It helps that Larry himself is less malicious and more just blissfully unaware (he has been asleep for thirty years after all) leading to a character who you can still enjoy playing as. The game is 100% aware that many of Larry’s um… eccentricities would not exactly fly in the modern-day, but instead of changing the character to compensate, they change the world around him, genuinely mining the situation for all the comedy it’s worth. It is the right amount of stupid and self-aware that I feel a game of this type needs. The story itself, for the most part, is very good. With this discovery, Larry is blasted into a world of corporate espionage, internet dating and tons of babes who are way out of his league. After clearing the crud, he finds himself a brand new Pi Phone prototype, complete with a virtual assistant that looks eerily like a certain Halo AI. After returning to Lefty’s for a drink and reuniting with an old friend, Larry finds a glowing box in a pile of crud. He’s been asleep a good thirty years, but this is merely a minor setback for our hapless hero, as his 69-year old body looks better than ever. After solving a few puzzles, he makes his way to the surface to find that the world has changed without him. Beginning with the story, Leisure Suit Larry finds himself in a creepy bunker after a night of drinking.
