the writing in this game is atrociously cringe. just about every reference has already aged terribly, like shit on asphalt on a hot summer day. i know that postal is a game series with absurd writing that at times tries to annoy the player and get reactions out of people. still though, this game actually hurts to listen to sometimes. like they make references to the toilet paper shortage at the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic and it's a big part of the game for like one-third of its playtime. with all of that being said, the gameplay is surprisingly VERY good. the gunplay, encounter designs, level design, art direction, and movement are incredible. if you can get past the redditor writing, you'll enjoy some great and competent retro fps gameplay.
