly what you'd expect it to; sex-based jokes and puzzles that integrate that. Even with expectations set there, it's somewhat unfortunate that it serves up such an underwhelming blend of puzzling and puerility. It is at least a passable point n' click effort that occasionally elicits a genuine chuckle.”

Late Review“2018’s revival of the Leisure Suit Larry series was a little bit surprising. Whilst the original titles certainly weren’t bad (I’ll admit that I’m actually a fan), it was hardly a point-and-click series that was remembered as fondly as the likes of Monkey Island, King’s Quest, and so on. Plus, it features a perverted and misogynistic protagonist – it’s the sort of thing that doesn’t sit so well with modern audiences.”

Late Review“While Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice is a solid point-and-click game, the game alienates new players, and massive control issues ultimately sour a decent experience. Newcomers should steer clear of this entry if they have any interest in the series, but for core Leisure Suit Larry fans, it might be worth checking out this otherwise solid entry on another platform.”

Late Review“A decent enough sequel with plenty of work still to do, Wet Dreams Dry Twice sees Larry learning about the modern world and his place in it, whilst longing for the love of his life. To say I’m surprised I didn’t despise every second is an understatement, though there’s not quite enough under Larry’s bed sheets to warrant a return visit.”

Late Review“From fans to fans, but the rest can check. A little sex, more running for your beloved and quite a few typical of a series of challenges.”

Late Review“A worthy sequel por the series, but maybe too similar to the previous one. It offers some interesting puzzles and gags, though.”

Late Review“Wet Dreams Dry Twice is an odd experience. It oscillates between totally enjoyable and completely tedious. I am either enjoying the challenge of a certain puzzle or flocking to the safety of a guide to get me through. Like most games, I can imagine a perfect audience for Wet Dreams Dry Twice, but to me it feels dated—and not in an intentional manner. Sure, loyal fans might be thankful that CrazyBunch has stayed true to their roots, but newcomers will find a game that feels too deeply couched in a bygone era. I haven’t played a point-and-click in over two decades, and yet the genre feels completely unchanged. Is that a good thing? Possibly to long standing fans of the genre. But to most, it’s all going to feel a bit stale.”

Late Review“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!”

Launch Window“Larry deals with the modern world in a similar way to Austin Powers after he was defrosted... and similarly still finds ways to cram crude humour in whenever possible.”

Launch Window“While outside the box thinking is required; the game does not take itself too seriously and while some fans of the series such as myself prefer the original game series; this is still a nice new entry into the mix.”

Launch Window“Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice has some great humor and somehow tries to make the world better. The same doesn't count for the puzzles, however, and sometimes, all the ... stuff is over the top.”

Launch Window“Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice tries its best to keep the lewdness of its titular character intact, but ultimately falls flat on the delivery. It's great fun as a point-and-click game, though, and-coupled with stellar voice acting, vibrant graphics, and a compelling protagonist-is a breath of fresh air from the seriousness of the world today.”
