fun as hell. no experience with postal games but i'm guessing all that aged milk humor is what they were aiming for and they hit every target. takes a lot from other games of its kind but manages to feel like its own thing. got a kick out the cartoony artstyle and there really isn't any part of this game that looks boring.
good selection of weapons that i rotated through pretty frequently. apparently pissing on enemies can stun them but i definitely didn't use that enough to realize.
genuinely surprised i got any enjoyment out of this after the "fuck suburbia kill em all 410,757,864,530 dead suburbanites" intro stage but here i am.

It's Postal alright. I can't say much about it, just play it.
The weapons are crazy unbalanced, levels are what you would expect from a arena boomer shooter. DUKE NUKEM KICK BABY. The artstyle reminds me of Dusk. Doom Eternal shotgun chain, awesome.
Now, the levels might get or look boring an uninteresting as time goes on. Weird because it's start very good with the Suburbs. The rest is oddly generic.
It's a good time outside of that.

Postal: Brain Damaged is the love child of, obviously, Postal and 1990s Boomer shooter. With its fast-paced gameplay, a diverse arsenal of weapons, key cards, and plenty of strafing, the game gets a lot of things right. The art style, with its crooked edges and dream-like corridors, creates a completely whacky overall experience reminiscent of titles like Psychonauts. While some levels feel like blatant copies of "Milkman Conspiracy," the game also takes us to dark asylums, a video game convention, and even the US/Mexican border??? Yes, the humour is a bit off. It feels like a mix of the usual Postal humour and incredibly outdated pop references, including Elon Musk, Trump's wall, Corona, toilet paper hoarders, 5G towers, and more. It's as if the game was in development for too long and they had to go with the humor of that time. This might make it challenging for the game to age well in the coming years.
One aspect that almost always works well in Postal: Brain Damaged is the weapons. From the regular pistol, which despite its appearance feels incredibly satisfying and impactful, to the nail machine gun, Holy Hand grenade Launcher, A Dildo Bow (!!!), and more, the game offers a variety of entertaining tools of destruction. However, the shotgun, seemingly riding the wave of Doom Eternal, falls a bit short. It lacks the necessary punch and takes too long to reload. Rarely did I feel the need to use the chainsaw because the shotgun's weak damage couldn't finish off enemies efficiently. I rarely found myself utilizing the secondaries, although this might be different on higher difficulty settings. On the standard difficulty, I managed just fine without them.
Unfortunately, there are occasional bugs that can be frustrating, such as falling through the floor or encountering unclear level instructions. For instance, encountering a laser grind that appears to have enough space to jump through, only to meet an untimely demise. The enemy design is just as whacky as the levels, featuring Bloodborne-like creatures, Texans running on their moustaches, bondage crawlers, Mexican poops, and more. There isn't always a strategic approach to weapon selection; most of the time, it's about using the one that gets the job done quickly and has ammunition. However, ammo can be scarce, forcing you to switch weapons frequently.
The placement of enemies and weapons, especially after a level transition where you lose all your stuff, can feel arbitrary. For example, starting the third chapter with just a shovel and the cat blaster (with very little ammo) while facing an overwhelming force of shooting enemies. This undermines the otherwise fast-paced gameplay. Nevertheless, despite its numerous issues with game design, humour, and level design, I still had fun playing Postal: Brain Damaged. Fans of the Postal series and Boomer shooters, particularly those who enjoy this whacky ambience, will definitely have an enjoyable time.

You can Piss fire
i wish this werent so hard sometimes, a few levels are a pain in the ass. i love the art style and the gameplay, but like my problems with p4, the humor in BD is also incredibly corny, ignoring that, real solid game
This is a good asf game!! I haven't played a lot of fps games, much less boomer-shooter types, but if they're all as good as this or better, god damn I cannot wait to play them all!
The enemies are diverse as shit. The levels are diverse as shit. The secrets are diverse as shit (tho some kinda suck in terms of reward but whatever). Even the weapons are diverse as shit. Honestly you'll only need the shotgun for 80% of it but the other guns still have their uses thanks to their secondary ability, which really encourages creativity. The items too are unique as hell and all extremely viable. I didn't use all of them cause I didn't really need to, but god damn alternating between pissing and shooting has never felt better. If you're experience with boomer shooter types I recommend playing on hard (or postal) difficulty so you'll be more likely to use everything at your disposal.
Best part about this game tho? It still FEELS like a Postal Game. Not just another soulless cash grab spinoff looks at FATLUS

an absolute favorite game of mine now
Unironically the best Postal game.
The first mission was pretty bad and messy, but the rest of the game was surprisingly fun, challenging and creative. Surprisingly probably the best Postal game to date. If you would like to hear more of my thoughts you can check out my video review of this game.

Weird ass game but its postal and somehow the most polished postal game ever released. Fun boomer shooter, had interesting weapons and fun gameplay loop.
It's not my favorite Postal, but it's probably the best one. Really inventive and fun boomer shooter, level design gets insane. I find it hard to recommend the Postal games to people that aren't already familiar with them but this one I think has a much wider appeal just being a really well constructed FPS campaign and not suffering from a lotta the jank the RWS official postal games have.
It is such a strange feeling playing a Postal game without it's infamous jank.
Incredibly fun boomershooter that doesn't take itself seriously at all. Though the humour is a bit hit or miss, especially some of the boss fights. Still this game has shown that it may still be a good idea to franchise out the Postal series, even if the time they did that before this showed... less than pleasing results...
Also every single shotgun should come equipped with a grappling hook in every game from now on.

Really makes you FEEL like if the Doom slayer was a conspiracy minded crack addict. Very fun game
This can't be good for me, but I feel great.
This was a great fucking game. I love what they did by taking the gameplay of Postal 2 and building off something entirely new with it. The sheer amount of creativity and fun in this game is great and the way levels come together is wonderful. I love the creativity with the jokes and references. Usually when most things do current day stuff it fucking sucks cuz they either don't understand the memes, it reads like a twitter rant or it's just not funny since they think simply mentioning the thing equals funny...or it's just plain unfunny. Postal actually makes it fucking funny and understands what the fuck it's talking about and that alone is great. Without going into spoilers, killing Ronnie was pretty fun, that's all I'll say. I love how creative they got with all the weapons by the way and I love the crunchy ass style. The Shotgun hookshot segments (easily my most used gun, in majority of FPSes really) reminded me of BioShock Infinite lol...how come more FPSes don't do things like this? Or maybe I don't play enough creative FPSes I dunno...say FPSes three times fast.
When this game first came out I didn't think much of it, I saw a few screenshots and I was like...oh no...is it just Apocalypse Weekend in HD? Like Postal 4 seems to be just 2 in HD (I haven't played 4 yet but I didn't hear great things about it, I intend to play and judge it for myself eventually but for now, yeah). But hooo boy was I wrong. This game is great and I had quite a blast (hehe)
Definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Postal and FPSes...might kick the ass of those not as skilled with these though.
I played and beat on Easy that being said (tho I attempted Normal in very early game), yet the game still felt challenging yet fair. It doesn't hold my hand and if I fuck something up it feels like my fault. I love what they did with the pissing too.

Great doom-like, very comedic and has lots of content.
Also workshop update is here!

what the fuck did i play
still lacking some achievements

A fun and surprisingly-polished Postal spinoff that feels more tonally in-line with the first game despite heaps of dark humor, solid level design, and a creatively goofy arsenal paying homage to many other FPS's. An easy recommendation if you're into games like Dusk or Doom Eternal.
Honestly this is on par if not better than the reason Postal exists, that being "Postal 2". I would even go so far as to say that the team behind "Brain Damaged" gets Postal more than Running with Scissors after the disappointments of "Paradise Lost" and what I heard about "Postal 4" so far.

Fun Boomer Shooter. Nothing special overall but still a good time.
And the dude is just always cool.
Also there is a GOG version available which is always a plus in my book.

Decent boomer shooter
This game isn't discriminating any minority. You kill all of them equally.
a sniper do game é um arco com dildo no lugar da flecha vc segura firme nas bolas e usa toda sua força pra penetrar os inimigos pinto penis pipi humor ria
similiar to doom (2016), just as fun, love the story
Put demo version pick-up voiceover line here.
For some unfathomable reason, RWC decided to turn Postal into a boomer shooter. But by god does it work pretty well. The weapons are quite funny and satisfying to use, with a dildo bow and arrow, a cat vacuum, and the shamelessly ripped from Doom Eternal super shotgun. The thing that really stops this game from bringing out its full potential is that the stages are just not that funny. From dated references to Covid-19, Trump's wall, and furry conventions??
Postal but boomer shooter, really fun.
