Review: Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded | Boss Dungeon

Boss Dungeon:

In the end I can not recommend Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded. Replay Games have expressed will in remaking the rest of the series, but they need to show that they can do a far better job than they have here for me to be interested. If you want to play a good Larry game, buy the original series’ collection on GOG/Steam and play some Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail!, if you want a nice HD point and click adventure remake to scratch your nostalgia itch, just pick up the Monkey Island: Special Edition Collection instead. There’s just no reason to play Reloaded unless you’re a long-time Larry fan who feel the need to have played everything in the series. And if you are, at least the game is faaar better than Leisuire Suit Larry: Box Office Bust.

How Adventure Games Fare on Kickstarter

Serena Nelson writes: "Here's the thing. Despite there being so many adventure game projects, they're still a small part of crowdfunding games as a whole. It's also an incredibly niche genre compared to shooters and RPGs. Which means that unless you're asking for a fraction of what you really need chances are good that you'll end up not making it. Outside of titles like Broken Age, Dreamfall Chapters and Obduction, none have breached seven digits."

Kickstarter Videogame Reward Tiers That Make Us Salivate

Serena Nelson writes: "Kickstarter is well-known for being a platform to get ideas funded by fans and without the need to have a publisher breathing down their collective necks. And while it should be enough to give from the kindness of one's own heart there still needs to be a carrot dangling from the stick to make backers reach deep into their wallets. And that's where the reward tiers come into play."
