Title: Postal 4: No Regerts
Genre: Action/Adventure, FPS, Shooter
Graphics: 3/5
Music: 4/5
Sound: 3/5
Strong Suits:
☠ Great gun models and sounds
☠ Classic Postal chaos
☠ Amazingly good cinematics (shockingly good in contrast to the rest)
☠ Good power-ups and items with some items returning from old games and some new
☠ Large map with lots of freedom of where you go
Weak Points:
☠ Visual bugs
☠ Near constant crashing
☠ Bosses not spawning or spawning in the wrong place
☠ Unexplainable bugs constantly
☠ Some weapon boxes will not return your gear, forcing you to get everything again
☠ Some doors will de-spawn or disappear forcing you to be trapped forever
☠ Some bugs can make the game unplayable forcing a total restart
☠ Most store and house interiors are totally barren
Comments: In its current state I cannot recommend this, not even as an early access title.
It has really good roots and definite potential but it is in a very poor state currently.
If you liked Postal 2, then what this game is supposed/going to be will be good for you, but in its current state, it's nearly unplayable. I couldn't even complete the game due to the door in the mall disappearing after I finished the errand there, even no clip and teleport cheats cannot get me out of the mall.
The map is huge and you can go into almost every house and business, which sounds cool till you realize that most of them are totally barren. Just a house asset that is totally empty. The ones that aren't empty are hit or miss if there will be stuff no clipping through walls, or if it will actually look like an interior.
Another side note, not a huge deal, but all the gun animations and reloads are great, but when you reload the shotgun, the shells just kinda spawn in your palm. Like I said, not a big deal, just lazy.
It honestly makes me pretty sad. I wish that I would have waited because I do believe that this will eventually be a good Postal game, but right now, it's nothing more than a pretty empty romp around that gets annoying and frustrating due to its bugs and lack of stability. My suggestion is to wait till it is more complete, I got this on sale and I am still disappointed.
The only way I recommend this is if you are a hardcore Postal fan who wants to support the devs despite progress. With that being said even then I would be wary seeing as they have OK'd another game to be made by another dev team.
Overall Score: 1.5/5
