Larry Reloaded should be a nostalgic journey. But Leisure Suit Larry is even worse aged, as its main character.
I don't remember much about the first time I played Leisure Suit Larry. Step back into the shoes of fat, bald, Virgin Larry and tried in Vegas-ish City of Lost Wages laid first issues a good impression on the eyes and ears.
Playing the game involves trawling round a small number of tedious locations, collecting random objects for obscure purposes. The original version of the game didn’t have many scenes , and you’ll find that true of this remake also.

Many of the puzzles will be old hat to series fans. Searching items you’ve just picked up, returning to areas you’re led to believe that you’re completely done with. Solving puzzles involves clicking on everything in sight and revisiting the same places many times over, until new items arbitrarily appear.

Larry needs money to pay the taxi driver and buy drinks, and the only way to earn is through gambling. Only way to earn money to turn to one of the many slot machines in Lost Wages to boost his spending money for the evening. That you grind for more money by saving your game after wins and reloading after losses. This is a bad system.

Visually, is the game really nice, with beautifully visuals and good animations. Every scene is packed full of colour. The music is goofy and smooth. I like jazz :)

Im a big larry fan and i love the old games. It doesn’t last long and its humour certainly won’t be for everyone. If you are a oldschool larry fan, wait for a sale and maybe give it a try. BUT this modern version cant rescue the old style.

Score: 63 / 100

A very welcome rebuild of my first adventure game that I played... yet somehow it seemed more dirty and complicated when I was 13. I guess that's age does to you.

First thing to appreciate with Leisure Suit Larry (LSL) is that it is a game that originally was created in 1987! The gameplay in this 'Reloaded' version is essentially the same, with updated graphics, interface & full voice/audio support.

Being from an earlier generation, the gameplay can feel basic by modern standards and there is no real direction from a story perspective to guide you either. You only know that you need to guide Larry (the 40yr old virgin) to find love. With limited guidance, the ability to visit any of the locations in any order & a lot of abstract puzzles to solve LSL can leave you scratching your head for long periods.

Simplicity aside, LSL is full of personality. It's a small point-n-click adventure, but each of the 5 main locations is filled with things to distract & amuse you. This is where the real charm of LSL comes through; if you rush through the plot you miss much of what the game has to offer. Achievements have been well utilised too to encourage exploration of 'Lost Wages' . Many are only obtainable by exploring the many these hidden 'side quest' dialog click-points or finding the Easter Eggs around the game world. Some will even need a second play-through.

One of the most enjoyable elements of LSL is the amazing voice acting! The highlight undoubtably being the narrator. Besides having an awesome voice & a good dose of sarcasm, he is ongoingly degrading to Larry with some genuinely funny dialog. I just wanted to click everything just to hear whatever perverted thing the narrator or Larry might say next! The dialog & the entire game on the whole is full of sleezy sexual innuendo, political incorrectness, stereotypical 'one-dimensional' characters & toilet humor. If you don't find these sort of things funny then you probably wont like LSL.

Graphics look good, but the animations are a bit average. Perhaps they are meant to be a bit retro in design (keeping to the original on purpose), but I would have liked to see them more detailed. Also there are a number of audio sections mentioning an 'action' you do that has no animation at all. Would have loved to see (not just hear) these in the Reloaded version. UI is good enough, but take the tutorial! Also, I would have liked to see controllers supported for big screen play in the lounge room & an auto-save function.

As a kid playing LSL back in the day, it aways used to remind me of a naughty, very risqué game I needed to hide from my parents. Now it seems tame, more an ongoing tease filled with a lot of cheap, tasteless one-liners & gags. Despite my change in perspectives, the core essence of the game remains fun & true to the original cult classic.

I find my fond memories renewed on playing through the Reloaded version, all these years on!

Leisure Suit Larry remains a true gem of an adventure game!

This game is hilariously low-brow and jam-packed with childishly adult humor. Its perverted to the point of stupidity, and that is why it is so glorious. It is a point-and-click adventure game and has all the aspects you would expect to find from such a game. You can speedrun what you need to do to beat the game in about 20 minutes, but thats not how you are meant to enjoy this game. There are little quips and perverted asides hidden in hundreds of hotspots throughout the game, each one with about a dozen ways to interact with them all producing different jokes.

As far as the actual adventure game goes, this holds up, the puzzles are pretty simple and nothing requires any extremely nonsensical actions that one would never think of without a walkthrough.

If you are easily offended this game is probably not suited for you. Almost all the humor is sexual and pre-teenish in tone, almost satirically so.

If you like adventure games, and can get in the mood for a childishly low-brow, purposefully offensive experience; then I highly recommend you check this game out.

Its hard to go wrong with Larry. It's cheezy and sleezy and a butt load of fun. A nice upgrade in graphics to an already cult classic game. Play the game but make sure you are wearing a "lubber".

A really nice remake of Leisure Suit Larry 1, you will have fun playing it, especially if you already know the original. Note that this game is not worth 20 bucks, get it if it is on sale or in a bundle.

If you expect to see some sex in the game ... you will be disappointed, but the humour is definitely adult. You will miss many things if you just zip through the game, don't forget to sniff and lick everything. Death is present in the game, but never final (there is even an achievement to do all deaths!).

The German translation takes many liberties and (the text) is censored in some areas (comedian), so it is way better to enable English text and audio.

An under-rated update of a classic point-and-click adventure game. Reminds a bit of the Hector series of adventure games from Telltale in its style and type of humour. I think it's clearly an improvement on the original and the first remake, with spoken dialogue throughout and much better graphics. There's loads of hidden extra things you can do. Overall a fun adventure game worth playing.

Rating 7/10

What is it?
Remastered point and click Adventure game

The Good:

The remastered edition does an excellent job of staying somewhat faithful to the original game. A few things have been changed and they added a whole new girl to go after extending the game length. The graphics fit the game perfectly and the voice acting and narration is great. If you ever played the original and enjoyed it, you should at least check this game out for the nostalgia factor alone. Never did I think I would be playing a lesiure suit larry game on steam. The humor is hit or miss, however you play the game to see what crazy antics the larry gets himself in.

The achievements are pretty creative for an adventure game and I found it enjoyable trying to get all of them. Their is one that is a huge pain though.

The Bad:
It stays faithful to the original which means all the bad points come with it. Puzzles don't make a whole lot of sense and may require a walkthrough to help you. The biggest flaw is that you have to gamble in order to get money so you can travel and complete the game. This causes you to save/load while gambling over and over again until you have enough funds. Not fun at all.

The one achievement that is a pain requires you to hit a jackpot in the slots.

Conclusion

I bought it just for the nostalgia factor alone and I am not disappointed at all. I wouldn't pay full price though. If you never played a Leisure Suit Larry game, maybe now is a good time to do so so you can see what games were like back then (ignoring the graphical updates of course).

Beautiful graphics with FullHD scene resolution! Storyline is completely the same as in original LSL, so people who have completed the old game won't have any problems with completing Reloaded version. There is one additional scene but it's not so difficult to pass. As Russian I found very annoying "age-check" questions because I did not know answers to any of them and I had to google. Larry's voice sounds very similar to voice in LSL7. Jokes are in the same old-school style.
Also game has several glitches: I scored 63000 of 50000; game is crashing while changing resolution during gameplay. I recommend this game for one walkthrough and to remember classics.

get it, for real THE BEST larry game of all... not like that crap they put out a few years ago without al lowe, this one is very much a combination of all that was best of the original larry lefler. I LOVE IT not sure what else to say besides *queue the hypnotic candles and dancing girls* YOU WAAAAANT IT, yoooouuuu haaave to have it, its alllll you can think about!

for real, its a great game youll absolutely love it if you where a fan of the original larry games, and even if you are too young to have ever played them, im sure youll love it anyway! ;) full out 10/10 three thumbs up from me!!

The remake of this game reminded me the old days of good old Larry. The game is awesome and worth every dime. The user interface is clean and objective, making the game experience a smooth one. If you like the series, this is a must buy.

I just can't seem to enjoy the game, there's just too many clicks required to get one single thing done

One of my favorate games as a kid. This is a very welcome remake, some of the old humor is there with a lot of new things added in. Highly recomended!

Hilarious and raunchy it's a brilliant game and a lovely reboot for a once beautiful game series.

A remake of the first (and now very old) Leisure Suit Larry game, this point-and-click adventure has a lot of the same kinds of (often terrible) jokes and sexual innuendo. With the objectives of the game being to find love and sex, you'll laugh a lot in the process of finding both as you explore the small town of Lost Wages to help our hero on his quest. The bulk of the achievements can be found playin through the game, and there are a few extra ones that will take a while to hunt down if you're curious.

Good for fans of point-and-click adventure, adult parody, and/or the original series of games. For those who fall into all three categories, this is a definite win.

PC Gaming nostalgia at it's finest!

good game very short though would like to see the others remastered

This game is fun as hell. Let me explain why. This is an updated version of the original game, which i had played when i was in high school. The story line is funny as hell, with you having to find love in almost all the wrong spots until you find the right woman. I do remember several of the passwords, such as the Ken sent me password which allowed entrance into the hooker's room above the bar.

Game has boobies.
420/69

It should be good. It looks nice, has the crass humor of the original (heck, it *IS* the original but with updated looks) but the game is just completely lacking in so many areas, I can't recommend it at all.

No hotspots to click on (fine, neither did the original) but you just have no idea what is clickable. Try clicking on the bottle on the floor, you get a description of the floor, but the fly on the floor, THAT will get described. You click on items, Larry does not walk across the room, he just scratches himself as the narrator speaks. Even when Larry talks, he just stands around without his mouth moving. There are so many small problems like that, it just spoils the game.

You can't help but think that if just a little more time was added tidying up the whole thing, it could have been good. As it is.... nope.
