I liked Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend because of its linearity, which many people seem to dislike. Something resembling a story held everything together, and the set pieces were more unique than what was on offer in the base game.

The game still has you running around doing "errands," but this time, getting milk and buying a Christmas tree are replaced with eradicating a heard of mad cows while fending off nock-off PETA activists and infiltrating a military base to acquire a nuclear warhead to set off at a rival game company's headquarters. The over-the-top nature of everything fits the style of the game much better.

The gameplay doesn't change much from the base game, and it's still one of the weakest parts. The gunplay is atrocious by today's standards; thankfully, the melee weapons are pretty viable.

Overall, if you have Postal 2, this DLC is worth getting to go along with it.
