4/10
I almost wanted to give this game less of a score. Many of the issues with Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry carry over to this game. There are numerous voice over mistakes, translation mistakes, responses to dialogue that are identical no matter what you choose, just like the first game. This game starts off with a forced tutorial for a sequel, and you can't exit out of it. There are tons of long drawn out dialogue trees, and cut scenes that can't be exited.

There are a lot of puzzles which make no sense at all, so you spend lots of time trying everything to find something that works. Near the end of the game you're transported to a new pixelated area, and are forced to repeat each day till you get things right. This game got so annoying that I couldn't wait for it to be over! It's like they purposely took everything bad about oldschool Point & Click games and crammed it into this game. Death sequences, again, cannot be skipped. I'm playing on Linux and the game would randomly crash when changing rooms. I'm not sure if this is an issue on Windows or not, but they did put in a recovery for crashes that lets you continue from the point of the crash. The story for the game was good, and the graphics were of the same style as it's predecessor, and there were some fun parts to the game, but the bad parts heavily outweighed the good parts.

I can't recommend this game to anyone, not even on sale, unless you enjoy buggy, repetitive, annoying, and, sometimes illogical puzzles. I gave the first game a 6/10 due to issues with that game, but this one is way, way worse. If you do decide to buy it, I wouldn't pay the $35U.S. to buy it. In retrospect, I wouldn't pay a dollar for it. I bought it in a bundle that was on sale, so no big loss for me. Oh, they also added an achievement to the game that would require you to replay the whole game to obtain it. I won't be getting that achievement!
