    Subversive, sardonic, brimming with wit and a merciless satire of 21st century dating culture. This is the heart and soul of Leisure Suit Larry, updated for the digital age. Extraordinary puzzle design and brilliant writing make Wet Dreams Don't Dry a must-play addition to the Leisure Suit Larry canon. True adventure game fans take note, this is very much the Leisure Suit Larry 8 you've dreamed of and never thought you'd get to actually play.

    The new adventure of the legend Larry Laffer is an excellent point and click graphic adventure that takes us back to the golden age of the genre. Sadly it offers an anticlimactic ending, few locations, and a somewhat obtuse logic for its puzzles.

    New Larry stands in the eighties and nineties with one leg and in 2018 with the other – and between those legs he feels just fine. [13/2018, p.71]

    Larry is back. Not as lude, but charming nonetheless. Too bad that the finicky inventory as as well as sometimes illogical puzzles con become frustrating at times.

    The premise and story are offering some great comedy, parody and poking at the current generations and ways of dating. Problem arises at the fact that the game mostly does only that and does not delve any deeper into the possible hilarity of it all. As for the gameplay its the every day standard point and click adventure fare. If you are new to the series its a great simple and fun start.

    I wasn’t wild about Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry. The puzzles work pretty well, and that’s the most important thing for an adventure, but the writing is sub-par, and the longer I played the game, the more I felt bad for Al Lowe, the franchise’s creator. Wet Dreams is definitely a game for adults — with a slew of references to penises, dildos, fleshlights, and more — but if you’re a part of that target demographic, and if you like adventures, then you might get enough out of the title for it to be a worthwhile purchase. Just wait for it to go on sale first.

    A disgustingly average game not worthy of being a Leisure Suit Larry adventure. You have to get drunk if you want to squeeze any fun out of it.

    So far I love it. It's funny, challenging and it feels exactly like playing the old games outside of some modern gameplay improvements (ie:So far I love it.

    This newest additiion to the Larry series is great. IT finally goes back to the roots and delivers a charming and funny game.
    It's hard not to laugh with all the subtle and more often not so subtle hints to existing persons, companys, apps
    Everyone who likes point and click adventures should be playing this. It's not like humor filled ones are abundant these days.

    This was an okay little game. I enjoyed the sexual puns and the making fun of our current society, even tough I did find the humor a bit tooThis was an okay little game. I enjoyed the sexual puns and the making fun of our current society, even tough I did find the humor a bit too juvenile at times. It was fun to play Larry again in a classic point-and-click fashion and the voice acting (aside from Larry himself) was pretty well done. Better, in fact, than in a AAA game like Skyrim.

    That being said, I absolutely hated Larry's over the top silly voice. I understand this was done deliberately, but I just hated it. And the puzzles in this game, like in most adventure games, were very bad. The usual moon logic clicking-on-everything-until-it-works fare is present here, although towards the end of the game things get incredible easy.

    Also bad was the story. Why is there even a story here in the first place? If it was just Larry trying to get laid it would have been better because the overarching story was poorly done and made no sense at all.

    As far as it's adult nature goes, it was all very tame. Larry games in the past have been raunchier and I think this could have been a little more raunchy as well. Also the cartoon style of the ladies didn't really making things more 'erotic'. In fact the girls in the original "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards" actually looked more appealing.

    I would only recommend this game for nostalgic reasons and some fun (sexual) humor. As far as gameplay is concerned it fails and it's ultimately an entirely forgettable little game.

    If you: 1. want a game that is for soy boys and betas -- play this game. 2. hate women -- play this game. This game will make you hate womenIf you: 1. want a game that is for soy boys and betas -- play this game. 2. hate women -- play this game. This game will make you hate women even more because they all abuse Larry to the point of absurdity. The fails in this game are as painfully unfunny as the Screwnicorn. 3. have at least 49% of your brain missing, removed or damaged -- play this game. The jokes in this game are almost literally visible from space. (dude, we replaced one letter in Queen, that's funny, right?) 4. are an NPC or SJW or beta -- play this game. This game has plenty of "ORANGE MAN BAD" "humor" in it. 5. think gays are perfect or walk on water -- play this game. This actually is redundant a little bit because I already said about missing at least 49% of your brain. Over 1/3 of the game is getting together a gay male couple and being preached to about it. You spend a good three hours getting together "Dick and Lance". 6. are on parole after spending time for abusing living creatures -- play this game. This game treats Larry so badly it's like hearing the pained screams of innocent animals. 7. are part of the "Me Too" movement -- play this game. The ending of this game is literally so disappointing it ruins the game entirely, and that's one of the reasons I'm writing what I am. Also Larry defiles a body double of one character after dressing him up as a chicken. (yes, I said him)
    8. are cruel, mean and sadistic -- play this game. Overall, it's about as funny as a guy who tapes your eyes open and makes you watch as your entire family (including pets) are ground through a meat grinder for six hours and then pats you on the back and says "Awhh, cheer up, buddy. Tell you what. I'll make you a burger". 9. are looking for actual humor -- don't play this game. There are exactly two lines in this game that made me laugh -- the first involved Larry talking about something "Chattering in his pants" and the second was regarding the idea that by 2000, we'd be living on the moon. These lines are genuinely funny. the rest of it is either beta male humor by watching too much Samantha Bee, semi-relevant pop culture references (see? We mentioned Schezuan Sauce. We can be funny) or old archaic style of humor that worked in the 1980s because of a lack of sexy games on the market but hasn't aged well.

    Literally the developer even said the women who were on the development team wanted more nudity than the game had. The decision to make this game as dumb and unsexy as it was belonged to the beta males who programmed this then went home and each one of them shaved their wife's boyfriend's pubes with a Gillette razor. Keep in mind, they were forced to take out a scene where Larry had performed oral sex on a demon statue right when he got arrested.
