Ah yes, the Postal timeline where the Postal Dude becomes a Tumblr sexyman...

Postal III is an "uncanon" sequel to Postal² developed by a Russian studio named Akella with the support of RWS. This game is infamously bad, it's hated for a reason, multiple reasons even. The complaints are mostly about the humor being more on the Edgy and Cool side rather than the more cynical personality of the Postal Dude in 2, the gameplay being mostly just a poorly made cover shooter, and the lack of freedom that made the fun in Postal 2.

Personally, I totally understand the hate on the humor of the game, it mostly just rely on porn and racist joke and some are obviously funny but most just lands without context, it's just the postal dude or whatever character just saying a goof.

The gameplay itself is janky but in a fine way, the melee gameplay is awful but the gunplay is really fun for dumb reasons, the headshots are satisfying and we got the goofy source ragdoll. But the gameplay gets really tiresome after a bit because the game solely relies on it since every mission of this game is just "Kill X amount of Y", gone are the diverse and quirky quests of Postal 2, this game is just a linear boring TPS.

And here's the part about the world, there's no open world. You can play in a free roam mode I believe but it does nothing, there's nothing to do, you can just goof around and kill people but that's it, it's not even fun in a Postal 2 way, hell Postal 2 even have mods to enhance the fun but this game has nothing, it's just boring.

Though this game isn't all bad, the soundtrack is pretty awesome and the game looks super sweet, it's a shame this art style couldn't be used for a proper Postal sequel... Yuck, Postal 4 art style...

I obviously don't recommend this game but you might as well try it for the kek it's not long to beat.
