Great game; gore level is just rght and my parents have already tried to purify me with holy water and red wine. Ratin' it with 10 unmistakeable images of an AK-47 rifle out of 10.

The original twin-stick mass mayhem shooter from before there were twin-sticks, POSTAL gets just enough of an update to run like butter on modern rigs -- and it's free-to-play to boot! Beautifully hand-drawn maps and voxelized models give the player a variety of views that differ per level, mixing things up in your disturbing one man quest to get whatever the Army has put in the water supply out of it...or die trying. This was developer 'Running With Scissors's first bad taste effort to both offend & educate the world with satirical masterpieces -- and it did its dirty work beautifully. The modernized 'REDUX' version: https://store.steampowered.com/app/401680/POSTAL_Redux/?curator_clanid=595510&curator_listid=97479 ... adds a 4-player online co-op mode to sweeten the deal if you'd like to pay to play more. G O P O S T A L!

Simulator of violence, run around the city, kill, blow up, burn people, to the accompaniment of cool phrases of the main character. What could be better?

An isometric mouse and keyboard shooter where you blast your way through a variety of locations, killing cops and soldiers and optionally civilians and for some reason ostriches. Dripping with edginess that feels a little out of place now in a world of near-daily mass shootings. But the gameplay is fun enough and the Postal guy says "I'm going postal" while postaling everywhere.

May 2024

This game fundamentally bring you to a experience for mass murder at all cost. From the start to finish you will be encircled by cops(or the military). With weapons ranging from assault weapons to explosives this game brings you to a world with one task, TO KILL EVERY THING. Even released on the 1997 it has minimum bugs and enjoyable factors. Some personal comments, some achievements can be achieved by using cheat code in game. To achieve all achievements it atleast going to take 20 hours or more due to the bullet achievement that takes so long, to mitigate time for it I recommend you using the refill ammo achievement and to use the auto shot gun.
