few words can be used to describe postal 4 - mediocre; ugly; buggy and most importantly - joyless.
this game feels like a cashgrab with bad reception of it being covered by multiple layers of irony by RWS that it was intended to be ass.
i struggle to grasp how you can make a postal game and make it inoffensive, using safe unfunny lame humor as well as somehow avoid making it fun. postal 4 humor is literally HAHA FECES HAHA SEX TOYS without anything boundary pushing or interesting to it.
it's insane that it seems like RWS put more effort into their social media accounts than the actual game. the game is ugly as a sin with inconsistent artstyle, it's prone to crashing or bricking mid missions which are not fun in the first place. npcs are incredibly fucking dull compared to postal 2.
i find it to be hilarious RWS tried to distance themselves from postal 3 just to make a game that's closer to it in quality than it is to postal 2, it's incredibly doubtful they will fix it because it would require rewriting the game from the very foundation of it.
if you get a postal itch and want to play this game for some reason - don't. boot up postal: brain damaged (which i consider to be the actual 4th game, not this mess) or postal 2. there isn't a timeline where this game is worth 40 fucking bucks, even 20 bucks is pushing it for this piece of dookie.

i don't understand how anyone can unironically like this game. 2 years out of early access and it still contains bugs from the alpha. not only does it run like shit, it looks like shit. even postal 3 was more visually appealing. the game being hot garbage isn't quirky. postal 2 was controversial because it was edgy, this game is controversial because its 50 dollars and uses unity store assets. they are not the same. the devs can cope all they like
Over hated. Far from perfect and aside from some glitches, it's fun to play. I recommend waiting for the game to make further updates or buy it on sale.
