Leisure Suit Larry was a funny little old sketch, a joke that stops being funny when you take it too seriously as a game. It certainly stops being funny when you remake it for the sake of being corny and gross, and without a reason besides to feed blind obeisance to nostalgia. I suppose the backers got what they paid for.

I reflected on my childhood memories of LSL (yeah, I played it as a child, weirdly) to illuminate why I think the remake defeats the game. Cue commenters about how I don’t have the right to say what should and shouldn’t exist unless I am going to make a game myself. Oh, gamers, you funny, tail-eating little beasties. I love my work.
