Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards: Reloaded

Mimo że Larry 7 jest najlepszy, to bardziej lubię oryginalną starą trylogię tej gry bo takie było pierwsze założenie twórcy ,aby Larry dążył do szczęścia i naprawdę je w końcu znalazł co trzecia część definitywnie zaznacza koniec jego tułaczki. Dlatego miło było przejść jedynkę w odświeżonej wersji : )

There's an annoying resolution bug, but I managed to find a work around

Lots of the point and click functions felt pretty clunky. Pretty frustrating when that is the main gameplay loop of the game. Worst thing about this game is the currency system. Only way to get money is through gambling. The developer wants me to sit on the slots which is most likely programmed to make me lose. And when you run out of money, you get some bum outside to give you another 10 bucks but you also have to wait an eternity for him to walk to you. Predatory gaming development practice at its finest. Stay away from this junk. I only finished this game for completion purposes to properly review it.

A very dedicated to remaster to the original. Leisure Suit Larry is an old school adventure game that follows the sad tales of a 40 year old virgin. Larry is looking for love. In order to try and find love you must solve puzzles a la old school Sierra days where puzzle solving takes a strange often illogical solution in order to move the game forward. The puzzles aren't exhausting in this game, they can be a bit more simple than most Sierra style games, but you can still die. Here at least, it just restarts you where you made the mistake. There is no more, you better have saved or else scenario like you would find yourself faced with back in the day. Those games were unforgiving. You still utilize the different icons such as the walk, look, take/use, zipper and tongue. The latter two make for some great narration though so make sure to take advantage of those icons. The music is similar to the original but remixed for today's standards, which is much better than the old school midi composition, but today's tunes in the Reloaded version still have the same themes, so it's a bit nostalgic. The graphics are very much cartoony with what appears to be handed painted scenes and animations. It all looks great for this type of game, since a photo realistic Larry would just be creepy and definitely more bordering on trying to feel like a porn game than a cheeky adventure game bout a guy trying to get laid. If you enjoyed the game from the past, this is not a bad way to revisit. Overall the storyline is funny, but not absolutely entertaining, and if you're into adventure/puzzle games, I will admit there are far better, but Larry....Larry is a classic brand of adventure game that I hope most people will remember 10-20 years from now and this game seriously helps to keep it alive.

[h2] Zwischen okay und Daumen runter [/h2] Ein recht kurzes Spiel mit einem sehr speziellen (perversen) Humor. Das Altersquiz zu Beginn kann sehr leicht mit try & error umgangen werden. Es kann irgendwie alles angeklickt und alles mit allem interagiert werden, was das Spiel ein wenig unübersichtlich gestaltet und teilweise zur peniblen Genauigkeit führt, damit man bloß nicht daneben klickt und den gleichen Spruch schon wieder hört. Ich war ohne Guide recht planlos wie Larry an sein Ziel kommen soll und was es dabei genau wo zu tun gibt. Mit Guide ging das dann recht zackig - auch wenn ein Teil der übrigen Errungenschaften von mir unentdeckt blieb/bleibt. Der Counter, am oberen Bildschirmrand, der sich je nach Aktion nach und nach mit "Punkten" füllt, scheint eher Deko zu sein und keinen wirklichen Einfluss aufs Spielgeschehen zu nehmen. Besonders lästig fand ichs, dass man zwingend auf Taxi angewiesen war und wegen jedem Bums abkratzen konnte. Das pleite gehen kann mit x-Mal speichern & laden beim Spielen von Black Jack umgangen werden. Alles in einem ganz okay für zwischendurch. Allerdings ohne Motivation für die 100% Errungenschaft. Hatte das im Sale abgestaubt - aktuell scheint es aber laut Steam nicht mehr im Shop verfügbar zu sein.

Parece que ele não pode mais ser comprado aqui no Steam, sorte minha que eu já tinha essa obra-prima do entretenimento. Mas pra quem ainda não teve o prazer de joga-lo corre no GOG que lá o jogo tá firme e forte. Nem preciso dizer que em pleno 2023 não tem porque ter vergonha de Leisure Suit Larry, isso é o Adventure Game mais divertido que já joguei.
