entertaining plot with a complete map, npc, and dude model change. postal 2 but if it were set in a dingy russian town. i really enjoyed this, and i felt like it had the same replayability as base p2. like p3, this has possibly one of the best soundtracks ive listened to. some errands are bugged, like the hooker errand, im unsure how i 'fixed' it but i didnt have any other problems while playing. the voice lines are laughably bad but i think that is what gives it its charm. there are a few new weapons but they're really weak, and also instead of the health pipe, you get vodka!
2011
ignoring all the crashes, the corny, unfun, slog errands, the weird third person gameplay, the weapons... yeah.. i like this and i felt like it could've been executed better if it were made by a more competent company, but at the same time, akella made corkscrew rules which i LIKE. so ill forgive them for this. 3 stars for the amazing soundtrack, 1 for the beautiful concept art, and 1 for the existence of postal 3 dude. i love him so much

im gonna be generous with this since one of my fav artists did work on it, and they did literally make it within a month so.
gameplay is a top-down shooter, like the OG postal, however its all 3d assets and the NPCs chase you down, instead of you chasing them. you can also play as female postal dude, named postal 'doe'. i love her. and the voice lines are really well performed
unfortunately the game is poorly optimized and incredibly laggy, especially on the menu screen. the controls are awful and ive literally lost plenty of runs because of NPC collision. its really only fun for 10 minutes or so. and the fart sound effects get old very, very quick. the lighting in the maps is too bright and hurts your eyes, i really wish there was an option to change this.

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
2019
i have a lot to say on this one. i highly recommend it if you're obsessed with the postal series as i am, however, it is still very much unpolished. i really wish it were optimized better since frame rate and lag are big issues with this one.
the humor is a bit corny and outdated, as a lot of it references memes or events that happened between 2018-2022, and you know how things get uh... old quick, if that makes sense? an example of this is a huge billboard in edensin which advertises a satirization of that netflix show 'tiger king', this one was popular during quarantine but its not really something people care or remember today
i love the costumes and having to do side quests to get them, and my favourite part above all are the voice line options. they feature the voice actors of the previous dudes from the other games. epic.
i, however, do not like the plushie collecting. as i write this, its actually impossible to complete. trust me, i tried. 1-3 are stuck behind walls which you cant get through without cheats (and cheats disable achievements.. soooo...) i really hope rws fixes this because its honestly very frustrating, and getting around the map is so tedious, the bike helps but not by a long shot, i guess im just more used to the postal 2 map but i feel like this one needs a bit more work

love the background art. the original postal but with plenty of bug fixes and additions, as well as better npc models. if you loved the edgyness of postal 1997, you'll love this
everything ive ever asked for. infinite replayability. i love this plotline so much
give dude a break
1997
its good, but very much aged. redux has a better level transition mechanic instead of making you press f12 (i think) to proceed to the next map
2003
i have not been able to stop posting about this game (or the other games from the series) for almost a year now send help
2015
unfun, grindy gameplay which is somewhat difficult for some reason, boring dialogue that feels like it goes on forever, flanderized characters with the personality of cardboard, storylines that make you sigh (AHEM, agartha), and gacha mechanics that make me want to blow my brains out. what more could you want?
unfortunately no matter how many hiatuses i take, ill keep coming back to it because its the only game that has oberon and i need him in my life

the tutorial dialogue is a bit much, surprisingly my phone wasnt on fire by the time i woke up, it doesnt seem to be wasting much of the battery..? the art style is really cutesy and i like the chill vibes, not much of a 'game' though
