This game is alright. It sucks to play without a friend or looking up a guide from time to time to help you out because this game is littered with frustrating design decisions or just poorly thought out mechanics, leaving atleast me quite often confused as to what im supposed to do. What also doesn't help is how disconnected all of the areas and the entire world feels. It gets comical at times like when you take an elevator and suddenly land at bowsers castle. This game has so many frustrating areas and the bosses are often lacking but whilst the world is disconnected its still beautiful and the game has its charms. Honestly you play this game more for the world and the artsy aspect than the gameplay, because even though the core combat gameplay is alright, this isnt often what the game is about but rather traversing the levels (which is fine), but due to this games bad to mediocre areas really frustrating at times.

few words can be used to describe postal 4 - mediocre; ugly; buggy and most importantly - joyless.
this game feels like a cashgrab with bad reception of it being covered by multiple layers of irony by RWS that it was intended to be ass.

i struggle to grasp how you can make a postal game and make it inoffensive, using safe unfunny lame humor as well as somehow avoid making it fun. postal 4 humor is literally HAHA FECES HAHA SEX TOYS without anything boundary pushing or interesting to it.

it's insane that it seems like RWS put more effort into their social media accounts than the actual game. the game is ugly as a sin with inconsistent artstyle, it's prone to crashing or bricking mid missions which are not fun in the first place. npcs are incredibly fucking dull compared to postal 2.

i find it to be hilarious RWS tried to distance themselves from postal 3 just to make a game that's closer to it in quality than it is to postal 2, it's incredibly doubtful they will fix it because it would require rewriting the game from the very foundation of it.

if you get a postal itch and want to play this game for some reason - don't. boot up postal: brain damaged (which i consider to be the actual 4th game, not this mess) or postal 2. there isn't a timeline where this game is worth 40 fucking bucks, even 20 bucks is pushing it for this piece of dookie.
